What you do and how you lead does matter

[…]good thing we share for the sake of Christ.” Then be ready to respond to everyone who asks. This is important—one man’s evangelism is another man’s proselytizing. But when you are asked, what seeds of faith are you prepared to plant? It highlights the importance of walking in the Spirit and having a tightly crafted personal testimony, of developing habits of scripture memory, of staying in the Word, and especially being able to distill the essence of the gospel message. Stay on message of God’s great love for each of us, about Christ and His sacrifice for us. No Fear! […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]may offer opportunities for Christians to share spiritual truth. Many times they have been used by the Holy Spirit to draw people to Christ. Nonbelievers think of the chaplain as one who is “paid to talk about Christ.” They usually don’t perceive the Christian line officer as a “professional” Christian. For this reason, your testimony about God’s grace and purpose in your life can have a strong impact. They may really “hear”–for the first time–the reality of the Christian faith that they have “tuned out” in church or chapel for years. As a line officer, you can understand the problems […]

Leadership and the Christian Officer

[…]and strategic principles are the same; soldiers, sailors and airmen are basically the same. It is the circumstances that are different and therefore require different applications of the basic principles. At lower unit levels problems are tangible and immediate. The commander and subordinates are face-to-face with them. The commander has close personal contact with subordinates. Physical courage has a great impact. The problems are relatively simple, covering small areas, few people and few types of situations. At higher levels it is quite different. While there are fewer opportunities to display personal physical courage, moral courage is a constant requirement. It […]

TTP – Vision and Leadership

[…]that will drive our performance and behaviors. These focus areas are training and readiness. Emphasis and excellence in these areas will result in accomplishing our vision of providing exceptional service and support to all customer agencies to ensure mission success for our unit, our customers, and our nation. While we clearly state our USAF core values as “Integrity First,” “Service Before Self,” and “Excellence In All We Do,” we understand their foundation in much more enduring truths to which we can all relate. In Matthew 5:37, Jesus states, “Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’.” That is […]

OCF and Leadership

[…]message in OCF? Are we focusing on process in training leaders, or are we focusing on vision? Is the question going into an installation Pray, Discover, and Obey, “How many Bible studies do we need?” or is it,”How are we going to build Christian leaders…families…fellowships at our installation?” The first is a process question, the second is a vision-a leadership-question. Ephesians 4:11-16 talks about the leadership model of the church. God gifted some individuals to be apostles, others prophets, evangelists, or pastor/teachers. That is leadership. To what purpose? “…To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body […]

Further insights from Mike and Angie Moyles

[…]your priorities straight. Whatever the struggle—aggression, depression, anger, etc.—the answer is the same: faith, family, fitness. Live by them. Every single day, without exception. Never give up. …Insights for those struggling with the how long and why me questions…  Forget the “how long do I have” question. Only One knows the answer—God. Some of the best doctors in the world gave me five years to live—seventeen years ago. Don’t focus on how long. Rather, live every single day as if it’s your last. Cancer or not, that might be the case. So maximize every minute. “Why me” is more difficult, […]

Finishing Strong, in Iraq and Life

[…]mission in Iraq went through its own evolutionary process, and now the finish looks like this: the U.S. presence in Iraq created the opportunity for a divided nation to unite democratically under one flag and voice. And If Iraq embraces this prospect through wise choices, they will pass on this freedom to their children. Our troops articulated this mission well. From the motor pool mechanic to the communications expert under antennas on dusty hills, they clearly understood the support they provided. During some of my unannounced visits to the troops’ work places, I heard them talk firsthand about how their […]

Laborers and Laboring as Unto the Lord

[…]economy of growing unemployment, declining productivity, and the unfathomably ballooning debt is the least of America’s problems. At a period in our nation’s history when we should be calling on and returning to follow God the most, our country as a whole is increasingly treating the Lord of All as some uninvited pest needing to be permanently shooed from our lives. Jesus declared in the Sermon on the Mount, “But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the […]

Truth and the Christian Leader

[…]5:1-11, the account of Ananias and Sapphira’s deceit, should lead one to conclude that truth is the essential thing. In this perplexing story–which takes place as the early church was forming–maintaining a standard of truth and honesty proved to be the bedrock for the church and our Christian faith. Those endowed with leadership responsibility needed to set and safeguard ethical standards. Many are shocked at the decisive, harsh response to the couple’s duplicity. Yet neither Peter nor the disciples brought about this speedy demise. They lied to the Spirit of the Lord. He acted as He saw fit. How might […]

OCF Groups and You

[…]of OCF group needs to be at this location and what should I do about it?” rather than “Where is the OCF group I can join?” Remember—you are OCF. Your level of involvement and leadership is the determining factor in the success of OCF where you are now. Here are some suggestions on how an OCF fellowship group might look in differing environments: Home Bible study—officers, enlisted, retirees, or civilians meeting in someone’s home, using DVD, inductive, or topical Bible studies. Deployed group—an ad hoc group who meets for prayer/Bible study, often ending when deployment ends. Lunchtime workplace—a mixed group […]
