Dear Salvationist, 3 Ways To Prevent Burnout

This mission that we are on is NOT is easy, in fact it is arduous, laborious and often exhausting. We might feel compelled to do things our way and become tempted to rely solely on our strength – and this is where burnout takes place.

There are often soldiers and officers who have dead eyes. What do I mean by “dead eyes” – the spark has gone out. The fire that once burned so brightly is just a glowing ember. The fight has has been squelched. Have you been there? If so how do you come back from that place? How do you recapture that fire, that spark?

Here are 3 suggestions.
3 Primer observations to help us prevent burnout.

3 Ways To Prevent Burnout

1. Go to the well often!
“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint…” (Jeremiah 31:25)
The well of the Lord is deep.
He provided aid and renewal to Elijah in his time of need, he provided comfort and assurances to David when he was on the run, and He will provide us this water when we too are distressed and in need of it.

This well of the Lord can be found in the spiritual discipline of prayer & meditation…but it can also be found in the nature around us. Have you ever just walked out in the woods and felt the peace and tranquility of that place? It sort of took away that crazy, busy, go-go-go lifestyle that you’re used to in your every day life? These walks can become that well to us because we are connecting with nature-created by God himself. But this well can be different for all of us. He can come and refill us in the most unlikely of places.

If you’re burned out right now, or finding yourself close to the end of your rope, don’t quit or surrender, instead seek out His well of refreshing. He wants us to drink deeply from it often so that we will never thirst or grow weary of this mission that we have been placed on to save souls and go for the worst!

2. Understand you aren’t a solitary soldier
“He replied, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left...” (1 Kings 19:10)

Elijah felt all alone after experiencing a phenomenal defeat of King Ahab, Jezabel and the prophets of Baal, and despite this victory, Elijah feared for his life and felt as if he was all alone. Have you ever felt this way? It’s very common for Officers and Soldiers to feel this way even after experiencing successes at your corps and appointments. Perhaps Satan would love to convince us that we are all alone. The father of lies would love nothing more than to distort the truth and make us believe we have to stand alone…but it’s simply not true.

When we experience burnout, it often comes from a place of utter aloneness…you know what I mean. We feel abandoned, alone and afraid. We might fall into a deep depression like Elijah did and come to the conclusion that we too are the only ones left. It’s not true. Perhaps in this moment of realization it would be time to seek out other believers, those who can surround you with encouragement, love and support. Find another church and/or pastor, seek out another corps member, soldier, friend, call up a mentor or divisional officer that you trust – You. Are. Not. Alone. We were never meant to be solitary soldiers!

3. Our Power doesn’t come from us – but the Holy Spirit.
“but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

I have a confession to make, all to often I rely on my own power, wisdom and strength rather than fully relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. Does this ring true for you as well? I want control. I need to press forward, and so I do, only to find that I have moved ahead of God and out of step with Him. Have you experienced this too? I believe this is where burnout can happen too. We exert so much of ourselves, we pour so much of ourselves, we invest our everything – but it is done with our own pride and strength and we find that once our strength is all gone, we have no idea what to do next besides feeling weak, alone, and powerless.

Dear Soldier, our strength and power has never been enough for the tasks that we have been given. The great burden of ministry was never ours to carry alone, we are only asked to be faithful while the Holy Spirit will lead and provide. I cannot count how many times the Lord has had to remind me of this. I charge in with all of my might and power only to discover I have run ahead of Him…and I run out of strength and power. Does this happen to you too? Are you there right now? You have exerted all of your power, and now you are burnt out? Perhaps it’s time to go back to the well. Perhaps it’s time to realize you aren’t a solitary soldier, perhaps it’s time to ask for the Holy Spirit’s strength and power once again to fill you.

If you are burned out right now – there is hope!
If you feel as if you might be headed that way – it’s time to take personal inventory of your actions, motivation and life. This Army has never been about us shining and looking good in our uniforms, but instead it has always been about fully submitting to God and allowing Him to lead us in His strength and power. Faith doesn’t require us to conquer the world, it simply requires us to conquer our fears through the power of the Holy Spirit, from there, full submission to God can and will lead us onward.

