THE WAY OF SALVATION

I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Saviour from a young age, but throughout my childhood, teenage years, and even into college, I found myself asking Jesus for salvation several times just to be sure. I have heard of many others doing the same. For me, it was not because I had a fear of hell, doubts about Jesus, or the belief that I had backslidden. Instead, I asked Jesus to save me repeatedly because I felt I needed more of Jesus in my life.

ANTICIPATING THE CLASS AHEAD

INTRODUCTORY NOTE: Over the last two years, I have been taking courses through Wesley Seminary in pursuit of a Master of Divinity degree. Though my blogging on this website has been stagnant since the start of the programme, I will be posting a series of reflections over the coming weeks. These posts are part of the coursework for the class Soteriology for Christian Formation, but they will also be a way for you, the reader, to peek into some of my reflections throughout the course.

LONDON IS CALLING

Nearly eight years ago, when I stood on a stage in front of a crowd to receive my first appointment as a Salvation Army officer, I had no idea where that journey would take me. That moment was the start of an adventure in ministry. In just eight years since then, I’ve led a small corps in rural Indiana for three years, served in team ministry at a multicultural corps in Minneapolis for two years, and taught the next sessions of Salvation Army officers at the College for Officer Training (CFOT) in two appointments spanning three years total.
