Are we an army of Salvation

THE SALVATION ARMY!!!



I was thinking today about the Salvation army, i was thinking about the name and the significance that the name holds, 'the SALVATION army' wow what a powerfull name, i love the word salvation, it is a word of promise, hope, security, joy and its the name our church.

Are we being a Salvation army though? That is a interesting thought, to me a salvation army is actually a group of passionate people seeing souls saved! For to be known as a salvation army isnt it key to see salvations?

Is it then false avertising to be called a Salvation army when our corps havent seen a soul saved for decades? I would tend to think so. For without salvation we are just a empty army, perhaps it would be more accurate to call ourselves a stale army, or a sleeping army.

For what right to we have to stand under the banner of Salvation if we are not living up to the call. It is a dangerous thing to do, will Christ say on judgement day "you chose to affiliate yourself with the Salvation army yet you refused to bring your friends to me"

If our army is a army of Salvation then shouldn't our soldiers be doing 'the work of a Evangelist' as seen in 2 timothy 4:5, as soon as we choose to fellowship at a Salvation army we should then take up the role of Evangelist and bring the gospel to the world so that we may see Salvations. we don't need 2 have the gift of evangelism to share the gospel. As some may think.

It is true to say however that there are corps that are growing and seeing salvations and that is awesome, they are corps that can call themselves a Salvation army, for they are truely being one.

Hope is not lost though, for just like the bones that needed life spoken into them, so shall our army see life once again, It is up to us as Salvationists and Christians as a whole to see Salvations in our community! Wouldn't it be great to see schools saved, communitys saved and even this nation saved, it all starts with one soul.

Dont miss out on the Joy that sharing the gospel brings,

See this nation saved!!!

BE A ARMY THAT WILL SEE SALVATION
