with The Salvation Army,
I know that this truth is
firmly believed and taught,
but I've always wondered
why it isn't part of The
Salvation Army's eleven
Articles of Faith, particu-
larly since it's also one of
the most attacked truths
of the Christian faith. Can
you shed any light on this?
Stephen Boyer

Editor's Reply: The truth
of the resurrection of
Christ is included in our
first doctrine: "We believe
that the Scriptures of the
Old and New Testaments
were given by inspira-
tion of God and that they
only constitute the divine
rule of Christian faith and
practice." The Salvation
Army does not enumerate
every biblical doctrine in its
eleven articles of faith but
accepts them as true be-
cause of the testimony of
the Word of God.

Great Blessing
I would like to thank you
for the War Cry dona-
tions you have blessed
us with throughout the
years.They have always
been a great blessing to
the men at Shawangunk
Correctional Facility.
Chaplain Steven Slakovitz

.....................
Full Truth
I was surprised by Editor-
in-Chief Major Allen Satter-
lee's article, "My Lord My
God," stating that Mary,
the sister of Martha, was
in the garden on Resur-
rection morning. I believe
it was Mary of Magdalene,
who was named for the
city she was from. I only
bring this to account be-
cause as Christians we
are given the Great Com-
No Wiggle Room
Just a quick note to tell
you how much I appreciate
the War Cry's new look and
feel (I've just read through
the February issue). Far
more modern and mag-
azine-like, with a greater
breadth of articles as well
as interesting little bits like
Plumblines. I particularly
enjoyed the challenge to
embrace and act in a spirit
of unashamed (and un-
diluted) Salvationism, as
seen in A Declaration of
War, and the small report
in the Essence section, on
South Asia New Believ-
ers Apprised of Risks. This
sort of content reminds us
that the Christian life and
faith is not synonymous
with a soft, namby pamby,
half-hearted, all-that's-ex-
pected-is-that-you-come-
sit-in-a-pew-on-Sunday
sort of life. Rather, articles
and content like this of-
fer us a clear, no "wiggle
room" view of what's
expected of Christians
(especially Salvationists).

Articles of Faith
Thank you for the Easter
War Cry issue! The bodily
resurrection of Jesus Christ
is no doubt one of the most
important Christian doc-
trines and is our foundation
of hope. Being involved

Zeal and Zest
One feature in the War
Cry that stood out for me
was "When Will Revival
Come?" Revival is one
of the true legacies of
The Salvation Army. At
times solders, friends and
officers need a renewal
because on our journey
in life we often
get stale. Some-
times, as believ-
ers in Christ, we
lose part or all
of our zeal and
zest, and a love
for salvation,
holiness and
sanctification.
I often think of
an Army chorus
that we used to
sing, "Coming
this way yes, coming this
way, a mighty revival is
coming this way. Keep
on believing, trust and
obey. A mighty revival
is coming this way."
Dave West
Salem, OR Kroc Corps
mission and the truths of
the Word of Our Lord are
very important. The world
needs the full truth of the
Lord and we are of course
watched for this truth. The
editor�in�chief has a great
responsibility and mission
to report the Words of
truth accurately. My heart
was a little heavy with
this. May our Lord bless
you all who work for Him.

Keep It Up
Let me add to the encour-
aging feedback you've
been receiving about the
War Cry's new look and
formatting. Well done!
Keep up the good work.
