The Jungles of War

by LtCol Tom Hemingway USMC (Ret.) How well do you reflect the gospel in the pain-filled eyes of a frightened seven-year-old girl whose grandparents you just helped kill? This is not merely a rhetorical question. I had to rip the answer from myself one day in 1965 as I stared into those terrible eyes at a devastated village in Viet Nam. Moral dilemmas are by no means the private territory of men at war. However, wars do provide acute crises in moral and ethical decision-making. During two tours as an infantry officer in Viet Nam, as well as service in […]

Six Generations: 3

by COL Barry Willey, USA (Ret.) Final Act of Courage The citation to Jon’s posthumous Silver Star for gallantry in action described his actions: “During the initial contact, Lieutenant Shine was seriously wounded. Despite his wounds, Lt. Shine immediately began placing suppressive fire on the enemy positions, thus allowing his men to move to cover.” His words to “Doc” Jackson seem clearly intended to keep “Doc” and the other platoon members focused on Joe Roberts for the few moments that he engaged the enemy. Jon, thinking only about his men and acting on their behalf, perished when the enemy returned […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

by LT Bill Weimer, CHC, USNR As a former line officer who is now a chaplain, I’m glad to share these heartfelt comments with Christians serving in our Armed Forces. I’m confident that it’s God who has called each of us to our roles in ministry and that Jesus Christ expects us to be salt and light in the military commands to which He has assigned us. Ministry of the Line Officer A Christian line officer serves with his or her personnel daily in all kinds of situations. On field maneuvers, in hangar bays and electrical repair shops, on adventure […]

For All Leaders

by Col William J. Shirey, USAF (Ret.) Editor’s Note: Although written for commanders, the advice rendered is appropriate for all leaders. “No one from the east or the west, or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another” (Psalm 75:6-7). Congratulations! God has exalted you for command. What a privilege to lead men and women in the defense of our nation. The following TTPs are humbly offered with the hope and prayer that something included might help you bring glory to our Lord as you serve. Pray for […]

How does the Lord see you?

by Brigadier General David Warner, USAF (Ret.)   Your relationship with God begins with His unfathomable love   Not many of us give much thought to that question on a daily basis. And truthfully, some days I may not really want to know the answer. But knowing how the Lord sees us is something we must consider because the answer dramatically affects our calling. First, it is imperative to understand: God sees us through the lens of His unfathomable love. No matter what we‘ve done or will do, He loves you and me so deeply that “he gave his one […]

Some Thoughts for Christians

by COL Al Shine, USA, Retired What is the relationship between Christians and politics? What are our duties as citizens, first of the Kingdom of God, and secondarily, but not unimportantly, as representatives of that Kingdom to and among the kingdoms of men? After studying Scripture, history, and current events, my conclusion is that God is neither Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative. I believe that in most elections and issues of political policy there is no clear-cut biblically Christian position, and to assume that there is: Divides the church along lines for which we have no biblical mandate, Closes […]

Spiritual Battle Plans

by CPT Bryan Groves, USA Ambassadorship is skillfully and independently accomplishing vital tasks in a foreign land on behalf of, and in accordance with, the general guidance of a distant Sovereign.   For Christians, this is the very essence of our life on earth. God is our Sovereign and our citizenship is in heaven, but we are commissioned to be His ambassadors and to carry His message of reconciliation to the world (2 Corinthians 5:18-20, Philippians 3:20, Matthew 28:18-20). One facet of godly ambassadorship and of message carrying is godly living. Living a God-honoring life is even more difficult when […]
