Professional Excellence (Durfey)

[…]God in all our day-to-day dealings is critical to a successful life. This includes our family life, relationships, finances, and church life as well as our recreational activities. The Coast Guard’s second core value is respect. We as Christians are called to be “need meet-ers.” This is the crux of being a servant leader. If we can put aside our own personal agenda and our own needs, we are much more likely to see others’ needs more clearly and have the time and energy to meet them. Respect, or sensitivity, toward the needs of subordinates, peers and superiors will help […]

Leadership Came Naturally

[…]did for his son Absalom, we will see him again. We’re also left with profound gratitude for his life. A life well lived that will continue to be a “guidon” for those who knew him, or even knew about him. I thank God I was privileged to meet him in that bookstore so many years ago and am able to follow his example through life.   Editor’s note: Tom Hemingway, a servant of the Lord, died suddenly in August of 2000. This article, on the fifth anniversary of his death, is a remembrance by a good […]

How Should a Christian Live?

[…]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 any worldview. A variation of this poverty is to act the chameleon, being both double-minded and having a double set of ethics, depending on the […]

Service Separations

[…]the one thing they overwhelmingly emphasized as being invaluable–aside from their own personal walk with Jesus Christ–was Christian fellowship. Again and again they said, “I couldn’t have made it without my Christian friends and their fellowship.” I wholeheartedly agree. The importance of this cannot be overstated. I don’t think it’s enough just to attend a local church or chapel. You need the close intimate fellowship that only comes from a small group. It may be a prayer and fellowship group from church or chapel, such as your local chapter of Protestant Women of the Chapel (contact your chaplain’s office for […]

Child Evangelism

[…]With children, wait for God’s conviction. If the answer is yes, continue. He may even give a personal illustration of some sin he has done recently or one that has bothered him. Tell him what God says about sin: We’ve all sinned (“There is not one righteous, not even one,” Romans 3:10). And because of that sin, we can’t get to God (“For the wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23). So He had to come to us (“but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 6:23). Relate God’s gift of salvation to Christmas […]

Leadership Excellence

[…]inspiration drawn from my faith in God. I honestly believe that the Lord has worked mightily in my life, that He has guided me through the toughest of life’s challenges, and that He is responsible for any success I’ve enjoyed. In peace and in war, I have confidently gone to the deep well of my faith in hard times, and I have always found sustenance and comfort there. My experience has convinced me that spiritual faith-faith in God-must become the solid bedrock of an individual’s character. While the leader must demonstrate the highest standards of conduct and, ideally, personify the […]

Further insights from Mike and Angie Moyles

[…]weren’t any procedures in place should a couple decide not to terminate an unborn child’s life. …Cancer and sovereign God… No question God can heal me. Did God give me cancer? Yes, I believe He did. Romans 8:28 says all things work together for the glory of God. It took a decade and-a-half to reach this place in my life: God will use me in ways I’ll never know. Testimony at church or speaking to a group. During a chemo treatment. My blog. On a podcast. I have to rest in the assurance He will do that—and I may never […]

The Jungles of War

[…]disturbing. I’d thought about it before, but seeing these young men die bravely in the prime of life, and realizing that my Savior had given His life as much for them as He had for me, was most unsettling. I began to ask, “What can I pray for in regard to my enemies and my work that will make sense?” I struggled with this question for several months, but nothing was resolved. Try as I might, I couldn’t make sense of my calling, my feelings, my day-to-day actions as a front line infantry officer. In June of 1966 this came […]

You Are Commissioned

[…]moments are often divine appointments.” Life is not intended to be easy here on earth, but life is not god; the Lord is life and we can have it abundantly. But in spite of any crisis you encounter, as a Christian, you should have hope. The apostle John says, “…for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” As a family member or military member, you were “commissioned” in our Army, […]

Will you embrace the Christ of Christmas?

[…]our sin, mankind’s need for a savior, that heaven and hell exist. But He also requires a personal response—from every one of us-to the gift of eternal salvation He extends. A gift that only He could purchase—with His blood at the Cross of Calvary. Now that cooing infant lying in the manger has gone from preaching to meddling. But what to do about Him? Nearly two millennia have passed since His brief life on Earth, and all the attempts to silence Him or His message of salvation have failed—and always will. As the late Dr. S.M. Lockridge said in his renowned “He’s My King” sermon: “I’m […]