Something more for our Army to ponder today.
To God be the glory!

Quantifying God In Worship

Check out our latest “PonderCast” here:

How do we appropriately quantify God in our worship?
What does that look like?
How does that feel?

<<A transcript of today’s Pondercast is listed below:

I wonder sometimes whether or not we put limits on God in how we worship, within the structures of our worship? Jesus states over and over again that He is present with us everywhere, yet almost always we ask Him to just show up in our services, well…what about our service in every day life? Do we expect Him to show up there? Is this a part of our relationship to Him? Do we attempt to say to God, “You stay over here in this church, I’ll see you on Sundays…” and then we walk away? I mean is God really honored in our lives when we do that?

It’s like having a relationship with somebody but never introducing that person who means so much to you to anyone else, including your parents and friends. But instead you say to that girl friend or boy friend, you stay over here and I’ll come back and visit you. I mean does that make any sense at all? Do you think that kind of relationship is healthy let alone will it last? NO… So why do we attempt to do that with God?

Something else that kind of bugs me is how we actually worship on Sundays.
Have you ever gone into some of those old cathedrals? I mean they are immense structures, some have taken over a hundred years or more to build, and as you walk into these massive doors you look up and you see this vaulted ceiling which juts up hundreds of feet, and there’s stained glass everywhere and the colors are vibrant and the gold is shining in the opaqued windows. Usually the first words upon seeing this sight for the first time is “WOW!” And perhaps your jaw hits the ground and you have to pick it back up…and there’s sort of embarrassing scrapping noise…and everyone turns to look at the newbie in the back that just yelled “Wow” in a very sacred space…

The builders of these monoliths that are cathedrals knew what they were doing. They wanted the worshiper to catch a slight glimpse of heaven as they entered, or better yet what would be waiting for them when they eventually entered eternity. God’s glory was to shine.

Now despite all of the rituals and things one might get stuck on when going to a denomination like this, I have to wonder, within the context of my denomination – have we sort of lost that glory of God in our very practical worship halls? Does it matter? Or is this a thing of the past and we shouldn’t worry with it at all? But I would counter that with – are we missing out on something because of it? Are we inadvertently attempting to quantify who God is within our timed out and perfect bulletins and services on Sunday mornings?

I’m not saying that any of the types of worship formats are wrong, but have we left the mystery of God and the awe of God behind? Have we exchanged the imported marble and the gold for cheap dollar knock-offs? You see when Solomon built the temple of God, no expense was spared. It was built to strict specifications and there was no skimping on any of it.

I must be careful today as I say this because it truly is not about how ostentatious and grandiose your worship hall is or isn’t, it is first and foremost a deep matter of the heart of the worshiper. How we approach worship in and out of church matters. How we come to the Almighty in and out of church matters. How we quantify or leave a mystery about God matters. God doesn’t reside in a box that is our church buildings. God is present everywhere with us.

So let me ask you today, How is your heart?
What matters to you most about worshiping God? How your church is perceived or how you are perceived by God in or out of true adoration and worship? Does it matter to you how you present yourself? Do you offer the most expensive side of you or are you offering the cheap dollar store knock-off leftovers?

God is some much greater and bigger than we ever give Him credit for…and I think it’s about time we recognize this in our hearts and minds. It begins with you and me! What are you going to do about it?

Dear Salvationist: “Those People”

A New PonderCast – (an Audio Pondering) is available to listen today.
Today, hear the words of General William Booth and ponder with me on the topic of “Those People”

Or Click Here to Download & Subscribe to our PonderCast: “Those People”

Transcript of today’s PonderCast is here as well:

“Those People”

Dear Salvation Army,
Dear Salvationist,
I would like to take a moment and talk to you about what this Ministry of the Salvation Army is and isn’t – at least from my experience.

The Salvation Army is more than just a church first and foremost.
Our ministry takes giving within the context of ministry a step further than most churches do.
I’m not saying we are better than other churches, I’m just saying that our scope of the Great Commission has more of an aggressive tone than other churches. We claim the old motto “Soup Soap & Salvation” and we attempt to live it out in our ministry.

