Man of the In-Between

by Stu Weber No Kidding. “Rotcy” changed my life. It opened the door for me to the single most potent educational experience of my life–a brief stint on active duty in the U.S. Army. In retrospect, military service proved to be more mindshaping for me than four years of college. And more soul-strengthening than seminary. As I write these words, I glance up at the wall above my computer–and smile. There are no sheepskins there. But there is a faded Ranger school diploma and an old set of Vietnamese jump wings. And pictures of young men. Hal Moore said it […]

Mortal Enemies

[…]death as a substitute for my wickedness and so in prayer, I requested Him to forgive my sins and change me from a bitter, disillusioned ex-pilot into a well-balanced Christian with purpose in living. On that day I became a new person. My complete view on life was changed by the Christ I had always hated and ignored before. Soon friends and family learned of my decision to be a follower of Christ, and they could hardly understand it. New Life in Christ Big headlines appeared in the papers: “Pearl Harbor Hero Converts to Christianity.” Old war buddies came to […]

OCF Groups and You

by Beth Dowty Summer can be an exciting time of change in military life. For those of you who just commissioned—hallelujah! You’re already at or are looking forward to your first assignment. While some have completed ACSC, while others are PCSing. Many of you left a great OCF group behind, but there’s no OCF study where you are or else the Bible study is very different. Now what? What should an OCF fellowship group look like in this new place? An OCF fellowship group can look like a lot of things—there is no “authorized” cookie-cutter model. However, sometimes it involves […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]as a pillar of moral character and spiritual strength that would powerfully and positively change all those he encountered. New Cadet Jon Shine experienced the blur of “R” Day or Reception Day, like thousands before him; survived it, and was assigned to a room with two roommates, for their first night of “Beast.” To Dave Jamison, his new roommate from Arkansas, Jon was “the first person I talked to ‘as an equal’ that night.” Dave was overwhelmed and confused by the craziness and chaos of that day and could only think about why he had gotten himself into this mess.

Time, Talent, Treasure: OCF small group fellowships

[…]clothing store ministering to both local and global physical needs. The “how you shop can change a life” store features artisanal clothing and accessories created by impoverished women, produced by companies who educate and help them earn livable wages. A portion of the shop’s net proceeds is donated to charities helping women and children escape human trafficking. The boutique also hosted a study of The Purpose Driven Life in an effort to reach local, unchurched women with the Gospel. Other outreach activities include with a local food bank, Operation Christmas Child, and a Habitat for Humanity project, where this past […]

Two Greedy Institutions

[…]informed. b. Be involved in family decision making. c. Make time to do it. Discipline yourself to change your emotional focus on the way home at the end of the day to give real attention to the family. Take time with the children. (e.g., playing with them before supper; putting them to bed). Sometimes come home for supper and spend some time with the family. Then, if necessary, return to the office to finish the day’s work. Pray together. Practice little expressions of love. Recognize your need for God’s grace. Pray for his grace to lead and love your family. […]

What is Required of Me?

[…]Christians-smug, self-righteous, better than others “Cosmetic” Christians-skin-deep faith, no change in behavior, attitudes He then defines a fifth: the Christians who had the biggest impact on him and were a factor in his journey to know the Lord were the “Costly Christians” who lived their lives in a way that demonstrated their faith without regard to the personal costs.[iv] Should we evangelize throughout the military society? The answer is absolutely yes, but when and how? Influence first by example. People will notice as you serve your earthly and heavenly commanders with excellence. When they eventually see that Christ is the difference, […]

Will you embrace the Christ of Christmas?

[…]peace with God:   Tell God you are sorry for your sins and that you are willing to have Him change your way of living. Ask Jesus to be your Savior and Lord. The Officers’ Christian Fellowship statement of faith serves as a simple, yet eternally profound prayer to use: Inasmuch as I am a sinner and deserve the wrath of God, and since Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and has been bodily resurrected, according to the Scriptures, I have accepted Him as my personal Lord and Savior and am saved by His grace alone. Seek out other believers and a Bible-based […]

Wrestling with Depression

[…]member of one who does, can be stressful. The sacrifices, separations and situations we face can change us. I recently heard Chaplain (Major General) Douglas Carver, U.S. Army Chief of Chaplains, say that the three main reasons soldiers are killing themselves are because of personal shame, failed relationships, and being isolated from community. Honesty is a common value of all the services. In the seasons of “everything under the sun,” there is a time to drive on and a time to ask for help. Acknowledging that your spirit, soul, or body is in pain is the right thing to do […]
