Decision Sunday
That's what today is...Decision Sunday. With the absence of the Corps Program Reporter (that was a tool used by all corps for many years), regular events and opportunities like Decision Sunday may become less familiar and less likely to do. I'm praying that our corps will take advantage of this special moment to offer the Sunday School attenders a chance to make a decision to be saved.
The idea behind a quarterly occurrence of such is a healthy reminder to invite people to come to Christ and be certain of their salvation. The theme suggested for today is "Meet you at the Cross", and the material circulated is quite useful.
Your best decision this Sunday (today) is to have a Decision Sunday. If you haven't done so, why not make a decision to do it next week. In some corps, every Sunday is a decision Sunday. That's good too. I'm really glad someone asked me to make a decision for Jesus. It changed my life.
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor. 1:18 (NIV)

What a beautiful collection of reflections on the everyday encounters of life.
Here, thinking of Decision Sunday, is a reminder of traditional ways of giving room for people to receive Christ. We want to work in a more spontaneous way now, but often the result is that things get squeezed out of busy lives, and maybe the opportunity is never spoken aloud. There's a good argument for planned opportunity as well as spontaneous response to the Spirit -- certainly the Spirit is not limited to one or the other!
Thanks, Alison. I have the sense that while you are far away in ministry, you're close to us in heart.
