How does the Lord see you?

[…]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 and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have […]

Man of the In-Between

[…]my computer–and smile. There are no sheepskins there. But there is a faded Ranger school diploma and an old set of Vietnamese jump wings. And pictures of young men. Hal Moore said it best, “We were soldiers once–and young.” We were soldiers for a lot of reasons. One of them was the “bully syndrome.” Many years ago, as a young boy in a cozy little neighborhood in central Washington state, I learned a valuable lesson. Our neighborhood bully, Jimmy C., would never stop throwing dirt clods and using strong-arm tactics to terrorize smaller children. Yes, we complained. In fact, we […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]is certain and what is important, though, is that Jon was greatly touched in his heart and encouraged in his faith by a humble janitor who lived out his faith on a moment-by-moment basis. Hank, a middle-aged man when Jon’s brother, Al, met him as a cadet half-a-decade earlier, loved cadets and loved sharing his faith with them. As cadets would come and go to the field house for various athletic events and team practice for track and other sports, Hank would “catch” them individually, either in the locker room or on the field house floor. He would gently but […]

Spiritual Battle Plans

[…]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 separated from one’s normal Christian “life-support” structure: Sunday School, Chapel/Church, a […]

Waging Another War

[…]tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). The objective in successfully battling lust was in learning to build three perimeters of defense-with the eyes and in the mind and heart. Two such tactics were “bouncing eyes” (Job 31:1 —I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman), and “taking thoughts captive” (2 Corinthians 10:5 –-we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ). And a third perimeter was in the strengthening of their affections for, and the commitments […]

What Are Parents to Do?

[…]to bring the entire family. Although the time with Darren was short, and we knew the return to Afghanistan would be mentally tough for a period, we remained excited to hear of his work and his challenges. And we prayed, and prayed, and prayed. If you make the Most High your dwelling–even the Lord who is my refuge–then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your […]

Christian Leadership for the Junior Officer

[…]your job well and will be delighted to assist you. All you will need to do is sincerely ask for assistance and then discipline yourself to listen. Ability to Work with People. Nothing is sadder than someone who displays the required knowledge for his or her job but lacks people skills. Do learn names–first names if appropriate. Learn something about your co-workers–where is each one from? What does each one do on his/her time off? Does he/she have a family? Again, learn to listen actively. Finally, avoid discussions concerning politics, and other “touchy” subjects, perhaps including religion, for a time. […]