The very fiber of our being, of who The Salvation is can be wrapped up in that phrase of William Booth – when He said, “Others”.

The funny is we still live in a very divided world – even amongst Christians and Church.
We even have this division in our corps sometimes.
We can become so comfortable in our services and in how things operate but when new families start coming we get a little nervous and sometimes even upset.

It’s like when the disciples and others watched Jesus go to Zecheus’ house – there were some who complained because Zecheus was a tax collector and he was reviled by people. Why would Jesus go to that person’s house. Why would he go see “those people”

Another of “those people” that Jesus visited was the Samaritan woman at the well. Even his disciples kind of shook their heads at this encounter. Why would Jesus go to “those people”? And besides that a man, let alone a Rabbi wouldn’t be caught dead talking with a woman – and a Samaritan woman at that.

But you see Jesus came for the least of these, those who were searching.
He didn’t care where they came from or where they had been…you see “those people – were His people!”

And sometimes in our corps – when we get too comfortable and suddenly “those people” show up, it sort of disrupts our flow…It upsets the apple cart…and we have to wonder sometimes, even in our uniforms if we haven’t become that clique –that exclusive social gather fighting for a cause so everyone can see us and pat us on the back…and when genuine spiritual need comes to our corps building – do we shun it? Or welcome it? Do visitors to our corps buildings feel like “guests” or do they feel like outsiders…because the ones in uniform are giving them sideways glances, shaking their heads at the unchurched, unfamiliar new comers…

Ah Salvationists…Dear Salvation Army – “Those People” are our people too!
The drunk that smells like the fumes around his body might spontaneously combust at any moment and he is shaking so bad that it’s visibly noticible in the seat next to you. Yeah, Jesus says “that’s my people too”.

That older lady who come occasionally just to see what she can take with her after the service – She’s one of “those people” and Jesus says that “She’s one of His people”. That young scary looking young man who wanders into your service half way through who smells and is wearing a questionable tshirt with offense material on it – “We look at him and think THOSE PEOPLE” AND Jesus says “He’s one of my people.”

Salvationist –
Our halls are emergency rooms for the spiritually afflicted.
And we are all “those people”…we all came searching for hope and love and acceptance.
We do not look like other churches because the least of these are our regulars. It is a shame when we try to become like other ministries and churches when our calling as an Army is has a specific target and ministry already.

We don’t look like other churches because the Salvation Army shield is like a beacon of hope, a lighthouse to many of “those people” who have lost their way. It is a safe-harbor for many to come. It should be a place where “those people” don’t feel as if we’re looking down at them – because we have all been there.

Where other places have turned “those people” away – we must accept them, welcome them offer them love and hope and in turn – eventually show them what Christ’s transforming power looks like.

Dear Salvationist, 5 Resources To Help You Become A Better Soldier

There are certainly more than five resources, but I wanted to just name five today to get us all started. Our desire to be better soldiers isn’t to please the Army, of course if we are serving God in the capacity of this army, we will find success and purpose. Our desire should be first to seek after Him, then what we do in uniform will be holy and pleasing to Him.

Caution, Name-dropping zone ahead…

1. Salvation Army Publications 7 Magazines…
Your corps should have a subscription to various publications that are created and maintained by editors and writers within The Salvation Army. Publications like The War Cry, Young Salvationist, Word & Deed, just to name a few. Many of these contain encouraging articles from others in the faith, while publications like Word & Deed focus primarily on spiritual application and is often slightly deeper than most other articles out there. There are many more of these Salvation Army publications world wide, and these can vary from territory to territory and country to country.

2. Salvation Army Books & Theologians:
Many of the writings of Samuel Logan Brengle on the topic of Holiness come to mind. They are widely read and can help with our spiritual development as soldiers of Christ! Here is a recent publication from Bob Hostetler who has organized the writings of Brengle entitled – “Brengle Helps” But don’t stop there, check out the writings of George Scott Railton as well. There are a number of great Salvation Army book publications out now and it is continuing to grow! Here are a few other notable books available: (And many, many more!)

