Well, holiday was good. I feel refreshed. Got my fix, so to speak. Visited half the population of the west coast…drank too much (tea). Enjoyed every minute of the real weather. I miss real rain and real cold winds! I’m on missionary service and I’m glad about that. God gives us a home in several … More You can take the man out of Scotland…
I’ve had a really great last couple of days. Celebrated a good Christian life well lived at a funeral in Kettering last Friday. I love Army funerals…strange thing really, but it brings it all home to me. Then, there was the Burns Supper and Ceilidh at the corps. Really enjoyed that…got me in the mood … More Captain needza holiday…
Samuel Brengle wrote a chapter in one of his books (sorry, can’t remember which one) about the spiritual benefits of shouting. Ever tried it?

To grasp the privelege of covenant is to tap into a great source of empowerment and blessing not to mention a great tool for effective Christian living. Stephen … More Covenanted
Been having another think. Biblical evangelism is always, without exception, law to the proud and grace to the humble. Never will you see Jesus giving the gospel to a proud, arrogant, self-righteous person. (If you can find an exception, let me know.) With the law he breaks the hard heart and with the gospel he … More Salvation Army Heresey 3…"However…."
So, the last blog was posted today as well, but this new format won’t allow me to blog twice in a day! Huh!! Well today was “Commitment Sunday” and I had an overwhelming sense of tiredness about asking people to “commit.” We’ve been heavy on our real mission since we came, that has been on … More Another Sunday…
So…just a few more thoughts on the last blog really. Some of what follows is in response to an email received with comments on the last post. Here goes… I do not think I mean to say that the Salvation Army has stopped preaching salvation, repentance and redemption (although it is a long time since … More Salvation Army Heresy? -2-
