This morning we had a class led by General Eva Burrows(rtd). Let me tell you, that woman is super wise and so funny! She was cracking jokes left right a centre(much of what was geared towards the americans!).
There were so many good points made that I could spend much time blogging about, but here's are just a few quotes that I found of interest and thought you might too!
"Every soldier is an evangelist." Hmmm....can you tell them that please, general?
"We are a movement with a message, and the message is more important than the movement." Arnold Brown
"Let the Army be the Army!" General Eva Burrows(rtd) Amen, sister!
I also learned about the 3 dangers that William Booth challeneged Salvationists about in 1881:
Stagnation(standing still), Secularisation(being in the world), and Self-conceit(pride). I have seen all of these in the Army of my life. It needs to change. Time to "let the Army be the Army!"