3. Salvation Army Bloggers & Writers:
I believe the literary sphere is swiftly changing in regards to how fellow Christians read and receive written material. The Salvation Army bloggosphere is growing, with more and more very talented writers adding their own flavor of writing almost weekly! I would like to consider Pastorsponderings.org as one of those, and here are other bloggers to take note of if you haven’t already: Stephen Court’s Armybarmy, Pete Brookshaw, Clive Adams, Jim Knaggs, Steve Simms, Ruth Sullen & Deb Thompson…just to name a few. I will undoubtedly get myself into trouble here for not mentioning others, and some I’ve forgotten. I am sure you can also recommend other Salvationist bloggers out there as well -please leave those links in the comments below and help us compile a longer list! Many of these bloggers stretch our understanding of spiritualism and this Christians faith journey that we’re all on.

4. Discipleship & Small Group:
If I were to rank many of these, discipleship would be at the top of the list in regards to the most important resource a soldier needs! Unfortunately (as far as I know) the printed material exclusively from The Salvation Army on the topic of discipleship is limited. Dr Charles Lake’s Discipleship training material comes to mind, the Youth Discipleship Program, Metro Youth’s “Bold” Corps Cadets courses. Other suggested sources (non-army, but highly applicable) “Discipleshift” “Real-life Discipleship Training” Books by Henri Nowen The need for discipleship in our army is paramount! We need more than book smarts and head knowledge though, we need application and tangible mentoring and shepherding in our corps!

5. Sights & Sounds!
Another vast resource that we have at our disposal today is social media!
Corps from around the world are adding audio and video content either prerecorded or live streaming! With new technology and applications such as Facebook Live, Periscope and others, we are now able communicate at a faster, more reliable rate! Some soldiers are offering worship songs for downloadable play in your corps, while others are providing bible study tools online for anyone to access anywhere in the world. These resources will become more fluid and easier to find as we organize these and make them more readily available!
Examples:
Centre for Spiritual Life Development
SA Dropbox
SAVN.TV
IHQ Webcasts
Central Territory USA Media (Visual Communications)

These are just a few links to check out, there are many, many more, and I would love for you to share your favorite Salvation Army links and media sites! Do you have a podcast, sermon live stream, periscope account – share it here with us on our comment section and we will include this in an continuing Resource segment!

These are just five resources to help us become better, stronger, godly soldiers for Christ in this Army of Salvation. Tell us what you think, share, comment and subscribe for more resources to come!

Something more for our Army world to ponder today!

Dear Salvation Army, 4 Proven Ways To Evangelize

Dear Salvationist,
How does evangelism work?
Does the word “Evangelism” turn you off?
Does that word evoke in you some sort of imagery of phoniness and deceptive means to introduce people to Christ?
Is there a proven method to reaching people?
Is that what we’re called to do – to “reach people”?
What does “Evangelism” look like in our world today?
Obviously it differs from culture to culture.

You’ve seen them before in your neighborhood.
Is it dishonest to NOT answer the door when the Jehovah’s Witness knocks on it?
You keep telling yourself to be polite, yet you’re still in your pajamas and your hair is a mess, you can’t help but feel embarrassed and that your personal space is being invaded.

Have you been here before?
Most of us have.

Is this the proper way to evangelize?
Is there really a blueprint to evangelism?
Do you have to rehearse cue cards and scripture passages, until you’re polished and prepared to really “sell it”? Is that what evangelism is – selling a product, selling Jesus?
I don’t think so.

There’s something harsh these days about cold calling and neighborhood canvasing.
Don’t get me wrong, perhaps in some ways it can be successful…I’ve just never seem much evidence to that fact, instead quite the opposite. People are put off by it. Most want to have nothing to do with what “you’re selling”. I’m not proposing we stop evangelize, I just think that perhaps we’re going about it all wrong.

Dear Salvation Army, Here are 4 Proven Ways To Evangelize:

1. True Evangelism Happens Organically.
Genuine evangelism happens naturally and because the sweet aroma of Christ is evident in our compassion for others. This isn’t a forced, “cold-call” or a cue card session. This is Christ being seen in us, spontaneous and real – no pretenses, no ulterior motivations, just a Christ-follower wanted others to experience the free of grace and love.

