The Salvation Army is known for our social services.
The Salvation Army is known for our emergency disaster work.
The Salvation Army is known for our programs.
The Salvation Army is known for our fund-raising.
The Salvation Army is known for our brass bands.
The Salvation Army is known for our thrift stores.
The Salvation Army is known for our youth work.
The Salvation Army is known for our adult rehabilitation work.
But
Our name is not The Social Service Army.
Our name is not The Emergency Disaster Army.
Our name is not The Program Army.
Our name is not The Fund-raising Army.
Our name is not The Brass Band Army.
Our name is not The Thrift Store Army.
Our name is not The Youth Work Army.
Our name is not The Adult Rehabilitation Work Army.
All these things are fine and help us reach our mission, but they are not our primary purpose. Our name is "The Salvation Army." We are an Army of Salvation. Or at least we should be according to our name. Are we?
Are we accomplishing our mandate to win the world for Jesus? Only you can answer that question.
