The Role of Faith

[…]or war will deal with its members’ fears. People often turn to God during crisis. In the media coverage during recent missions, there were constant public references to prayer and looking to God for help. Faith gives people the hope and courage they need to get through trials. The realization that you have no control over your circumstances may draw you to God for the first time, or possibly back to God. “The power is in the Person to whom faith clings. . . . The great things that come about through crisis are not the result of ‘great faith’ […]

The Lord—your refuge in a high optempo

[…]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 and know that I am God.” The next two hours were life changing as the Lord showed through Scripture and His Spirit the plans He had for me. Somewhere along the way in your own walk with the Lord, working at a high operational tempo filled with busy days, deployment, and dwindling resources, you too may have missed the still, small […]

Walking

[…]refreshing revelation, that when we honestly have done all we can, but are stuck–we cannot even know what to say or how to say in prayer the right thing–well, it is then that the Spirit steps in just at the right time and along with us, from His end He takes hold of the situation or problem and lifts it up to God in a very able, clear, definite and acceptable way. Meanwhile all we can do during that time is to groan in response to his burden upon our hearts. God understands and answers! Therefore, if we respond properly […]

War Eagle, Iraq

[…]as we seek to do the right thing (Psalm 91:5). b) It’s always a good thing to pray with the knowledge that the 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.

[…]leadership in the military. Bible studies are a tool, arguably our most effective tool. However, nowhere in our purpose, vision, mission, or pillars do you find a call to small group Bible studies. We can’t even claim it as a distinctive: small groups are endemic now, and they have been a part of the Christian Church since around 30 AD. So what about our niche? Leadership. We encourage and equip officers to minister effectively in the military society. Why officers? Because officers are commissioned to lead, and they need to use that leadership in a biblical way. They lead biblically […]

Preparing for Active Duty

[…]with OCF. Don’t wait for someone to contact you. Be a leader who will make a Kingdom difference. Now, what can you expect from OCF at Maxwell? We see Maxwell as a spiritual “touchpoint.” Our ministry hope is reflected in this slogan: Touch people’s lives…Grow them deep…Commission them for service Active OCF Bible study groups exist at each of the professional military school here, and several evening Bible study groups meet on base and across the area. A vibrant partnership exists between OCF and the Maxwell/Gunter Chapel community. Here are six themes we hope to reinforce during your time with […]

Some Thoughts for Christians

[…]each other, He is far more concerned with our relationship to Him and the work of His Church. Knowing our limitations, God knows that whatever political systems we set up, we’ll mess them up. Conversely, no matter how bad certain systems may be, in most instances good people can do pretty good things through or in spite of the systems. Thus we can conclude that any policy or political philosophy that promises utopian results is doomed to failure–and will likely cause much mischief along the way. Because of the limitations of human nature we can also expect that political issues […]

Do you have a PCS sponsor—to heaven?

[…]first martyr, he “looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55). Jesus’ promise to His distressed disciples the night before He was crucified is rock solid to us as well 2,000 years later, “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where […]

Further insights from Mike and Angie Moyles

[…]from many of my friends and other girls I had dated—clearly unique, having a special spark. I now know it was the light of Christ that I’d never seen before. Whatever she had that made her so unique, I wanted to be a part of it. I’m not letting her go. She holds my life together. …His wife, Angie, part 2…  I once when forgot to do something for her, and I tried to blamed it on the removed lobe. That only worked the first time—not any longer. …Walking out on the “termination counselor”… We were told later that we […]

Operation Iraqi Freedom

[…]Euphrates Rivers that I’d learned about in church and school my whole life. If tradition has it right, I might even have been able to see the Garden of Eden from there, if only I had known where it was. We dropped more leaflets than bombs, especially before OIF started officially, and I wondered how much difference it would make if we dropped Bibles or tracts instead of political leaflets. Not everyone knew that we actually flew over Iraq before OIF started (as we have been doing for the last twelve years), or that the Iraqis have been shooting back […]

OCF Groups and You

Let the home office know if you do begin a group, and encourage others in your group to officially join OCF—not just participate in an OCF group—so they can enjoy the camaraderie and benefits of formal membership. Enjoy the unique camaraderie we have through OCF—connecting in fellowship with other military members who love Jesus, to support, equip, and encourage each other in God’s Word.   Beth Dowty served as a personnel officer in the United States Air Force from 2000-2004.