2. Relationship Building
True evangelism and even discipleship takes place when we care more about the person than we do a “pew-filling”. Relationship building costs more in us, perhaps that’s why people are less inclined to invest in relationships than they are in the door knocking type of evangelism. When we intentionally seek out people, befriending them, caring about them, showing up for them – we will see a deeper type of compassion and love in us. We will want to fully commit to sharing Christ. We will take the time to be the very reflection of Christ. Relationship building, to me, carries the most authenticity when it comes to evangelizing to people around us.

3. Coffee Shop/Bar Gimmicks
Pastor Offers “Free Prayer”…
I cringe at the word “Gimmick” but it means more than just phony pretenses and cold

free1 — Isn’t all prayer “Free”? Who’s paying for prayer?

approaches. If we have this desire to win souls, and we are brave, we can put ourselves “out there”. This won’t drive the masses to your corps (church), but this is a different type of statistic – one that carries compassion to the need. Set up shop in a cafe’. Place a card that says “free prayer” or something like that. Go to the local Bar (gasp) and sip a coke-cola while you offer yourself to meeting people with Christ on your mind and heart. (** I would caution you, with the latter approach, that if you have or had a drinking problem – I would advise against going to the bar and sitting. The temptation might be all to real for you.**) There is something about getting into the community and being a beacon of hope where perhaps someone is searching for a voice of encouragement and care.

4. Finding YOUR Groove!

Don’t be someone you’re not. Don’t be fake. Don’t put on a show – Jesus isn’t a show, or a facade, and I wonder sometimes how God-honoring some of these evangelistic methods truly are. Does God need us to sell Him to the masses? Is that what we do? Is that in the job description? I mean, sure, we need to be intentional, we need to care about others, but do we have to go door to door? Do we have to pass out tracts at a sporting event? – No. I think that REAL evangelism looks nothing like that – I think it can present itself as hateful instead…and people are so turned off by it, that no one pays attention to it.
I believe God has given all of us unique gifts and abilities – perhaps within those gifts and abilities lies this sweet-spot. It’s our groove. It’s the place where we thrive and where God thrives with us. Perhaps, it is in this groove that our true abilities to evangelize really takes wings. Within our groove we find balance and commonality with others. Within our groove God brings people to us through the path that we’re on. Within our groove true passion and genuine love is evident.

So what’s your groove?
Where has God led you?
How has He used you to bring others to Him?
What are your proven means to evangelism – not cold-calls and passing out tracts, but real, tangible relationship building, loving, caring compassionate, authentic evangelism?

Dear Salvation Army…what is your groove?
Dear Salvationist – Where is God leading you?
Who is He leading you to?

5 Questions For All Christians To Ponder

These are some basic Questions that we as Christ-followers ought to ponder…also, I would really love to hear your answers! This is a safe place to ask and answer Please comment below or on this social media feed…let’s dialogue together!

“Quietly trust yourself to Christ your Lord, and if anybody asks why you believe as you do, be ready to tell him, and do it in a gentle and respectful way.” (1 Peter 3:15 The Living Bible)

1) What is Salvation & Stuff?

What does it mean to you?
How do you receive it?
Can you keep it – what does maintaining that salvation look like?

2) How do biblical texts apply to modern society today?
Do they still apply?
How do I know which ones still apply?
How to I pick and choose these?

3) Why does it appear that God is morbidly violent in the Old Testament, yet Jesus seems to be a pacifist in the New Testament?
How do we reconcile the two if God and Christ are both a part of the Holy Trinity?
How to we reconcile deaths of children in the old testament when Jesus says “suffer the little children to come unto me” in the new testament?
What has changed from the old to the new?

4) How does free will affect my faith?
If God preordained all things, where does that leave us?
Does this mean I actually have free will or is it a selective type of free will?
If I have this free choice/free will does that mean God doesn’t know what I will choose?

5) Why do you believe?
Is it because of your family or parents?
Is it because of your personal experiences in life?
How do you quantify your faith to those around you?
What makes your faith in Christ better or more tangible than other religions or faiths?

I look forward to your personal ponderings on these questions…
There is no dumb or wrong answers here…This is a safe place to question, to search and to help one another along this faith journey! So please, don’t hold back…let’s talk about it!

