Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

  • A Vision of Heaven
    A VISION OF HEAVEN This vision is attributed to William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. He had several visions that were significant in shaping his life and ministry. While all visions must be evaluated and tested by the Scriptures, we feel that this condensed account of his vision could also bring a significant impact to your own life. I felt as though I was in a dream. I knew I was ill – dangerously ill – because a relative insisted on my being told my real condition. And yet I was not disturbed about the fact. I thought I would recover. Most people do, I suppose, until the hand of death is upon them. And if I did not recover, I thought I had no reason to be terribly concerned, because I was a Christian. Hadn’t I been converted? Didn’t I believe the Bible? Why should I fear? But even so, disturbing thoughts crossed my mind about whether I had truly followed Jesus Christ. Had I done my duty to a perishing world with my time, influence, and money? These questions were very difficult for me to answer. Yet it was all in a dreamy way because of the burning fever that was numbing my brain. Meanwhile a strange faintness seized me. I lost consciousness. My next awareness was altogether beyond description. It was the thrill of a new and celestial existence. I was in heaven. After the first feeling of surprise had lessened, I looked around me. It was delightful way beyond anything on earth. And yet some of the more beautiful scenes and sounds and feelings of the world I had just left appeared to be repeated in my new experience, although in more wonderful ways.

  • Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army
    Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Steven E.S. Bussey Abstract While philosophies of innovation shun the past as cumbersome and archaic, history provides a map from which to rediscover ideas and avoid inefficient reinventions. This paper illustrates the value of history by exploring how the founders of The Salvation Army applied design thinking principles to tackle the wicked problem of bringing the gospel to East London in the nineteenth century. Catherine and William Booth’s personalities combined analytical mastery and intuitive originality to craft elegant solutions for this challenge. Utilizing Roger Martin’s Knowledge Funnel, the paper explores the organizational journey of this movement from mystery to heuristic to algorithm. The lessons gleaned from small experiments in East London were vital in refining the strategies to scale the mission worldwide. The Booths designed an organization that was both efficient and agile with constant reinvention built into its structure. Journal of Transformational Innovation, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, Fall 2018, pp. 1-11 © 2018 Regent University School of Business & Leadership Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army The Past: Friend or Foe of Innovation? The word “innovation” is often associated with the breaking free from the shackles of tradition to embrace something new and disruptive. In Leading the Revolution, Gary Hamel suggests that “we have developed the capacity to interrupt history - to escape the linear extrapolation of what was. Our heritage is no longer our destiny.” Placing the old guard against the vanguard and incumbency against imagination, this philosophy of innovation tends to be the dominant perspective.

  • Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals
    EVANGELICAL REVIVALS IN NEW ZEALAND -----//----- A History of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals. -----//----- by Robert Evans and Roy McKenzie. -----//----- Published by the Authors, in conjunction with ColCom Press. PREFACE Many years of experience in the Lord's work, and the relative ease of retirement from parish responsibilities, have provided both of us with the time to carry out a work of love in presenting to the public this history of evangelical revivals in New Zealand. It is an aspect of the work of God which we believe is of enormous importance, both for church and for society, but which has been widely neglected for many years. The research for this book has relied, in the first instance, upon our privately-owned library resources. The main public libraries to which we are indebted are the New South Wales Uniting Church Archives Library and the Camden Library of the United Theological College, both in North Parramatta, the Hewitson Library of the Knox Theological Hall in Dunedin, the John Deane Memorial Library of the Bible College of New Zealand in Auckland (formerly The New Zealand Bible Training Institute), the Moore College Library (Anglican) in Sydney, and the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. We also acknowledge the help of Miss Ferne Weimer, Director of the Billy Graham Center Library, in Wheaton, Illinois. We have also been indebted to many individuals. Chief amongst these have been the Rev. Dr. J. Graham Miller, now living in Wangaratta, Victoria, Dr. Brett Knowles of Dunedin, and the Rev. John Thomson, now living in Nelson.

  • Salvation Army Why Don't the Salvos Have Baptism?
    Salvation Army Quotes copied & pasted from: http://www.salvationarmy.org.au/about-us_65047/faqs/questions- about-our-faith.html?s=2026750641#baptism Why don’t the Salvos have baptism? To the vast majority of people, baptism is regarded as a distinctly Christian ritual. So it may seem odd to some and puzzling to others as to why it is not observed within The Salvation Army. The Army has several distinctives that make it different to other denominations—its uniform, terminology and symbols to name a few. In respect to spirituality, the Army is fundamentally simple and uncluttered compared to some other churches. In its early days, baptism was part of Salvation Army practice, but a decision was made that saw the discontinuation of any form of ritual that could be interpreted as a substitute for daily faith and dependence upon God. Salvationists see such rituals as outward signs of an inward experience, and it is the inward experience that is of greatest importance to God. The decision to discontinue baptism resulted from the question: Is baptism essential to a person becoming ‘saved’ or for one to continue in a relationship with God? Based upon the Bible, the answer was clearly ‘no’, baptism is not regarded as essential to salvation or continued faith. While some might accuse the Army of being disobedient to what the Bible teaches regarding baptism, it was and continues to be a way whereby people witness to their new found faith and conversion. New believers within The Salvation Army testify publicly in worship and tell their story of conversion.
