Time, Talent, Treasure: Retirees

[…]back when ministry opportunities present themselves. Pray that you will do the right things in the right ways for the right reasons and press forward trusting God for the results. Joe Orosz: Find and team up someone your age and with your passion, and start or further the ministry of OCF at a university’s ROTC or an installation with a need for OCF presence. Start with a Pray, Discover and Obey session. John Orosz: With the way military life works—PCSing all the time, deployments, etc.—OCF provides a easy way to fellowship and provide familiarity in unfamiliar situations. Based on my […]

Christian Leadership for the Junior Officer

[…]I should have been better informed, earlier. After informing the Battalion XO of my mistake, I immediately informed my Battalion Commander (now a General Officer) of my error and my plan to fix the problem. In return for a few minutes of discomfort, I gained the trust of my Commander–and I determined not to mess up again. I cannot guarantee that following these simple principles will bring you career success. But following them will allow you to serve effectively while preserving your good name. Who knows, maybe your good name will open doors for you to share your faith from […]

What Works for New Officers?

[…]TIP: Set aside specific time to pray for coworkers, commanders, subordinates, and issues. 7. KNOW and DO your job well. Only then will you earn the respect of your peers and the right to be heard (Col. 3:23, 24). Be reliable and take the initiative when opportunity arises. TIP: Avoid complaining. A common tendency in any workplace is to complain. Do your job as unto the Lord (Phil. 2:14, 4:11). 8. Decide now what kind of SPIRITUAL COMMITMENT you will require of a future mate. Will he or she have the same vision for ministry as you? After coming to […]

What you do and how you lead does matter

[…]life, you must not waver; you must wholly commit, completely surrender, “go all in.” Do the right thing at all times—“Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?” At the same time you’re being bold, be humble. Peters challenges us to act with gentleness, with a settled confidence in our souls. 2 Timothy 2:16 reminds us of the futility of getting sucked into stupid arguments. Our military training emphasizes the importance of the TEAM—battle buddies, the man or woman on our right and left, esprit de corps—in controlling or even banishing fear. The same is […]

Situational Awareness

[…]senior ranks. Where you previously led collections of soldiers, sailors, airmen, or marines you now lead other leaders. Once you dealt with personalities and individual abilities; now you deal with plans, policies, and resources for large organizations. You are in a strategic position. By virtue of your rank and position subordinates look to you to set the standard. The example you portray as a Christian leader has the ability to directly affect the personal conduct and eternal future of hundreds. Those hundreds may eventually impact countless numbers. You may be in a position to advise senior leaders on matters of […]

God, are you with me?

[…]locker with his fists. “God, are you with me?!” he angrily cried out. To his left and to his right the empty barracks echoed his plea. “Show me a sign. Please. Show me a sign. Answer me. Please. Answer me.” The neatly organized rows of bunks and lockers sat in silent repose beneath the cold ambience of the fluorescent lights overhead. Dark gray blankets and crisp white sheets, tightly stretched and tucked, left a choke-hold on each bunk. Deep inside he could feel this same choke-hold. His crying words had jolted the perfection of military order. A few other Soldiers, […]

[…]their memory, nor do I want to forget the honor I have to participate in this mission. We don’t know why their lives were taken so early, but we do know why they served-because they were called by their country and they answered the call. They served, knowing they would see danger and they would be away from family and home, but they did it selflessly. Please pray for their families and friends back home, that God will comfort them in their sorrow, knowing that these five soldiers did their duty […]

What is Required of Me?

[…]card” Christians-shallow, simple-minded clichés “Holier-than-thou” 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 […]

Staying Up Late

[…]you don’t have to.” I smiled and clapped my hand onto his armor-vest protected shoulder. “I know buddy,” I replied, “but it never hurts to get a visit of encouragement, right?” “You bet, chaps,” he said, obviously appreciative of the company. “It’s always good to see you.” For the next fifteen minutes, these two soldiers and I (there are always two on duty at night at each tower) talked about a myriad of things. I learned that one of them was going home in a few weeks for leave. His baby was not quite a month old when he deployed. […]

What Are Parents to Do?

[…]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 farewell and meet a few of his unit […]

What’s Your Altitude

[…]challenges, consider it a warning that you are getting too high on yourself. Your attitude right now is not like Jesus’ attitude. Lower yourself, push forward on the stick, and get yourself back to “nap of the earth” flying where Jesus Himself flew as the chief servant. Remember why we just celebrated Christmas. It is all about a great God who willfully humbled Himself by coming into our world through a manger–and eventually to a cross to be our ultimate example, and most importantly our Savior. As we start this new year, let’s strive to model His life in our […]

Superhero’s Faith

[…]What I want more than anything is to be fulfilled in life, and what I’m doing with my life right now is not fulfilling me at all.” Clark Kent is not who I really am, and yet I let him rule in my life everyday. I live as though I don’t even know that Superman exists. Clark Kent lives like everyone else in the world does, going through life almost mindlessly. I don’t want that. Superman, on the other hand, lives life to the fullest-he flies and stops trains and runs faster than a speeding bullet! He dreams and he […]

Ice Cream in Iraq

[…]I can tell you that the desert also gets pretty cold in the winter. The temperature here at night right now usually gets down to nearly freezing. However, in the summer time, it gets up to 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. 7. Are there a lot of camels running around? I’m pretty sure there are but I have never seen any of them. I’ll keep looking though! 8. Do you have any friends in Iraq?I have lots of friends here. Many of them are people I came here with when we left Hawaii. Many of them have children in school just like […]

On The Rock

[…]volumes about what we truly believe and the source of our strength. In these days of rapid-fire media, the leader’s challenge is to display a Christ-like response when life-changing moments arise, and thus be the “wise man” with a firm foundation. Act on the teaching of Scripture and help others to do likewise. Model biblical living and live out your faith in front of others. Serve as a ready testimony; realizing that in and of yourself, you cannot do anything, but through Christ, all things are possible. Display faithful actions that withstand the potentially destructive effects of adversity. Continue standing […]
