At The Salvation Army’s International College for Officers we are in the final days of Session 260. Next week these amazing Officers will be flying home with a renewed sense of God’s mission and purpose. Please pray for them.

People are turning in repentance & faith to Jesus at @SalvationArmyUS#PhoenixARC. We’ve heard numerous testimonies. Jesus, through the Program, is releasing people from addiction & transforming lives. People who have gone through the Program are readily sharing Jesus with others
Marcia is flying to #Arizona today to study at @ASU for the 3rd year of her International Management with American Business Studies degree. She has shown such determination and strength of character throughout her studies at @OfficialUoM . Thank you to everyone praying for her.
The primary motivation for evangelism and discipleship is the same; it is love. That should characterize both the discussion about evangelism and discipleship and how we go about both.
You cannot build a church on consumers. They'll desert you at a moment's notice because they have no commitments beyond meeting their own needs. Jesus can take twelve disciples and build a movement that changes the world. He could never have done that with consumers.
We can’t be upset when people don’t believe in a Savior that we won’t tell them about.
If we want people to believe in Jesus, then we must tell them about Jesus.
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all."
(Isaac Watts)

PSA: If you’re strategy of reaching the next generation with the Gospel is to start compromising on sin and biblical truth… it’s not going to work. It never has and it never will.
Be kind. Be loving. Be patient. But, also be Biblical. Be convictional. Be bold. Be clear.
