Wholly Holy

Havent blogged for a few days! Had lots of thoughts though. Heres a couple!

Just a passing thought but have we as an Army left our apostles in places for too long, not building up replacements, then not left pastors in places long enough?

Heres my thinking, our apostles (that i see at the moment) tend to stay in a place for a while then their ministry almost becomes stagnant. The corps/outpost etc stops growing rapidly. Is the reason for that because they are called to start something up, but then they fail to hand over to a good pastor who can then take it further?

Then on the flip side, do we give our pastors enough time to do their thing? And do they have the accountability that if they're doing no good we find something else for them to do or relieve them of their duties? (William Booth use to do that...) just some thoughts...

Doncaster shopping town (big mall) is getting a massive facelift. Theyve decided to put in a whole lot more shops. Someone told me they were spending a billion dollars on it. (dont know how true that is) But Ive learnt something from it.

They already had a good business. But to make it better they had to close alot of shops. They then had to pull down a bunch of shops and car parks. Then they started renovations, then they started completely new things. Then eventually it will be ALOT bigger and better than it was before.

Surely this is what we need to do as The Salvation Army?

Hers some AFL for you. There are a bunch of coaches teams that are under performing. Coaches that havent done their job properally/successfully. The team then reviews whats happening then decides whether it is the coaches fault, whether the coach is heading in the right direction, and whether there are others who could do better. Then they fire or rehire.

Think about that.