Dear Salvationist -Making War and Swaying With Booth!

“We are sent to war. We are not sent to minister to a congregation and be content if we keep things going. We are sent to make war…and to stop short of nothing but the subjugation of the world to the sway of the Lord Jesus” (William Booth)

Dear Salvationists, allow me but a few minutes to ponder and dissect this quote by our Founder:

I understand this quote…I really do.
In some ways it resonates with me.
I know that within our world there is a spiritual war that wages on for the souls of men, women and children.
I also have the understanding that for forces of darkness (Satan, demons, sin & death) are not (nor will they ever be) equal to the force of Light who is God – the Creator and sustainer of all life.

I agree with this quote…and yet I have trouble with it.
I agree that we are to engage in a spiritual war as soldiers – not of just an army formed by men and women from the 1860’s, but as an army called by God. We face opposition almost daily, and even when we wear the uniform (or because of it), we encounter resistance and even contempt. The spiritual war, which is unseen, is real…it is evident. This war has claimed millions of souls, and it will not cease simply by ignoring it.
I agree we are to wage this war.
I agree we fight for more than “good works”.
I agree that this army of salvation is here for more than just Sunday church services.
We are more than just a congregation.

“…We are not sent to minister to a congregation and be content if we keep things going…”

However, I wonder if this type language is insulting to churches around the world today?
I understand the context and time that this was written in. I’m not bashing the Founder, or disagreeing with our mission. I just wonder if these words apply more for the time in which General Booth lived than it does today? There was a certain segregation in the industrial age from the working class, the aristocrats, the poor. Even among the churches, in that era, the marginalized and poor were not being reached. Does this still happen today? Was this about bashing the contemporary church of Booth’s day or about rallying Salvationists into action? I believe it was the latter. I believe William & Catherine intentionally set out to do what needed to be done in their day and their mission and purpose certainly went beyond the perimeters of “Church”.

(Coincidentally, I wrote about this very topic last week entitled “Are we ‘Doing’ Church All Wrong?” and you can read more about that pondering by clicking that hyperlink. )

I wonder if we, as an Army are STILL fully committed to this war?
I wonder if we’ve become lacks in some ways.
Is there still a fire in our hearts?
Are we still willing to wage to the very gates of hell for the lost and hurting?
Sometimes within the Church we (all of Christians) are so horrified when a drunkard walks into our sanctuaries…or someone who smells…or someone who is a criminal…or someone of ill-repute…yet, isn’t that what we the “Church” should be all about? It should never be about the disruption and the order of our services…after all, I believe even the Holy Spirit disrupts our services from time to time because He has something to share that our “order of service” didn’t squeeze in.

We are pretty good at dressing up our buildings. We make them look inviting. We spending millions of dollars on new edifices with beautiful plaques of dedication on them…but these places are still only buildings. They ought to invite everyone in. They ought to serve the purpose of saving souls…but that shouldn’t be all that we are..all that we do. We should never be static and firmly planted in just our buildings…we should be an Army on the move – working in our communities…going to the poor, the lost, the marginalized, those without hope…instead of waiting for them to come to us, which they never will.

“…and to stop short of nothing but the subjugation of the world to the sway of the Lord Jesus“
I know, dear Salvationist, that we are Christ’s hands and feet in our world, but does that mean that He needs our help to “subjugate” the world to the sway of Jesus? I know what Booth means here, but I have trouble with the language. I recognize our responsibilities and being Saved to Save, or Saved to Serve, but we also recognize that without the power of the Holy Spirit – nothing is possible. We are without power…and though we might claim certain victories in our own strength, we are never more powerful than when we call upon His presence to guide and to provide.

The world within the “sway” of the Lord – is the Lords work to be done – not ours.
We, in my opinion, are called to obedience, and in that obedience we become pliable to God’s workings and will. It is a power surrogacy or sorts. We stop talking about our war plans, and our building plans, and our fund raising goals, and we listen to God’s battle plan and His redemptive power will surge through us so that the “sway of the world” has, and always will be His to command.

I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.…(John 17:15-17)

Something more for our Army world to ponder today.
To God be the glory!
