Keep the End in Mind

[…]“Keep putting the positive spin on everything. Really get involved with the chapel program. Seek to invest yourself into the lives of other men. What an impact you have made in the lives of the men here! Do that at your deployed location. Be consistent in your Bible time; that encourages us greatly and builds you up. Get aggressive with the must do’s (whatever they are). Set goals again–short and long-term–so we can be ready when God shows us what’s next. Memorize Philippians 4:8 on the plane.” The words I wrote to Larry were ones I had to put into […]

Leadership by Example

[…] friends over the years, and even more recently this educational institution and the ROTC program within it. Thus you already have much to draw on morally. But the fact remains that that wellspring of moral excellence and courage resides only within each of you; you have to choose, consciously to lead morally by setting yourself as the example every soldier in your unit should follow, as my brigade command did for me, and I did for my soldiers in Vietnam. And that, leadership by example, is the deepest privilege and the most profoundly moral obligation that the commissioned officer […]

Man of the In-Between

[…]warrior spirit must be righteously nurtured. There is a necessary place for it in a liberal arts program. A thousand years after David faced the giant at Elah, the greater son of David demonstrated the warrior spirit when he climbed a piece of high ground called calvary and faced off with the champion of evil, the bully of all bullies. Warrior that He is, our Christ stood between us and all that would destroy us, deliberately taking the full fury, and shedding His own blood for the rest of us. And, while the outcome was secured at calvary, our Savior’s […]

Ministry Snapshot

[…]bearing fruit.  IV. Time, Talent, Treasure: ROTC Every year the Reserve Officer Training Corps program launches several thousand newly commissioned officers into the operational military.  V. Time, Talent, Treasure: Warrior Forge Before Army ROTC cadets can be commissioned as second lieutenants, they must successfully complete what is now known as the Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC), a training event developing their leadership skills while evaluating their officer potential. Once held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, LDAC —Warrior Forge—now takes place at Fort Knox, […]

OCF and Leadership

[…]the OCF Europe conference is exercising leadership. Coast Guard cadets running the children’s program at White Sulphur Springs Conference Center during the Easter retreat are exercising leadership. A colonel who has been selected for promotion to brigadier general acting as the registrar for a LEAD! is exercising leadership. An area coordinator organizing the leaders of all Christian ministries at the installation is exercising leadership. Our chief means of encouraging and equipping officers for biblical leadership and effective ministry is-and will remain-the small group. I get really encouraged when I see the young officers leaving Pensacola eager to get involved in […]

The Lord—your refuge in a high optempo

[…]presence of the Lord?   Last summer I took part in OCF’s Rocky Mountain High outdoor leadership program. After a two-day trek, on the eve of summiting a 14er in the Rockies, we reached timberline. This marks the time and place where everyone stops—to catch their breath and take time to be quiet and listen to God. Freeing myself of my loaded backpack, I separated from my fellow hikers and sought solitude, finding a place among the outcropping of rocks to sit. From this vantage point, I was moved by God’s splendor and majesty in His creation– a stunning waterfall […]

TTP – Platoon Leader

[…]the best option. People know where I am on Sunday. I volunteer with the Chapel Youth program in my free time. I give God credit for good things that happen in my life and express faith in Him when things go downhill. I make sure my life leaves no room for the “Sunday Christian” comment. I am always ready with an explanation of my faith, but no one asks, and I don’t push. The Lord knows I am not perfect, and I am sure I am far from the “ideal standard” of Christian Leader Outreach, but that is the system […]

War on Spiritual Terrorism

[…]of military science at a state university prays for the cadets in his reserve officer training program, and for those he recently commissioned who are serving in combat zones of the war on terrorism. An infantry platoon leader fighting in Iraq devotes his daily devotions to pray for the men in his platoon that they may have divine protection and be spared from injury or death. Both pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to the hearts of those they mentor and lead to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Common Ground Both of these leaders recognize that […]
