What sets Christianity apart from other religions?

What sets Christianity apart from other religions? Among many things, Christianity starts where other religions end.

The latter concern themselves much with man’s efforts, throughout life, to reach the standard required by the deity he worships. Christianity starts when man accepts the free salvation made available by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.

Thus man at the outset is reconciled to God and—his sin having been pardoned—he is accounted as having reached the necessary standard of righteousness required by God (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is the start of the Christian life, not the end. We work from and not to the required standard.

"…if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work" (2 Timothy 2:21).

From today's #OCFPowerinPrayer reminder: Pray for the interns and fellows of Spring Canyon’s PEAK program and White Sulphur Springs’ EXSEL program. Ask God to bless and encourage them and their mentors Andy & Heidi Truitt and Chris & Lisa Berge in this season of spiritual, vocational, and educational growth.

Now available on #OCFCrosspoint: S4E10, "'Get your emotions to work for you': Understanding emotional intelligence as a military leader" with Noble Gibbens

How do emotional intelligence (known as EQ) and leadership go together? What does EQ have to do with leading in the military? How does EQ line up with scripture? Noble Gibbens, also known as the @eqgangster, joins the podcast to answer these questions.

An Oklahoma-born West Point graduate who served in the U.S. Army in the 82nd Airborne Division, Noble combined his entrepreneurial spirit and experience with his passion for emotional intelligence to become a certified emotional intelligence practitioner, corporate speaker & trainer, and executive leadership coach. After growing up in a home where he “learned absolutely nothing about conflict resolution” and realizing his emotional dysfunction in his own home as an adult, Noble met with a counselor and began his emotional fitness journey.

In this episode, he defines emotional intelligence, shares experiences with leadership in and out of the military context, talks about David and other biblical examples of emotional intelligence, and more. Listen now via your favorite podcast app, and stay tuned for upcoming episodes of OCF Crosspoint!

Recall a time you were faced with a difficult task

Recall a time you were faced with a difficult task—personally, professionally, or relationally. Did you doubt that you could pull off the seemingly impossible, made dubious not due to elements of the assignment but because of the overwhelming courage or faith it would require?

Many men and women of faith have encountered such mountainous, faith-defining missions. As Moses was given his tasking, he was fully aware that neither escaping Egypt nor acquiring the land that flowed with “milk and honey” would be easy. New to his relationship with God (whose name he did not yet know), Moses is being asked to return to the place and person he had fled in fear of his life. Further, he would have to deliver a face-to-face message that would not be received well. Whatever his many apprehensions, the insufficiency of his speech, and the deafening pounding of his heart, God calmed Moses with these words: “I will be with you.”

Wow! God’s words were designed to give Moses confidence for the road ahead. What would Moses do with the assurance of God’s presence? What have you done with His assurance? I have done better at some times than at others. When it comes to integrating the Christian faith with profession, the point of reliance for mission accomplishment is on the One who says, “I will be with you.” We know the end of Moses’ story and the daunting tasks he faced all along the road to success, but God’s promise stood firm. He never left Moses.

Do you sense God calling you out, asking you to do something that is outside your comfort zone? What is your source of strength? Moses asked if another could take his place, but God sent his brother Aaron to help him. In your intimidating assignment, look for encouragement through a prayer partner, a mentoring relationship, or participation in a workplace Bible study.

"But what I wish they would ask is, 'Tell me about

"But what I wish they would ask is, 'Tell me about your child, tell me a good memory,' because that brings back happy things. Every time you say her name or talk about her, that keeps her memory and honors her." -Chris Thompson, Gold Star Mother

On this Gold Star Mother’s Day, we honor and pray God’s comfort and peace upon all moms and their family members who have suffered the loss of a son or daughter who died while in military service to our nation.

Last weekend featured a parent-youth program at not one but both of our conference centers! Pray God’s favor, protection, and blessing upon the parents and kids who participated in Climb Together at Spring Canyon and Horse Adventure Weekend at White Sulphur Springs. Ask Him to enrich their time of being with each other and with God in the glory of His creation.
