Candidates weekend

Just got back from candidates weekend. A weekend for those thinking about becoming a Salvation Army Officer.

I went thiking I had it all sorted out, when I was going in, what Id do until then etc. But God has other ideas. He has His own plan and its different to mine! It looks alot more exciting, challenging, action packed! hahaha Im a bit confused, but Im trusting in Jesus! I'll go and do whatever He tells me!

The theme of the weekend, "Give up your small ambitions and come change the world!" The arrogant statement based on MArk 8:34-35. It is arrogant but how can you read the Bible and not be arrogant about the life changing victorious God we serve? God wants all to be saved. He wants all to know His love.

So, what are you doing with your life? What passions do you have? What skills and gifts do you have? Where would be the BEST (not just the ok) place to use them? Where would you be MOST effective?

Consider SALVATION ARMY OFFICERSHIP! You get paid to LOVE GOD AND LOVE OTHERS! Too good to be true? No! Its a blessing! Step out in faith and declare it yours today!

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. Mark 8:34-35
