Editorial
As I transfer the printed magazine to web-pages I find it necessary to rewrite the editorial for the new environment. This is an exciting venture, an opportunity to remember the words of Jesus, "Go into all the world..........." (Matthew 28:19)
Although we are not primarily a missionary group we all have the responsibility to share the Good News; and charismatic groups need to tell why they get excited. Ever since I joined A.R.M.(Wales) in 1994 I have been moved by the song "Father of Creation, unfold your sovereign plan…" but from the first I was struck with the way we sang the chorus. "Let your Glory fall in this room, let it go forth from here to the nations, let your fragrance rest in this place, as we gather to seek your face" Did we mean it? How was this "glory" to go forth except we were prepared to go with it? Why should we have the blessings without bearing a cost?
We still seek to serve the Anglican Church-in-Wales and pray for Revival, but we know that Revival always starts in our own hearts, so we have to be ready. Ready for God to make a lot of changes in our lives and in our churches. After the 1904 Revival Welsh men and women, did go to many parts of the world to take the Gospel. Now it can happen again through the World Wide Web.
We would like to share some of the excellent magazine articles we already have with any passing surfer. We would like to tell the world that God loves each and every person, no matter what their nationality or colour or creed. Every one is equally important to our loving Heavenly Father. He is a God who has experienced pain and suffering, and He suffers still because of the pain in the world. He wants love to replace all the hatred, fear and doubt, and that love has to be shown through the church. So as we love God, we must love our neighbour, it is the natural outcome, and I hope that we will share much about "real love" for all people, through the pages of this "Hyperspace" version of our magazine.
In this issue we have gone deeper into the question of holiness and being ready for the next phase. Both Enid Morgan and Gerry Angel challenge us to a serious consideration of our identity and Steve Morgan spells out the requirements of the Believer's Church. Pam Worsey exhorts us to consider our readiness and Phil Rees assures us that "Fellowship" is an essential in our faith, for we are all one in Christ Jesus. I simply say look again at the role of the Suffering Servant (Isaiah 52-53) and ask if we can follow in His footsteps?
