“Never must we lose sight of the fact that the spirit of attack is one of the distinctive features of The Salvation Army. Was it not, in fact, this that brought the Army into existence? There were already churches and chapels and mission halls. There was probably more religious observance than now, an abundance of … More Attack! Attack!

I’ve had an interesting day. Been having an interesting email discussion with a very prominant UK savationist leader (who shall remain nameless). Basic just of the discussion: does the love of God negate the necessity of preaching holiness as part of the gospel? My answer is no…you can’t preach the love of God without talking … More Salvation again

The first Tuesday of the month is our corporate prayer meeting. We proclaimed Jesus’ Lordship of our corps again on Tuesday night and we did a bit praying into prophecies given at Roots. Again and again, we proclaim Jesus’ Lordship over our corps…usually it comes about when one of the people in the prayer meeting … More He is Lord…

Hi again…sorry..I need to blog all this stuff before I forget it! I was interested in a couple of things that Major Chick Yuill said in his Bible studies. I can’t remember exactly how he got round to it (and I didn’t buy the CD) but he said something interesting about power and the church. … More Roots Report 6

So, surprise! surprise! I took myself along to the ‘Primitive Salvationism’ presentation by Stephen Court on Sunday afternoon at Roots. Was encouraging to see around 150 people there interested enough to turn up to a talk on Primitive Salvationism. Shame it wasn’t more. Anyhow, I think people generally caught the idea and I guess armybarmy.com … More Roots Report 5

Yup…urm…number 4.

Yeah, so, um…report 3. My vision…I was in the prayer tent after hours in a session where Captain Danielle Strickland encouraged us to do something in prayer. I guess it was about listening to Jesus. She told us to see in our minds eye a place where we are meeting Jesus, what does he say … More Roots Report 3

Hi…well, there are loads of things I want to blog about Roots. First thing I guess, is the problem of translation. I think everyone has trouble with that. You go away, have a great time, come back and then wonder where to start. God did some major confirming for me personally at Roots. The things … More Roots Report 2

Well, I enjoyed a fresh and significant Roots this year. A big congratulations to the leadership team who made some good calls in terms of changes to the programme etc. It was a really good weekend. In fact, over the last few years I’ve been getting a little weary (and worried) about Roots but glad … More Roots Report

Following on from the ‘Gospel Discussion’ there is a need for a new thread. The question in hand now is “what is the purpose of God’s law?” Allow me to offer an answer by a little bible study. :o) Lets first clarify that the Christian is no longer under law, but under the grace of … More What is the purpose of God’s Law?
