It is hard to believe that it has been almost two years since I made the decision to respond to God’s call on my life to become a Salvation Army Officer. And if you’ve read my bio on this website you’ll know that one of the greatest challenges I faced in making that decision was [...]

According to our poll 1/2 of you believe in “early to bed…early to rise”. The other half of you would rather watch Conan than Jay. If you watched Conan’s departure from NBC the other night, a company he has been with for over 20 years, then you heard probably the most gracious farewell ever on [...]

Well, there is certainly no lack of material when it comes to Tiger Woods and his apparent indiscretions. Entertainment shows provide fodder for water cooler discussions, and often target Woods as the brunt of their monologue jokes. What about you? How long will it be before you forgive Tiger or is he done in your [...]

With my first semester at training college completed, all I can say is wow. It has been a whirlwind, and I’ve stopped to catch my breath only to start all over again with studies and more training. Even though the thought of a new semester of studies and field work can seem overwhelming, I can [...]

David Holliday offers this comment on our previous posting on drinking…To read the original comments click here… Thanks for taking the time to weigh in on our site. I think that we all agree that it is dangerous to drink and drive because it compromises our judgement. If drinking comprises our driving isn’t drinking going [...]

As an only child, my understanding of family has always been, well, small. With my Mom’s family in Germany and my Dad’s family out West, family always meant just me and my parents. I am at Weetamah for my practical field placement this year, and one of the ministries that I am involved with is [...]

Saeng yon Lee writes… Last Christmas season was quite different from past years. I enjoyed time with the Christmas kettle and packing and delivering hampers, and Christmas hampers were quite new to me. I could see how the Salvation Army works in local community. For this Christmas, I had a special experience. It was about [...]

Well, it looks like Santa was busy with the Salvo crowd as the Nice list beat out the naughty list 2 to 1. Here’s a chance to change your list location by resolving to change. Did you make a New Years Resolution? Take our poll and let us know.
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9
If you are not disciplined
(and everyone undergoes discipline),
then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers
who disciplined us
and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit
to the Father of our spirits and live!
Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29
“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”
Living Scripture - Daniel 6:10
Now when Daniel learned
that the decree had been published,
he went home to his upstairs room
where the windows opened toward Jerusalem.
Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed,
giving thanks to his God,
just as he had done before.
This Easter CFOT Cadets and Officers had the privilege of participating in a variety of Easter activities and services at Corps in Alberta.
Small goups of Cadets/Officers participated in all aspects of the Easter Services and were also able to spend some valuable time with youth groups. In Calgary tradition, some of our CFOT folks were “white hatted” (see photos below). A wonderful time of worship, outreach and fellowship was had by all.
A big thank you to the Alberta Divsion for hosting us! You have been so gracious to us in sharing your ministries, your homes and your hearts with us…
