Some Thoughts for Christians

[…]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 our minds to viewpoints on those issues which we ought […]

Service Separations

[…]station is precisely where God wants them. It follows, then, that times of separation are part of God’s will for our lives and must be accepted as such. Commit not only your own life, but also that of your husband into the loving hands of your heavenly Father, accepting whatever His will may be. If you can get past that point, the rest is easy. When my husband, Jerry, once went to war I had the normal thoughts in the back of my mind What if something happens to him? What if he’s killed? It would have been nice to […]

How Should a Christian Live?

[…]of the state. The power of reason, through which we search for God’s existence, is itself a sign of God’s creation. Our ability to think is a sign of God’s character because He is the source of all reason. You are at the season of life where you are naturally beginning your own moral and ethical search. If you are not in a stressful time, it’s probably because you’re not paying attention! If there is any poverty in the discipline of philosophy, it is in taking a purely intellectual approach to the subject, which never demands a personal commitment to […]

Letter to My Sergeant

[…]another prey (1 Peter 5:8). How should a commander respond to a soldier charged, then convicted, of such crimes? God allowed the eyes of my heart to see you through the filter of His love and to respond to you with the love and compassion of Christ. An ageless military axiom comes to mind — soldiers never leave their wounded or dead on the battlefield. These words apply here, and they have added urgency on the spiritual battlefield. You should know that your soul is just as precious to God as anyone’s, even after all you have done. It may […]

Three Words

[…]danger you will often be afraid. But knowing that nothing can “separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus,” and that “to be away from the body and at home with the Lord” will give you confidence in your mind to help overcome the fear of your instincts. Knowing that things do not happen to Christians by accident, and that you are under His protection will help calm your pulse as you move out on your first combat patrol. This confidence will help you do your duty as an officer–which is to do whatever is needed, […]

Six Generations: 2

[…]furnace but were kept safe by the “fourth man in the fire…who appeared like the Son of God.” Though always a popular Sunday School story with younger ones, the trials, faith and courage of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego inspired Jon in his own daily faith. He wasn’t ashamed or hesitant to share that inspiration with his fellow cadets. Again, his firm stance on living unashamedly as a Christian is another example of choosing the harder right over the easier wrong of just going with the flow and not making one’s faith a lightning rod for others to criticize. Special Inspection […]

Waging Another War

[…]purity were having a positive impact. The need was there. And God provided for the need as men of character stepped forward to help their fellow Soldiers. The men learned about the pitfalls of viewing sensual images, of how exposure to them is comparable to a drug addict getting a fix. Men get a chemical high from viewing sexually charged images through the hormone epinephrine that’s secreted into the bloodstream. Whatever stimulus is present at the time of the emotional excitement becomes locked into memory. The unchecked male tendencies of tolerance to mixed standards of sexual purity, rebellious nature, and […]

Undivided Heart

[…]resembling those guided by the Holy Spirit? At the heart of these queries is the consideration of the root of one’s conscious choices (actions). Our options are to allow the “spiritual self” or the “old nature” to dictate our decisions. David asked that he would know God’s ways and walk in His truth. Is it possible to discern right judgment without knowing the truth? James 1:8 says: A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Surely, as Christian leaders, our desire is to show compassion with an undivided heart–one that rightly discerns truth with reverence and awe of the […]

[…]educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character…” (italics added). The other U.S. service academies have similar missions. Lieutenants and ensigns from every commissioning source are primed to hit the ground running as leaders of soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, or coastguardsmen. Every job that every commissioned officer does is a leadership position. True, some officers want to be technicians and hide from responsibility, but the fact is that they are all commissioned to lead. From platoon leader to battalion supply officer to Chief of Staff (and equivalents for the other […]
