I have read some comments lately about the role and abilities of officers within The Salvation Army. Most seem to elevate the role of an officer to a position supremely above that of a soldier. Officership is a role that can only be filled in response to the call of God on the person. For myself, after some years of rejection, and rebellion, the time came when there was surrender to the deep ache in my spirit, this then culminated in a deep peace. Rightly or wrongly, I see myself as a soldier first, who fulfils the role of an officer. Each soldier or officer has a specific giftedness, and abilities, which are unique to the body of believers. Can we celebrate the diversity of the body, without making pedestals, and categories, and boxes to restrict our individual roles?

In any big household there are naturally not only gold and silver vessels but wooden and earthenware ones as well.
