Update: High Council Communications…

It has been reported that anyone who is interested and can access a computer can now receive updates as soon as they are released by subscribing to a link I will include at the bottom of this post. As mentioned in a prior update it is unprecedented the access we and the public are not able to receive within the ongoing proceedings of the up and coming High Council.

Here is the official memo:

With the 2013 High Council almost ready to begin, Salvationists and friends from all over the world are understandably anxious to learn of any developments as soon as they happen.

Bearing this in mind, the IHQ Communications Section has set up an email subscription service specifically for High Council news. It is planned that daily bulletins will be published, and a link to the live-streaming video site will be sent out when the announcement of the new General is imminent.

Thank you for sharing this information with your command and encouraging anyone with access to a computer or Internet-linked mobile device to sign up for the latest news by completing a simple form at http://www.salvationarmy.org/highcouncil2013

-Will continue to post updates as soon as I hear anything.

Introducing the New General of The Salvation Army…

I don’t mean to set you up for disappointment here. I am just as curious as you in this process. In just 10 days now those called to the High Council will officially gather. Some have already made the journey are awaiting the start of the High Council. Delegates will consist of our leaders, that much we already know.

Who will be our next General? Will it be a European? Will it be an American, Canadian or South American? Will the next General be from Africa or Asia? Male or Female?

I have been praying for this new leader…have you?

I have been praying for each leader who will be in attendance at the High Council…have you?

It will be a tough office to fill…that much is most definitely true. The international pressures from both position statements and mission within an ever changing culture is certainly mounting.

Here are some truths that I pray our next General will uphold:

1.The inerrancy of scripture.

2. Continuation of the Great Commission in God’s name.

3. Continue to meet human need, not because we’re a social service, but because we serve the Lord and we serve others in His name.

4. Brokering and working with nations to continue to the fight for social justice throughout the world.

5. Growing Saints and Soldiers in our Army…we need more forces for the war ahead.

So who will it be?

Who will our Next General Be?

Here’s my selection…the next General will be…________________________.

Who do you think it will be and why?

Sermon Podcast: “Living Courageously pt.2 – Joshua and the wall”

Joshua 5:13-15 (NIV)
¹³Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” ¹⁴“Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?” ¹⁵The commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
