[…]and sought solitude, finding a place among the outcropping of rocks to sit. From this vantage point, I was moved by God’s splendor and majesty in His creation– a stunning waterfall to my left and to my right, an unobstructed view of the Rocky Mountains’ western expanse. I settled in for a time of “stillness,” but after a few minutes restlessness began to creep in. Believing my time with the Lord was over, I got up to return to camp. But immediately the Lord spoke to my heart, “Not so fast, David. I’m not finished with you yet! Be still […]

[…]They don’t start wars, they end them. When the army arrives, the battle is over.” At this point the Sergeant Instructor paused, looked slowly around the room and then continued in a low menacing voice, “…and then there is the Marine Corps.” And that’s all he said. “Yes!” we barked and “Ooh-Raahed” with every fiber of our being, but it slowly dawned on me what our Sergeant Instructor had done. No one had been put down. Our pride in the Corps was not at anyone else’s expense. It was a lesson I have never forgotten. Years later I commanded a […]

[…]organization; show respect and impartiality. You will develop and eventually be promoted to the point where you can only communicate intent and inspire vision and can no longer directly supervise activities. As a Christian officer you might be called to serve as an OCF local leader, serve as an OCF area coordinator, or serve on the OCF governing Council. As a military professional you may also be called to serve as a unit commander. In these leadership positions, there must not be even the hint of misconduct or favoritism. Respect for all faith groups and all denominations. You must never […]

[…]you an officer, an Airmen, a Soldier, a Marine, a Sailor, or a Coastguardsman? The Scriptures all point to service to our Lord. Moses commanded Joshua, “. . . to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul” (Joshua 21:5). Joshua went on to tell the people, “. . . choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). […]

[…]weren’t yet signed. Trying to be the “good” Christian, I saw this as my opportunity to point out his transgression. After a brief treatise on fidelity and marriage, I punctuated my comments by calling him, “Mr. Immorality.” That would make clear the error of his ways and with any luck I would soon be leading him in the sinner’s prayer. I eased back in my office chair with a sense of pride at my work for the cause of Christ. Looking for additional opportunities to “help,” I asked why he was getting a divorce in the first place. His response […]
