Home Front Holidays

[…]Christ, others will notice. What an opportunity to share the reason for the hope that is in us! (1 Peter 3:15) Celebrating the holidays without your spouse is hard. To your children, though, it signals that the reason for our joy doesn’t change with circumstances. During the holiday season, cling to Jesus. He is our unchanging […]

Leaving a legacy of faith

[…]ascended as a memorial before God.” The Spirit of God used Cornelius to intervene in the life of Peter the Apostle and to deliver the gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 10:34-48). Cornelius’ devout life and reverence for God influenced his entire household and left an enduring spiritual legacy for generations.  Conscientious leaders strive to establish a positive legacy, and when it is time to move on, they usually pass the function or office on in better condition than they received it. Cornelius was obviously a faithful soldier. He gave time and attention to the spiritual dimension of his life and […]

War Eagle, Iraq

[…]Lord hears the prayers of the righteous, casting all our cares upon Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). The prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective (James 5:16). c) Always wear your Kevlar with the Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17). P.S. The soldier recovered well and attended the next chapel […]

Was it Failure or Success?

[…]let down the nets.'” (Luke 5:5). To me, Luke 5:5 is a curious object lesson. On the one hand, Peter, a skilled fisherman, could have been insulted that Jesus asked him to demonstrate once more what he had repeatedly failed at throughout the night. On the other hand, Jesus allowed him the opportunity to demonstrate faith and trust. One might ask: Did Simon really fail, or was his unproductive fishing tied to Christ’s master plan and call? I would think the latter. What can we draw from this from a leadership perspective? Recognize that God has a master plan. Failure […]

Wrestling with Depression

[…](Ephesians 6:12). Our enemy, the devil, is the father of lies (John 8:44) who seeks to devour (1 Peter 5:8), and kill and destroy us (John 10:10). He wants us to believe we are easy prey for his schemes-that we are alone and isolated without worth, hope, or help. That spiritual battle is also within us, between our old and new natures. Our flesh always wants to be in charge, but as Christians with the Holy Spirit living within us, God gives us the power to overcome and win. Wearing our country’s uniform, or being a family member of one […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]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. Ready to quit then and there, Dave wasn’t sure about this new guy. “Jon warmly introduced himself saying something like ‘we can make it if we work together,'” Dave remembered. “My first impression […]

Service Separations

[…]angry because I left you? I understand how you might. Could you talk to me about it?” The first week to ten days at home is a crucial time. It is also the time when many couples plan to get a baby sitter and take off for a few days by themselves. But if a youngster is already feeling resentful at being displaced from his mother’s favor, you can imagine how this makes him feel! So, if at all possible, try to postpone your getaway weekend for a couple of weeks. You’ll enjoy it just as much a little later, […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]I sensed there would be other opportunities to work with men eager to grow as believers. The first opportunity came during my first assignment in the Army. As a young lieutenant of infantry and a member of the storied 82d Airborne Division, the quick reaction force for the United States, I was humbled yet proud. Following an alert to possibly deploy to the Middle East in 1973, we all felt what it was like to be physically and emotionally prepared for combat. We also became sensitized to the spiritual side of our makeup. I felt a strong obligation to share […]
