[…]Daniels, we can’t be covert about our faith, and must not be ashamed of the name of Jesus. Using wisdom and discernment throughout our lives, we are told to be bold and courageous. Jesus has called us to take a stand in such a time as this. Laying low, and compromising are outside of our calling. In taking a stand, you may pay a high price, but in the end, your trust and faith must be in Him. So, as Jesus said, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16) in these times of challenge. […]

[…]God is LORD and ruler over all. His ways are unsearchable; they defy humanity’s thoughts and wisdom. So should we question God’s authority? Regardless of how righteous the question might seem, of how strongly I might feel about an injustice, or of how merciful I think God should be, I would be wise to consider the Holy Scriptures and to pattern my questions and concerns after Jesus’ response while here on earth: Pray. When Jesus was anxious, He prayed. “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Mark 14:34). Desire God’s will. “Abba! Father! Everything is possible […]
[…]deployment and re-entry issues. Ilene Stubbs offers suggestions–and the timelessness of God’s wisdom–for managing the process of reunion and readjustment. Normal has changed for everyone. Be patient–it takes time to get into a routine. Soldiers haven’t been on a vacation. Expect your household to be different. Keep life as routine as possible. Take time to re-adjust to one another. Go slowly. Communicate feelings. Anxiety is normal. Discuss frustrations. Accept that we are all different. Initial discomfort in adjusting doesn’t mean your spouse is unhappy with you or the family. Communicate ahead of your spouse’s return about radical changes in […]
[…]eye out for the pirate boats as the cargo ship steamed towards Kenya. I prayed constantly for wisdom during the transit. The grace of God lay thick upon us as we traveled towards the Port of Mombasa. Once safely in port, we spent the next few weeks in Mombasa waiting for the crisis to end. It came on Easter Sunday when Navy SEAL snipers effected the rescue of Captain Phillips. Our “Alabama Eighteen” made a loud scene when we heard the news — extremely happy for having a part in one of the best-coordinated rescues ever conducted at sea. Our […]
[…]chaplains, priests, ministers and missionaries get killed too, for whatever purposes God in His wisdom allows. And I knew that he would be in the field with Marines where the fighting would be heaviest. But I thought I had that all pretty well settled with God. If He wanted to take him home at this point in time, I could trust Him and accept it, no matter how hard it might seem. Then one night I read a magazine that had pictures and graphic descriptions of men who had come back alive, but were little more than vegetables. It told […]
[…]You may be in a position to advise senior leaders on matters of importance. Seeking God’s wisdom and applying it at the right time can steer the actions and attitudes of thousands. Emotionally your career experience has seen unprecedented change. Your life has spanned the dependable pace of the Cold War, the revved up tempo of the 1990s peacekeeping and stability operations, and now the frenzy of the Global War on Terrorism. More than modernization, your byword is transformation. Each branch of service is undergoing major shifts in organization and culture. The impact of continuous change can leave service members […]

[…]because it’s smart. No, you would do the math to determine if the car is affordable. Biblical wisdom instructs us “the borrower is slave to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7). By taking on debt in the form of a mortgage, we are introducing additional risk to our lives. Here are common pitfalls associated with owning a rental property and some ways we can be wise stewards of the resources God has given us: Myth #1: My tenants pay my mortgage Many property owners mistakenly assume that as long as a tenant pays the mortgage, they’re making money. But in reality, after […]
[…]Christ’s loving person-hood” possessing a “rare combination of great intellect and biblical wisdom with winsome humility,” said Jeff. The sharply pressed military uniforms Jeff Silliman, Joe Orosz, and Kit’s husband, Gwynn, once wore in their active duty days have hung in the back of the closet for years now. Retirement is in full swing. But in God’s economy, His call to serve Him never rescinds. It’s all about impacting future generation for Christ, and extending invitations to come along on the journey by declaring, “…Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come” (Psalm 71:18).

by CDT Peter Dyrud, USAFA “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! ‘Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?’ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen” (Romans 11:33-36). We know this place too well… Living in a State of Wonder When did we stop living in a state of wonder? Remember when we first […]
[…]Seek out someone who will hold you accountable. 3. Decide now WHOM YOU WILL SERVE (Josh. 24:15). Will it be the Lord or yourself? Why are you in the military? Have you ever thought of yourself as a highly paid missionary? TIP: Be the thermostat and not the thermometer. Effect your environment-don’t let it affect you. 4. If you get to your unit and can’t find a BIBLE STUDY, start one! See whom the Lord sends your way. Get support from your chaplains. Ask for their advice; they may even be able to buy study guides for your group. Start […]
