[…]the Lord of my life at 13 years old. What is the biggest challenge you see currently facing OCF right now? How OCF will continue to accomplish its mission in a military culture that has significantly changed since the concept of the ministry. Staying practical, relevant, and faithful in the development of Christian officers is a need that continues to exist. The traditional OCF ministry approach must be adaptable to continue assisting officers in successfully exercising biblical leadership in the challenging days ahead. Nominated by: LtCol Todd Ferry, USMC; MajGen Mel Spiese USMC (Ret.); LtCol Mike West, USMC (Ret.) […]

[…]4:7 says, “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door…” Listen to the Right Advisors However, the question still remains–how do you recognize right when you see it? Second Chronicles 10:6-15 gives one lesson in that area. Within this Scripture we see the importance of listening to those who have experience and knowledge and can pass that on to others. However, in this situation King Rehoboam “…rejected the advice of the elders.” Because of this rejection his subsequent actions divided the people […]

[…]save for those he was helping. Only after many years have passed is his story becoming known. Others now need to hear it. Faith Grows Jon’s confidence and persistence allowed him to make the gymnastics team his Plebe year and he continued to apply his strong athletic abilities to that endeavor as a Yearling. He was now a high bar specialist and lettered his second year on the team. He also followed suit from his first year by volunteering to teach Sunday School again, this time for eighth graders from families that lived on the installation. Additionally he was a […]

[…]gone home and in the Savior’s presence, as we labored on.” From Jon’s life story, we now know of his propensity to sacrificial living and action when others are involved. He constantly chose the harder, more risky, more dangerous “right” rather than the much easier “wrong” when confronted with such dilemmas. We have seen that he moved–yes, bolted–into action, without any hesitation, toward the enemy that was engaging and threatening his small band of soldiers, 75 yards from his platoon position. He could have tried to call in artillery and jets to bomb the enemy force but his troops were […]

[…]had left the room, the wife turned to me and said somewhat jokingly, “I guess what we need right now is another tour of sea duty!” Other couples have testified that separations resulting from the career had helped to keep their marriages fresh and alive. Communication need not suffer because you and your husband are apart. It can even improve. I’ve already mentioned the value of tapes, e-mail or videos. Many have found that they tended to share and discuss things, both spiritual and otherwise, in greater depth on tapes than they did face to face. For one thing, how […]
[…]3:13–25, 4:12-19. A leader with many powerful attributes may tend to think he or she is always right. Even when one is in the right, Christ taught Peter to abide by the rules of the institution “so that we may not offend them.” The cross of Christ is offense enough to people immersed in sin, without us also bringing offense to them. Christ also taught that God will provide for us in such circumstances. Peter learned well and taught submission to instituted authority and trust in God in his first letter. We encourage you to continue developing an attitude that […]

[…]gathering in Mike and Arden Patterson’s home has concluded. While the group of fifty is now gone, having shared laughter, fellowship, and twenty-seven pounds of Shepherd’s pie, this final night’s emotional impact has just arrived. Eagerly anticipating the Lord’s next chapter for their lives, Arden acknowledges not realizing “just how hard this moment would be.” 2200 OCF team leaders John and Eva Haddick’s volunteer ministry for OCF is a “God-given mission” going back to “what Christ did” for them through the legacy of OCF’s biblical foundations. OCF’s small group gatherings are key to their lives, and the JBLM one […]

[…] except life. Thus, as a commissioned Army leader it is your duty always not only to know what is right, but with courage to announce it and lead others to choose in their own behavior the harder right over the easier wrong. The best way to illustrate such a moral exemplar is with a story. Decades ago as a lieutenant in 1964, I was to be aide to our new brigade commander, who was also a new brigadier general just arriving on Okinawa. At one of our first meetings, I asked him what my duties were. Mind you, he […]

[…]question emerged in my mind: are we finishing strong? Finishing strong in any endeavor depends on knowing where we started. The military 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 […]
[…]to keep love alive in the marriage. Otherwise, misunderstandings and resentment can easily grow. Now we know that Rob’s love language is Acts of Service, which means he feels most loved when I do things for him, whether that’s cooking, bringing him coffee, or keeping the house tidy. My love language is Quality Time, so spending time in activities or conversation with him is what makes me feel most loved. But because we didn’t know this about each other when we first married, our efforts at expressing love often fell short. Here’s what happened: Jocelyn: When Rob was out […]

[…]all things considered, and wondered if I would have handled the situation any differently. My self-righteousness was now completely replaced with sorrow, for him and for my response to him. In his first letter to the church at Corinth, Paul pens arguably the most eloquent passage on love anywhere in the Bible. It’s almost impossible to go to a wedding and not hear the thirteenth chapter read as part of the ceremony. If, as the passage states, love is patient and kind, bears all and believes all, where was this type of love in my exchange with my friend? […]
