It's time for a #TriviaTuesday! 🌟 Get to know Joe the Turk: Joe was born Nishan Der Garabedian to Armenian parents in Tallas, Turkey in 1860. His father, an Armenian Apostolic priest, tragically died when Nishan was three years old. He lost his mother when he was 14 years old. In 1878, 18-year-old Nishan changed his name to Joe Garabed and made his way to London, England before boarding a ship to work with his brother as a shoemaker in Worchester, MA. Before leaving London, Joe witnessed Salvationists being attacked on the streets. He could not speak English, but he defended the group and briefly became their bodyguard. Joe eventually left his brother’s employ and traveled the country. He was often fired due to his ever-increasing alcoholism and explosive temper, but his redeeming qualities were his physical strength and an innovative, smart mind. He opened his own shoe store in San Francisco, where he met a Salvationist, John Milsaps. Through the love and patience of Milsaps, Joe accepted Jesus into his life. On July 24, 1887, he became an officer. He sold his shoe store and served as a traveling evangelist. 🔗 Tap the link to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dhyKCXYZ 📸 via The Salvation Army National Archives

We can realign our priorities and replace our earthly objects of affection with the only proper object of religious worship, our Creator, Preserver and Governor of all things: God and God alone. 💛 https://lnkd.in/edm2xFSZ

#AskAnOfficer: If God cares about me, why isn’t He answering my prayers? 😕 There have been times in my life when it has felt like my prayers have gone unanswered. Someone I love is sick and needs healing, I’m waiting on test results or someone is feeling lost or broken ... the list could go on and on. I realized the question is not, “why isn’t God answering my prayers,” but “is this the right timing?” Psalm 84:11 (NIV) says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.” God’s timing is not our timing. In moments where we feel that God is not answering our prayers, continue to trust in His timing and His perfect plan. We do not always see the full picture or know all that God has in store. Keep praying and keep trusting in our caring Father. 🙏 Thanks, Lt. Macy Gantner, for sharing this advice! 🌟
