"Yesterday Ended Last Night"

Over and over, I hear people say, “Why can’t we do the things that we used to do; the things that made The Salvation Army great?”

If The Salvation Army did the things it used to do, then it would be doing things it has never done.

It wasn't past accomplishments, but creative progression that made The Salvation Army a great force for the mission of Christ in its early years.

Today is a new day, with a new song, and a fresh idea. As John Maxwell says, "Yesterday ended last night!"

Let’s not stifle the creative spirit of God’s people. Encourage one another to share ideas and be enthusiastic for one another as we work together to see those ideas suited to God’s will.

Forever learning,
Johnny
