A new translation of the Bible

William Booth commenting a new translation of the Bible:

If the Revision throws any new light upon the precious volume – the Book of Books – I shall accept it gratefully. Meanwhile…I want to see a new translation of the Bible into the hearts and conduct of living men and women…It is no use making correct translations of words if we cannot get the words translated into life.

Early Sunday morning in Riga, January 29 - 04:09

Winter came at last to Riga. We have had a couple of days with minus ten degrees.

It has been an intensive week. It started with a two day gathering for all Officers and other leaders in Latvia. It was the third time we started the year with two Leader´s Days in Skangale. We looked back what happened during 2011 and looked forward to what will happen during 2012.

Here are more pictures from the Leader´s Days in Skangale

The first day after Skangale we received the first truck with humanitarian aid to our new Storage in Riga. It came from the Salvation Army in Lidköping, Sweden, and they sent 19 ton of clothes and other things.

 Here are more pictures from our storage in Riga

The work week ended with two days of teaching at the School for Officers Training with the first year cadets.

 


Now it is Sunday morning and in a few hours we will go down to Iecava for a soldiers enrolment. Last soldiers enrolment in Iecava was many years ago, so that will be a very special event for the corps in Iecava.

Have a blessed week
Peter Baronowsky

Defending Truth Without Compromise
Charisma News - "The most frequent objection of those who fear the presence of believers in government is, "What right do you have to impose your morals on us?" Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council tells them, "The same right you have to impose your lack of morals on us."
Someone's values will always be reflected in public policy. Almost every government policy decision is a value judgment. In this postmodern world, where moral relativism is the philosophy of choice, these value judgments are often based on the conditions of the moment rather than objective, transcendent, biblical truth. This is where the two sides diverge
."


About uniforms
Patrik Oltermann in FSAOF - "The uniform has been defined as a prophetic robe (the prophetic view of ourselves and others that we have made ourselves available in the war). The uniform has also been described as a sacrament (an outward sign of an inner grace). These aspects are vitally important and should not be lost. But they are only meaningful aspects of uniforms (whether it be a parade, work or field uniform) if it is worn outside the corps’ walls. Moreover, it is only meaningful if the uniforms as a external sign is followed by an inner grace."

The "Right Time" Is Now
Greg Laurie, devotion - "Though she was raised in a Christian home, my mother rebelled against God for most of her life. And whenever we got into any serious discussion about life or its meaning or the afterlife or God, she would always say, "I don't want to talk about it."
One day, she was very ill, and I felt especially impressed to go and have a conversation with her. So I went to see her. I said, "I want to talk to you about your soul, and I want to talk to you about the meaning of life and what happens after we die.

Daily devotion
February 4

“…but these (signs) are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
( John 20:31)

Devotion:
As you read the Bible you will understand that Jesus is the way to God. If you have great faith or just a little faith doesn’t really matter. Sometimes we illustrate this by putting a chair in the middle of the floor. A person can walk around that chair until he collapses pondering that chair, if it really could hold one’s weight. He can sit in the air above the chair as a test, or he can sit very lightly on the chair and carry most of his weight with his feet. But it is not until he dares to sit down and rest with all his weight on the chair that he really will know if the chair is stable enough to sit on. It is the same with faith. Many people walk around faith wondering if it would be stable enough for them. They have seen others “sitting down on the chair” and it was strong enough for them. But will it really be strong enough for me? The point is that it is not my faith that makes the chair strong enough. Lots of faith or a little faith doesn’t matter: If the chair holds my weight it is because it is that stable in itself. The same is true of God. Either my great faith or my little faith affects the existence of God or Jesus’ claims to be the Son of God. Either this is true and then it holds to build one’s life on, or it is not true. The only way to know is to try.

Prayer:
Lord, I thank You for all the millions of Christians, who have tried to believe in You before me and found that faith in God holds. Help me today to rest heavily in faith in You.
