Heroes

[…]you do is not about you. It’s about serving others. Everything you do is about taking care of others. It’s one of the reasons why a military career is so fulfilling. You have chosen a profession that fewer and fewer people in this country understand. Don’t waste time worrying about this–just do your duty with excellence. As an officer you have been given one of the greatest responsibilities that can ever be bestowed–trust for the sons and daughters of America. From the moment you set foot in a unit you will be expected to lead these soldiers. Their lives depend […]

How does the Lord see you?

[…]gone before in His power, to reach out to others with encouragement and engage in their lives. One of my favorite stories of obedient servants boldly stepping forward to answer God’s call to serve is the biblical account of the prophet Isaiah. He accepted the Lord’s commission to warn Judah about impending Babylonian captivity because of sin. Isaiah understood how God saw him and that his sin had been dealt with, “your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for” (Isaiah 6:7-8).

Immediately the soldier lay down his arms, left his compatriots and passed over among the officers of Napoleon’s immediate staff. “What do you want here?” one of them asked, haughtily. “I am a captain in the Emperor’s Guards,” was the response. “You, a captain! Who says you are a captain?” “He said it,” answered the soldier, pointing in the direction of the Emperor riding in the distance, and immediately he was accepted by the officers as one of them. This was simple faith and trust on the part of the soldier. He believed his Emperor’s word and acted accordingly. […]

Leadership Came Naturally

[…]to salute anything that moved, and I was still in that mode. I’d developed a certain fear of officers, some of whom were certainly deserving of such fear. Not Tom. It was Tom Hemingway that I met, not LIEUTENANT Hemingway. I wanted to know why a robust, confident and clearly capable person like Tom chose to hang out at a Christian bookstore on a Saturday afternoon. Weren’t there more interesting things to do? When he told me the bookstore was an interesting place for a committed Christian I wanted to know more about that too. He had a magnetic personality […]
