Child Evangelism

[…]“Have you sinned?” If the answer is no, do not continue. Urge him to come and talk to you again when he does feel that he has sinned. You may want to have prayer first, however, thanking God “for this young child who is willing to do what is right.” Make it easy for him to talk to you again, but do not continue. Do no say, “Oh, yes, you have sinned!” and then name some. With children, wait for God’s conviction. If the answer is yes, continue. He may even give a personal illustration of some sin he has […]

Christian Leadership for the Junior Officer

[…]is each one from? What does each one do on his/her time off? Does he/she have a family? Again, learn to listen actively. Finally, avoid discussions concerning politics, and other “touchy” subjects, perhaps including religion, for a time. Potential Pitfalls. While most of your NCOs will be hard working and conscientious, all are human. Here are some pitfalls you should be aware of. The Usurper. There is someone in every organization who will feel confident making decisions that are rightfully yours, usually with a smile on his face. General Colin Powell, in his book My American Journey, tells of one […]

Ice Cream in Iraq

[…]got their questions answered and I did not leave anyone out. I also hope you will write to me again in the future. You can either write to me again as a class or you can send me a letter from home. Be sure to ask your parents first, though! – Matthew’s […]

Lead Your Child to Christ

Six Generations: 1

[…]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 faithful participant in the weekly cadet chapel Wednesday morning program and was selected as the Cadet-in-Charge of that event. Jon was growing in his Christian faith through these many activities that gave him an opportunity to study God’s word, prepare lessons, and share his faith. Perhaps most significant in his spiritual maturing process was an encounter he had with a field house maintenance man sometime during his […]

The Space Between

[…]in Darmstadt, Germany. The Lord let me lead singles’ and family conferences there, which once again helped people get closer to each other and to Christ. God also opened the doors for me to preach at the Kelley and Cambrai Fritsch Kaserne Chapels. The Army sent me to Baghdad for four months, where I assisted in worship services and helped our deployed warriors in their relationships. My current unit is the 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion from Ft. Carson. While we were in Colorado, the Lord once again let me lead singles’ and family conferences in the beauty of the […]

[…]continuous help and comfort as you walk into danger, and perhaps even more as you walk into danger again and again. “Jesus is Lord” will also affect how you fight, and how you train your soldiers to fight-with courage, skill, and aggressiveness, but also with compassion and restraint. I encourage you to make it a goal so that when you and the men and women you lead come home from war, you come home with nothing to be ashamed of. “Jesus is Lord” will add a dimension of ministry to your life. Through chapels, OCF, and other forums, you will […]

Finding certainty in an uncertain world

[…]uncertainties by guarding your face, heart and mind: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near (vv. 4-5). Guard your face. We can tell the difference as to whether someone possesses true joy or is worried about the future. Paul tells us to rejoice in God because He is near. Do you feel God’s presence? Are you resting comfortably in His hands? If you do, your face and countenance will show it. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, […]

I Only See Green

[…]of God to break down the barriers between the Jews and the Gentiles. This is why we need to look again to Christ to bring today’s world together. We need to first realize that nearly all races and ethnic groups have been persecuted, some much worse than others have. As Christians we need to come together to grieve the persecutions, to apologize for the past wrongs, and to accept heartfelt apologies. We can only do that by putting our hearts and eyes on Christ and by praying for the strength to love one another unconditionally. Racism could end in a […]

Keep the End in Mind

[…]us greatly and builds you up. Get aggressive with the must do’s (whatever they are). Set goals again–short and long-term–so we can be ready when God shows us what’s next. Memorize Philippians 4:8 on the plane.” The words I wrote to Larry were ones I had to put into practice myself, a decision which made our time apart productive, and insured that we would stay in pace with each other. Near the end of that first letter I reminded Larry of what a friend had written in his Bible. “No Reserves! No Retreat! No Regrets!” I continued: “Give yourself fully […]

Leadership Came Naturally

[…]even get a chance to say goodbye. But we know, as David did for his son Absalom, we will see him again. We’re also left with profound gratitude for his life. A life well lived that will continue to be a “guidon” for those who knew him, or even knew about him. I thank God I was privileged to meet him in that bookstore so many years ago and am able to follow his example through life.   Editor’s note: Tom Hemingway, a servant of the Lord, died suddenly in August of 2000. This article, on the fifth anniversary of […]

Let His Light Shine!

[…]different kind of warfare from my active duty days–cyber-war, in which we would initially defend against by employing “defense-in-depth.”  This defense-in-depth consisted of a firewall, providing a perimeter of defense to keep out the bad guys, and anti-virus software patrolling within the perimeter to ensure nothing had slipped through to do damage, steal information, or render you useless. The last line of defense was the user who employed a password or other measures to encrypt and protect their information.  In the spiritual world, we can draw the same analogy-our defense-in-depth measures include fellowship, which acts as our perimeter defense, surrounding […]

My Early Christmas Gift

[…]the clock for the millionth time wishing for the school day to come to an end.  His mind wanders again to thoughts of his Dad who is somewhere in Pakistan, serving at an Air Base he couldn’t pronounce, let alone spell.  Although his family recently celebrated Thanksgiving, his father’s 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 […]