Through A Glass Darkly

[…]They’ll forget whatever they learn at this age, but later when they get older they’ll get to know him. As a result of this thinking, many of God’s delightful toddlers begin their framework of life without the security and knowledge of a God who’s bigger than any thunderstorm or imagined monster in a closet. Parents wait until they’re older, but no one is really sure when that time is. Suddenly they find out that when Jason or Jessie is older, he’s far too cool to be interested in our Father. As mothers and dads, we have a wonderful opportunity to […]

For All Leaders

[…]your character. I’ve found it helpful to pray through Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Watch out for pride. Many a commander has been caught up in his success and been trapped by the things of this world as described in 1 John 5:16 above. Satan is subtle in his attacks. Proverbs warns that, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). It’s difficult to be proud when you […]

How does the Lord see you?

[…]us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” (Isaiah 6:8). Secondly, He calls us to serve Him right where we are. Here’s a story that brings this to light. An Army lieutenant colonel recently shared with me his encounter with a fellow Wheaton College alum, as they brought each other up to date on their lives since graduating years earlier. The other fellow talked about how Wheaton had prepared him for his current ministry as a pastor. But in hearing about the lieutenant colonel’s current position, the pastor sighed, what a waste of a Christian education! The lieutenant colonel, […]

It Didn’t Surprise God

I trust He will call her home at exactly the right time. Until then, I live the blessing of more days with Heather and I am thankful for the responsibility to love her as Christ loves the church. And so the journey continues. Today Heather has a one-inch scar, barely visible on the front of her neck. Our children are learning of God’s faithfulness as we continue […]

Professional Excellence (Durfey)

[…]better yet, follow the Lord as He leads us. The more we get to know the Lord, the more we know He is always right. We also learn over time that He is always good and He always has our best in mind. With that knowledge, we learn to trust Him as we go through our personal trials and hardships. Trusting in the Lord is another key ingredient in a leader. Trust brings stability and minimizes the stress of the unknown in addition to building confidence and commitment to purpose. Christians have an incredible leader in Jesus Christ. We can […]

Therefore We Will Not Fear

[…]and what had begun so quickly, was over just as quickly. We checked to see that everyone was all right. The houses on both sides of us had direct hits, and the house that we were in was damaged. But there were letters to be finished, so back upstairs we went and discovered to our joy that the enemy bombs had missed our writing room. I pulled the candle out of my shirt and lighted it. We were ready to begin where we had left off, but I had one resolve to act on before I wrote another line. Crouched […]

TTP – Character

[…]penalized herself two strokes. When asked why she did it, she replied, “Because I would have known.” It is this type of personal integrity that is needed in leadership. Integrity is characterized by doing the right thing when no one is looking. Leviticus 19:11 commands, “Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another.” When we fall short of God’s standard of integrity, we must acknowledge the shortcoming and correct it as best we can. We should not hesitate to ask for forgiveness. Trust is built by demonstrating character that is above reproach. To influence others, a leader […]

Wrestling with Depression

[…]you” (John 14:16-18). Stop focusing on what not to do, and turn your efforts towards doing the right things. Let go of the “shoulds” that are self-imposed or from others. Be honest about who you are and the struggles you face. Ask for forgiveness and forgive others. It lightens your load! When I think I am worthless, helpless, and hopeless, our Heavenly Father reminds me that I was worth the death of His Son on the cross. God loves me more than I can imagine–and He will never reject me or leave me alone. Jesus came to give us abundant […]

I ask You to forgive me of my sins. I believe that Jesus died for me and rose from the dead, and I accept Him as my Savior. Thank You for loving me. In Jesus’ name.

Finding certainty in an uncertain world

[…]free of worries. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you (vv. 8–9). Guard your mind. What governs your thought life? Paul’s instructions are clear—don’t allow the enemy to cloud your mind with all the negativity swirling around us. Train your mind to focus on the Lord. For the Warner family, when […]

How Should a Christian Live?

[…]teaches moderation. Just about anything to excess can be destructive. Most of the instructions on right conduct in the Bible are principles, not laws. While many of our decisions and actions to act contrarily might not be sin, they generally prevent us from enjoying the abundant life that God promises, from “being all we can be.” Over time we each learn that when we choose to act contrary to biblical principles there are consequences. Hopefully those consequences are as light as a hangover and not more catastrophic or hurtful to you or to others. Accountability, sound biblical teaching and dialog, […]

Impact Your Military Community!

[…]There is no other church body better situated to impact your unit for the kingdom. Selecting the right place to worship is a serious matter and is a de facto commitment of your gifts and time to build that portion of the Christian body. This article is not designed to cast judgment upon anyone fellowshipping outside of the chapel family. Where you fellowship is between you and God. However, my plea is that you prayerfully consider being a part of the chapel family. MAJ Douglas V. Mastriano (USA) recently completed an assignment at Fort Stewart, GA, as the 3rd Infantry […]
