Because it is hard to live a really Christian life Because it is hard to live a really Christian life, it is worthwhile. The manliest man who ever lived was Jesus Christ. His manliness is shown by His moral courage as well as by His physical bravery. Today’s passage shows His moral courage. He found men engaged in changing money in a part of the Temple where they should not have been. They were there with the connivance of Annas, the High Priest. There is evidence that they were charging inflated prices for the animal sacrifices, and making excess profit in exchanging money for the temple money with which the sacrifices had to be bought. In any case, they were desecrating His Father’s House, and so our Lord acted as in verses 15 and 16, not caring in the least what the people would think or paying the slightest heed to the risk He ran of being assaulted. Jesus Christ was completely unbound by the customs and public opinion of the day. We too require moral courage if we are not to be afraid of public opinion. Many men wish they had this quality, but a “wish-bone” can never take the place of a backbone. The service of God is a man’s job; any fool can serve the devil. #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
"How as soldiers and leaders can we be more presen "How as soldiers and leaders can we be more present in our day-to-day without being consumed in our purpose (end state) so God can powerfully use us?" This question was recently posed to the members of the Fort Moore OCF group. Local Leader Anthony Randall shares, "We are outside of Fort Moore in Midland. God is creating a multi-generational community of military singles and families who are sharing life together. "We are studying the Gospel of Mark. Last night, in Mark 5, we looked at Jesus healing the woman in the crowd and the synagogue leader's daughter because of his presence, power, and purpose. Jesus' presence was key. Jesus didn’t rush to his purpose so quickly that he missed out on being present for God to use His power in multiple ways."

Thank you to all of those who donated, spread the Thank you to all of those who donated, spread the word, and prayed for our #GivingTuesday efforts! We're excited and grateful to have raised over $3,000 so far - over 85% of our goal - to help more service members and officer candidates benefit from our 100 Days Devotional Bible Study. While the official GivingTuesday may have ended yesterday, it's not too late to donate if you'd like to support this fundraiser. Just visit ocfusa.org/givingtuesday to learn more and donate now to ensure 2,500 military leaders receive 100 Days at no cost to them. #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
To many people, “the Church” suggests a religi To many people, “the Church” suggests a religious society administered by Bishops, clergy and ministers. In the Bible the word “Church” or “Ecclesia” means, “called out,” that is, from the bondage of sin into the “glorious freedom of the children of God” (Romans 8:21). Therefore “the Church” consists of all people, clergy and laity—irrespective of nationality, color, sex, age, denomination, or intellectual ability—who (responding to the call) have been “born again” (John 3:3) by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:7, Acts 20:28). And so all real Christians (as opposed to those in name only) form “the Church” which is “the body of Christ.” See 1 Corinthians 12:27-28, Colossians 1:18, and 24. You enter the Church through Christ, and not Christ through the mere external ordinances of a religious organization. When a local church is filled with spiritual life and faithfully proclaims a biblical Gospel, then, through repentance and faith, men and women will turn to Christ and the church will become “the Church.” Remember in regard to ecumenical efforts that the true Church has unity and rejoices in it. We discover this unity when we find a brotherly bond with other real Christians of all sorts of background. Being “all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28) is the real experience of fellowship that should not be confused with union or uniformity. Note “keep,” not “make,” in Ephesians 4:3. -- To help more service members and officer candidates benefit from our 100 Days Devotional Bible Study, featured in this post, consider donating to our #GivingTuesday fundraiser today! We're over halfway to reaching our goal, and your contribution can ensure 2,500 military leaders receive 100 Days at no cost to them. #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith

Skip your Starbucks run tomorrow, and use your $7 Skip your Starbucks run tomorrow, and use your $7 to give five service members the gift of 100 Days instead.  Today’s military leaders face unique challenges, and those who follow Christ even more so. OCF helps members live out this unique calling by providing free resources to equip the service member and his/her family. Resources like the “100 Days Devotional Bible Study” teach leaders how to integrate Christian faith and military service, and enable deeper study of the Bible, whether individually or in a group setting. Your donation of $7 means five people will receive a copy of 100 Days. Visit ocfusa.org/givingtuesday to learn more and donate today, or be sure to do so tomorrow on #GivingTuesday. #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole hear "I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds" (Psalm 9:1). Thank God for His grace, mercy, and faithfulness as we pause to contemplate His abundant blessings to our nation and to each of us. Happy Thanksgiving! #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
God wants us to put Him to the test, and longs to God wants us to put Him to the test, and longs to pour out unlimited blessings on us, and through us to others. But note that the condition is Complete Surrender: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse” (v. 10). If Jesus Christ is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all. This is the same truth as the first of the 10 Commandments—“You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). See also Luke 14:33. Save this post and refer to it when you need to be reminded of who God is: • True happiness (Psalm 146:5) • Absolute cleansing (Isaiah 1:18) • Abundant pardon (Isaiah 55:7) • Sin conquered (Romans 6:14) • Life abundant (John 10:10) • Glorious freedom (Romans 6:18; 8:21) • More than conquerors (Romans 8:37) • Generously enriched (1 Corinthians 1:5; 2 Corinthians 9:11) • Continuous victory (2 Corinthians 2:14) • All-sufficient grace (2 Corinthians 9:8; Romans 5:20) • Complete redemption (Galatians 3:13; 4:5) • Unlimited power (Ephesians 1:19; 3:20) • Boundless love (Ephesians 3:19; Romans 8:35-39) • Peace unbelievable (Philippians 4:7) • Every need supplied (Philippians 4:19) • Real wisdom (James 1:5) • Joy unspeakable (1 Peter 1:8) #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
"Over the past two summers in 2022 and 2023, the 1 "Over the past two summers in 2022 and 2023, the 100 Days Bible Study has been a part of what we give to Army ROTC cadets attending Air Assault School at Fort Campbell that go to chapel with us. This gives these cadets a way to start a habit of daily time with the LORD in His Word with a Scripture passage and short devotional, a day-by-day habit many do not yet have. It is a useful tool to open their eyes to the value and benefit of time with God on a daily basis." -Greg Lane, Local Leader at Fort Campbell #GivingTuesday is just one week away! Consider supporting OCF as we raise money to provide 100 Days devotionals to another 2,500 officer candidates and service members at no cost to them.
