A day in the life of OCF

[…]is also on the road, heading for an OCF dinner at another installation.  In Colorado, General Warner has an appointment with the King of the Universe, seeking Him first before tackling today’s diverse itinerary: budgets, speaking engagements and an extended East Coast trip. Sixty miles to the south, with Bible, journal and coffee in hand, Steve Wade is “talking to God about those I minister to before I talk to them about the God I love.”  Back in Kansas, several OCFers at the discipleship breakfast are now discussing the speaker’s encouragement to be an available mentor; others are talking family […]

How does the Lord see you?

[…]of Jesus for someone who’s ready to receive Him. Editor’s note: With this article, General Warner begins a series exploring our relationships with God and others. Only when we begin to understand God’s immense love and sacrifice for us, can we love and serve Him and others with all our hearts. In future articles, General Warner will delve into how other people see you, how you see others, and how you can apply your God-given calling to your daily life in the military […]

The Five Myths of Mortgaged Rental Property

[…]cannot be foreclosed on if your financial situation changes unexpectedly. As financial expert Dave Ramsey says “100 percent of foreclosures happen to people with mortgages.”  Myth #4: I can depreciate my rental property and take a tax deduction You can deduct the “depreciation” of your house every year on your taxes. However, when you sell it you will also have to pay some of that back to the IRS because it now counts as income, costing a homeowner more than $10,000 in taxes after the sale of a property.  Myth #5: I can deduct the interest from my mortgage on […]

The Lord—your refuge in a high optempo

by By Brigadier General David Warner, United States Air Force, Retired When’s the last time you had more than an hour—thirty minutes— to yourself to be still? And not napping, catching a movie, or having a quiet dinner with your spouse, but an uninterrupted period of time just enjoying being in the 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 […]

What you do and how you lead does matter

by David B. Warner, OCF Executive Director   Congratulations to the OCF Class of 2012! We who have gone before welcome you to the profession of arms and the start of your great race the Lord has set before you. Crossing the threshold, you now carry two commissions simultaneously: one conferred on you from our Commander in Chief and one from the King of kings.    You are now a Christian officer. Notice that “Christian” is in the adjectival position; your Christianity is preeminent and modifies, shapes everything else you do. As you launch out on your race, you can […]

Let His Light Shine!

by David Warner, OCF ED In the early days of sailing, prior to generators, the question of how to illuminate the space below deck was an issue. While whale oil and kerosene lamps provided some light, sailors had to endure the smell and fumes.  Some enterprising seafarers came up with a suitable answer–a deck prism.  This six-sided crystal was flat on one end and came to a point at the other. After cutting out a hole in the deck, the deck prism was laid with the pointed side down, refracting the light from above into the dark spaces below. My […]

My Early Christmas Gift

by Brig Gen David Warner, USAF (Ret.) The little boy stares at the clock for the millionth time wishing for the school day to come to an end.  His mind wanders again to thoughts of his Dad who is somewhere in Pakistan, serving at an Air Base he couldn’t pronounce, let alone spell.  Although his family recently celebrated Thanksgiving, his father’s absence left a void, robbing him of reliving favorite moments of the past with his Dad:  tossing the football in the backyard; pulling on the wishbone; and snuggling together as they watched and slept through a Cowboy’s game.  With […]

Unity of Command

[…]the unified command of our spiritual CINC–Jesus Christ. The authors Neil Anderson and Timothy Warner wrote, “A good soldier learns to follow orders, for his own sake as well as the sake of his fellow soldiers.”2 As there is UOC in the military, spiritually there must also be UOC. The military instills pride into its subordinate units, yet these units are never allowed to be so proud that they neglect higher loyalty to their headquarters and leaders. We could think of the church as having subordinate units too. Some Christians may want to identify with Martin Luther, John Calvin, John […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]only think about why he had gotten himself into this mess. Ready to quit then and there, Dave wasn’t sure about this new guy. “Jon warmly introduced himself saying something like ‘we can make it if we work together,'” Dave remembered. “My first impression was formed when he announced that he prayed every night, hoped we had no difficulty with that, and then proceeded to kneel in prayer by the bed.” Dave also found it fascinating that Jon never failed to read his Bible every day during his cadet experience. Learning to deal with the pressure was one of the […]
