“The word of God is definitely above culture, in terms of what or who should have authority in our lives. However, we must remember that we are within culture, and our calling in Christ is to play our part in the redemption and transformation of individuals and cultures. I believe the recent history of the religious subculture teaches all too clearly that unless we are moving forward in seeking the genuine transformation of culture, then we are standing still and it is transforming us.” ShouldBelieveStillsPlayRememberMovingCultureIndividualI BelieveTermChristReligiousChristianityTeachOur LivesCallingAuthorityStandingShould HaveTransformationSeekingGenuineMoving ForwardRedemptionWord Of GodTransformingStanding StillSubculture Author:Steve Scott

“I will tell you the secret: God has had all that there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, even with greater opportunities, but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with me and them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.” IfsMenShouldMindHeartHas BeensMadeOpportunityJesusChristPoorSecretBrainVisionGreaterInfluenceMy HeartJesus ChristShould HaveArmySalvationCaughtLondonAdorationSalvation Army Author:William Booth

“A friend ... said, "You were healed by faith." "Oh, no," I said, "I was healed by Christ." What is the difference? There is a great difference. There came a time when even faith seemed to come between me and Jesus. I thought I should have to work up the faith, so I laboured to get the faith. At last I thought I had it; that if I put my whole weight upon it, it would hold. I said, when I thought I had got the faith, "Heal me." I was trusting in myself, in my own heart, in my own faith. I was asking the Lord to do something for me because of something in me, not because of something in Him.” IfsShouldHeartSaidWholeLastsJesusChristDifferencesMy OwnLordShould HaveWeightAskingHealHealed Author:A.
