Impact Your Military Community!
[…]There is no other church body better situated to impact your unit for the kingdom. Selecting the right place to worship is a serious matter and is a de facto commitment of your gifts and time to build that portion of the Christian body. This article is not designed to cast judgment upon anyone fellowshipping outside of the chapel family. Where you fellowship is between you and God. However, my plea is that you prayerfully consider being a part of the chapel family. MAJ Douglas V. Mastriano (USA) recently completed an assignment at Fort Stewart, GA, as the 3rd Infantry […]
Letter to My Sergeant
[…]is just as precious to God as anyone’s, even after all you have done. It may be difficult to see now, but God is working His plan of justice and mercy through the pain and sadness. I don’t know where you are in the cycle of sin we see in the book of Judges (sin, suffering, seeking, salvation), but hopefully you noticed the witness of the Christians in your chain of command. We didn’t put you in a box. Rather, we encouraged and supported you and your family. We treated you with respect, since in America, you are innocent until […]

May A Christian Serve in the Military?

Mortal Enemies
[…]read and read—and eventually came to understand that the Bible’s message was relevant to him right there in his cell. The dynamic power of Christ changed DeShazer’s attitude toward his captors. His hatred turned to love and concern, and he resolved that should he be liberated, he would someday return to Japan to introduce others to this life-changing book. Looking for Answers The peaceful motivation I read about was exactly what I was seeking. Since the American found it in the Bible, I decided to purchase one myself, despite my traditional Buddhist heritage. In the ensuing weeks, as I read […]
Re-entry Reminders
[…]ahead of your spouse’s return about radical changes in your physical appearance (once a redhead now a blonde). Communicate about changes in discipline of children. Assume you’ve both been faithful to one another unless strong evidence indicates differently. Then seek wise counsel. Be open about changes that have occurred in your life–spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Avoid “who had it worse games.” Remember intimacy and sex are not the same thing. Accommodate, accommodate, accommodate. Meet small requests–like eating favorite foods three times a day. Listen, look, listen. Take it easy. Let things happen naturally. Old problems don’t disappear. Take time to […]
Service Separations
[…]had left the room, the wife turned to me and said somewhat jokingly, “I guess what we need right now is another tour of sea duty!” Other couples have testified that separations resulting from the career had helped to keep their marriages fresh and alive. Communication need not suffer because you and your husband are apart. It can even improve. I’ve already mentioned the value of tapes, e-mail or videos. Many have found that they tended to share and discuss things, both spiritual and otherwise, in greater depth on tapes than they did face to face. For one thing, how […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain
[…]Finally, since you’ll have this background, you’ll be able to focus more time on getting to know the chaplain personally. A chapel ministry offers a springboard for expansion for Christ’s kingdom within the military. In the two to three years you spend at a duty station, you can mature in your own Christian life and witness among military people so that you’ll be more effective as a professional officer and as a spiritual leader. What is your vision for the expansion of Christ’s church? Does it include people from all corners of America, from all cultures of mankind, and from […]
The Power of Prayer

The Role of Faith
[…]or war will deal with its members’ fears. People often turn to God during crisis. In the media coverage during recent missions, there were constant public references to prayer and looking to God for help. Faith gives people the hope and courage they need to get through trials. The realization that you have no control over your circumstances may draw you to God for the first time, or possibly back to God. “The power is in the Person to whom faith clings. . . . The great things that come about through crisis are not the result of ‘great faith’ […]
Therefore We Will Not Fear
[…]and what had begun so quickly, was over just as quickly. We checked to see that everyone was all right. The houses on both sides of us had direct hits, and the house that we were in was damaged. But there were letters to be finished, so back upstairs we went and discovered to our joy that the enemy bombs had missed our writing room. I pulled the candle out of my shirt and lighted it. We were ready to begin where we had left off, but I had one resolve to act on before I wrote another line. Crouched […]
Through A Glass Darkly
[…]They’ll forget whatever they learn at this age, but later when they get older they’ll get to know him. As a result of this thinking, many of God’s delightful toddlers begin their framework of life without the security and knowledge of a God who’s bigger than any thunderstorm or imagined monster in a closet. Parents wait until they’re older, but no one is really sure when that time is. Suddenly they find out that when Jason or Jessie is older, he’s far too cool to be interested in our Father. As mothers and dads, we have a wonderful opportunity to […]
Fervent Desire for Peace
[…]fullness of His Kingdom, will we be free to lay aside–for all time–the weapons with which we now defend peace. In the meantime, in my office I have a precious reminder of this comforting Messianic promise. It is a weapon– turned tool– now retired. Robert Stroud is a Lutheran pastor who serves as a chaplain in the United States Air Force. His father, Sergeant Major Charles Stroud, a veteran of Korea and Vietnam, retired from the United States Marine Corps. Charles Alley served in the Fifth Iowa Volunteer Cavalry, the same regiment as Chaplain Stroud’s great grandfather. Stroud hosts a […]

Leadership without Coercion
[…]a brother but expected the same from him as from any other drill sergeant, we got along fine. I know of one other drill sergeant who reacted to my statement. He was not a Christian, and he decided to watch me to see if I lived up to my words. That’s the scary part of identifying yourself as a Christian-you put yourself on display. This was one of our best NCOs. We eventually sent him to be an instructor at the drill sergeant academy, a reward for and testimony to his character and performance. Three years later we had both […]
