Wow - a Salvation Army Forum - cool !!!:D

I was raised in the Salvation Army and became a junior soldier in the early 70's (do they still have that ??) - all my mom's side is SA. Even have a cousin who was an officer way back when. My granny had a SA funeral "Promoted to Glory" (i love that) :thumbsup:

I'm grateful for the influence the Army had in my formative years. It was there i learned the importance of being a servant, not only of the Master but of those around us as unto Christ. I have many, many fond memories - my gosh, i was so involved in everything the Army had to offer - the band, Scouts, various youth programs, camping, etc. I think i was involved 4 nights out of the week and on Sunday's for services.:clap:

That being said, i hope and PRAY the Army keeps it's focus primarily on Jesus and the His Gospel and it's social outreach secondarily.;)

Hi everyone! :wave: :hug: Hope y'all doin' fine? :D

It's so cool to read these 'things' which are Salvation Army related! It just brings back all those memories and the pride I had in being a Salvationist!

___________________________________________________________

Wow, most of you all are either British or Australian! Are there still many Salvationists in Great Britain?

____________________________________________________________

I love tea! Actually, I drink lots of it, with milk (like the British) or without. It depends on the type of tea!

____________________________________________________________

It'd be cool to see your pictures. Especially of you in your uniform, if you have one. ;) (I'm willing to share a few of when I was a uniformed Salvationist, hehe. I'm game! Anyone else is game?)
____________________________________________________________

God bless you all!

Right, lets get you sorted out. First of all the illness. If you've got a Netto near you, they have a bronchial balsam medicine. It only costs about 85p. Cured me in 2 days. Good Stuff!!


OK. Sunday morning. Who says it's rambling rubbish? You? Or God?

Are you leading the meeting, or is God leading the meeting through you? If it's the first one, then you are onto a loser no matter how good you think it sounds. If it's the second one, then why not just trust God to do what He is good at? What you think is rambling rubbish, could well be exactly what someone needs to hear in that meeting, and indeed forms the backbone of Gods plan.

So, 3 bits of advice.

Enjoy the hob nobs
Get the medicine
Trust God (He knows what He's doing);)

O yes, get an early night. Do you the world of good.

God Bless.


Yes Sir!!!!!!!;) I slept very well.

I've got today to sort it all out. The family have a new Gamecube game with lots of shooting, so they probably wont emerge from the lounge until lunchtime. Stinking head ache this morning. Just about to make a cup of tea. I'll put a cosy on the pot if anyone else wants one.

Lets all sing: SASB 821!

We're an Army fighting for a glorious King!
We will make the world with Hallelujahs ring;
With victorious voices we will ever sing:
There's salvation for the world.

For the world, for the world, Jesus died, Jesus died,
For the world, for the world, there is room at Jesus' side.
All the world to save, to battle we will go,
And we ever will our colours boldly show,
With a trumpet voice we'll let the millions know
There's salvation for the world.

We're an Army brave, arrayed in armour bright;
We will turn the world from darkness into light;
As we march along we'll shout with all our might:
There's salvation for the world.

For the world, for the world, Jesus dies, Jesus died,
For the world, for the world, there is room at Jesus' side.
All the world to save, to battle we will go,
And we ever will our colours boldly show,
With a trumpet voice we'll let the millions know
There's salvation for the world.

We're an Army saved, by blood and fire made strong;
And with righteousness we mean to conquer wrong;
This shall be our universal battle song:
There's salvation for the world.

For the world, for the world, Jesus dies, Jesus died,
For the world, for the world, there is room at Jesus' side.
All the world to save, to battle we will go,
And we ever will our colours boldly show,
With a trumpet voice we'll let the millions know
There's salvation for the world.


Prayer time:

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom comes
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us,
And lead us not into temptation, but deliever us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen.


Bible reading: Matthew 25:31-40

MT 25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
MT 25:34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

MT 25:37 "Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

MT 25:40 "The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

The message:

Let get out there and feed Jesus, give Jesus a drink, visit Jesus and clothe Jesus. Not by in our own strength, but by His spirit,

Final Song: SASB 512

My life must be Christ's broken bread,
My love his outpoured wine
A cup o'erfilled, a table spread
Beneath his name and sign,
That other souls, refreshed and fed,
MAy share his life through mine.

My all is in my Master's hands
For him to bless and break;
Beyond the brook his winepress stands
And thence my way to take,
Resolved the whole of love's demands
To give, for his dear sake.

Lord let me share that grace of thine
Wherewith thou didst sustain
The burden of the fruitful vine,
The gift of buried grain.
Who dies with thee, O word divine,
Shall rise again with thee.

A blessing: Sasb 955

Jesus so dear to us
Jesus, be near to us
Jesus give ear to us
Each as we pray;
Jesus, whate'er betide,
Jesus, be friend and guide,
Jesus, be by our side
Now and for aye.
