isalvos

a Biblical thought...
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

a Book thought...
That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another. (p34)
a Dave thought...
On Tuesday evening at 9pm history was made as the first on-line corps was opened @ www.isalvos.com. Envoy Grant Whitehead is the brains trust behind this innovative idea that has been setup to engage Salvos and others across the globe. isalvos runs a weekly service at Tuesday 9pm EST that involves worship and preaching. If you miss this time slot you can still view the service at a later time but you would miss out on the opportunity to interact with others via the live online chat. The sermon this week was from ACC 2004 when we had Dr Tony Campolo as a guest, and Phil Laeger lead us in worship. There is no doubt in these days that you need to be able to go to church online and for so many from invalids to single mums or those that are put off by the standard church environment, this is a fabulous way to engage with God and with others. I encourage you to check out www.isalvos.com where you can become a Facebook fan and also a member of the site so you can log in every week and chat with others. I'm sure William Booth would have been all over this as he did say 'If I thought I could win one more soul to the Lord by walking on my head and playing the tambourine with my toes, I'd learn how!'

Just a thought.
