a Biblical thought...
Peter fairly exploded with his good news: "It's God's own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you're from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The Message he sent to the children of Israel—that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again—well, he's doing it everywhere, among everyone. (Acts 10:34-36)
a Book thought...
This is the difference between Jesus, who accepted the prostitute's devotion, and Simon who was reviled by it. The Pharisee desperately needed a reframe. He needed another way of seeing things. The great reframer did just that and in no uncertain terms. (p78 Frost)
a Dave thought...
Yesterday as we concluded our Territorial Youth Workers Gathering we dreamed about the future and we started planning our next gathering in January with many youth from around the territory. Our DYs and youth workers committed to bringing 843 youth from all our divisions to our event which is to be called INSANE!
As we don't want to run just another conference we are beginning to pray and plan what an interactive missional event may look like with so many young people. A distinctly Salvo event where there are opportunities to have fun playing competitive sport, or computer games, but also places to talk about Jesus and other opportunities to even feed the hungry.

Well it may sound like a big ask but we believe we can pull off this INSANE event in January 12-18 at Melbourne High School. So lock it in and either plan to be there or otherwise pray that we God helps us get it right
Just a thought.
