2. I believe that we should (and can) be holy There is much confusion around about holiness, the arguements have been well rehearsed. Our tenth doctrine is a gem, straight out of the pages of scripture. It speaks of a possibility, a promise, a hope, a certainty…both now in our current experience and perfectly when … More Affirmations #2: Holiness
Today is the day of salvation, like every other day. And today is the day to get holy like every other day, but today many Salvos around the world will be taking note of the up and rising ‘Salvation Army holiday’ called Sanctification Day. The date comes from a little date when Commissioner Samuel Brengle … More Sanctification Day
I’m very much enjoying soaking in ‘The Uprising’ by Captain Stephen Court and Olivia Munn. Its a great read, full of depth, revelation, challenge, teaching, blessing, salvationism…pretty much everything I enjoy in a book. Its interactive, conversational and direct all at the same time. Its written for teens but I know several people in 20s … More Uprising Thoughts
So, I’ve been at officers councils and been on furlough etc etc…slight pause in he blogging process there! Apologies. The last months have been a time of ‘intelligence’ gathering. Getting into the community, finding out whats going on, getting the gist of the people and their ways. Our first key development takes place this week. … More Yup…still blogging
I found this image (somewhere) and had to share it here. I don’t know who is in the picture, where it is, of what the exact circumstance of this prayer time is, but it speaks volumes. Are they seeking holiness? Are they engaging in repentance? Are they praying for souls? Don’t know, maybe all at … More Passion for prayer
The reality of moving appointment is slowly beginning to sink in. Our second appointement as officers in charge of a Salvation Army corps is coming to an end. I’m not altogether sure I like it, but I know its right. When a place begins to tire you to an extent you don’t feel there is … More The beginning of the end…
I sorta knew on the way down to Exeter for Youth Councils in the car today that the day was going to be an interesting one! I could feel the Holy Spirit doing what I can only describe as ‘quickening’…you know, that sort of electricity feeling that comes when God’s preparing you for a thing? … More Seeing
So, we’re planning a holiness weekend at Pill in October. Problem is, Commissioner Howe, who I was hoping would come and lead it can’t make it. Sad thing is, other than the nearly-Captain Andrew Bale who will be taking up his new appointment in August, I can’t for the life of me think of an … More Holiness Teachers
I wish Brengle was wrong. (No, not my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Brengle, I’m on about Commissioner Samual L Brengle). When I look at that quotation it makes me want to weep because I see it. Although there are always glorious exceptions to the staus quo, Brengle’s words are living themselves out today. I’d … More Glimmers of hope
Great source of Brengle teaching: here.
