Time, Talent, Treasure: Academies

[…]responded to God’s call, Here am I. Send me! And share the good news of Jesus Christ by selflessly pouring into the lives and souls of these budding military leaders.  USMA OCF’s Tom Austin and USNA OCF’s Bryan Burt, themselves graduates of the same academies they now serve, both became Christians via the OCF Bible studies and activities they attended as undergraduates. And both men were impacted by OCF’s conference center ministry by speaker Jim Wilson whose gospel message stirred Bryan at White Sulphur Springs, and Tom and Cheri at Spring Canyon, on their first vacation as a married couple.

My Early Christmas Gift

[…]absence left a void, robbing him of reliving favorite moments of the past with his Dad:  tossing the football in the backyard; pulling on the wishbone; and snuggling together as they watched and slept through a Cowboy’s game.  With Christmas just a few weeks away, he found it a struggle to get excited. After an eternity the bell rings unleashing him into a sunny afternoon.  Making a beeline to the playground, he imagines a familiar voice calling out his name.  Ignoring it he stays on course for his favorite swing.  The voice is louder and closer, and now unmistakable.  But […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]decision making and in broader and deeper organizational or command responsibilities. The issues you will identify and address will be increasingly complex and difficult. The environment in which you work will become increasingly ambiguous, and you will have a greater opportunity and responsibility to shape that environment rather than having it defined for you. With this comes the responsibility to address moral-ethical issues and to establish a positive climate, both professionally and spiritually, for those within your sphere of influence. We want to help equip you for these responsibilities in two distinct but integrated areas of life, professional and spiritual. […]

Soldiers of Faith: Washington

by MAJ Steven D. Russell, USA In his lengthy treatise On War Carl von Clausewitz stated that most of the subjects on the theory of war were half physical and half moral. “We might say the physical are almost no more than the wooden handle, whilst the moral are the noble metal, the real bright-polished weapon,” he wrote. While he concluded that the realm of the talents of the commander included virtue of the army and national feeling, he missed the chance to capture by historical example a general that embodied such moral force in action. George Washington was a […]

The Jungles of War

[…]was at least sure of my calling. Serving at Guantanamo Bay through the ominous days of the Cuban missile crisis brought no particular strain on me personally. We did our job; we returned home. Then came an assignment in 1965 as a battalion advisor with the Vietnamese Marine Corps (VNMC). The VNMC was an element of the “fire brigade” troops for the South Vietnamese government. They were well-trained, loyal and effective combat troops. Because of these factors they were moved into all four Corps areas, wherever the enemy was active, throughout the war. As soon as things cooled down, they […]

Three Words

by COL Alexander Shine, USA (Ret.) It was 12 May 1962. I was sitting in the mess hall where General Douglas MacArthur was to receive the Thayer Award. We knew we were in the presence of history. We were seeing and hearing one of the greatest soldiers of all time in what was his last visit to the alma mater he loved. You have most likely heard or read the speech, or at least this part of it: “Duty, honor, country. These three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.” […]

Winter Sports Retreat #2

[…]and difficult times. They are called upon to shine the light of Christ through their professional excellence, godly character, and Christ-like leadership. We will explore what it means in Daniel 11:32b to “Know their God, stand firm, and take action.” Specifically, we will unpack how this requires men and women serving today to be competent in who they are in the Lord and where He’s called them to serve; how to serve with physical, moral and spiritual courage; and how to be committed not only to their Lord, but also their Nation, through perseverance and wisdom. SPEAKER | BRIGADIER GENERAL […]

Leadership Came Naturally

[…]without shame or pretense. It was a natural part of him. He didn’t make a point of stressing it. If you got to know him, you experienced his contagious faith. He was “…always prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (I Peter 3:15). Moreover, he was smart enough to know his leadership success depended on people liking and respecting him, and compassionate and understanding enough to know he couldn’t ask people to do more than he would be willing to do himself. He spoke mainly with his […]

Service Separations

[…]If you expect to be miserable and lonely, you will be. If you dwell upon all you think you are missing out on, naturally you will be resentful and angry. Worst of all, if you have children, your attitude will rub off on them, and they will be miserable too. Edwin Markham expresses this idea in his poem, “The Right Kind of People.” In the poem, a traveler asks a prophet in the town he is entering what kind of people are there. The prophet asks the traveler what kind of people were in the town he just left. When […]

How Shall We Pray?

[…]live in challenging times. The clearest challenge to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coastguardsmen, and their families is the Global War on Terrorism. The GWOT is real, dangerous, long, hard, and critical to the defense of our nation and the freedoms it represents. Add to this the personal challenges of sickness, the loss of loved ones, difficulties with a child in school, conflict with those with whom or for whom we work, and relational issues with those we love. And then there are the challenges involving relationships with the Lord, both from inside the body and from the culture in which […]

Let His Light Shine!

[…]of sailing, prior to generators, the question of how to illuminate the space below deck was an issue. While whale oil and kerosene lamps provided some light, sailors had to endure the smell and fumes.  Some enterprising seafarers came up with a suitable answer–a deck prism.  This six-sided crystal was flat on one end and came to a point at the other. After cutting out a hole in the deck, the deck prism was laid with the pointed side down, refracting the light from above into the dark spaces below. My question is, how is your light shining?  The Bible […]

What Are Parents to Do?

[…]and pray unceasingly that God will grant them safety, good health, strength, courage, and success in their mission. He is truly in God’s hands now. There were so many uncertainties as Darren began his first deployment. We were unsure of the environment and the type of operations he would be involved in. Our minds were full of questions: How would he do? Would he try to be a hero? Would he stay healthy? Would he have access to email or a phone? We had some of these questions answered when we went to Fort Drum, New York, to bid him […]
