Leadership by Example

[…]will take their real cue as to your trustworthiness from your own actions, hour by hour, day by day, battle by battle. As Marshall stated, the responsibility of the officer truly is “exceptional and unremitting.” So my advice this morning is simple and straightforward. Moral character is the one thing the Army cannot give to you; you have to develop it within yourself. To be sure, the Army will give you repeated opportunities, with excellent guidance, to develop such character, as have your parents and friends over the years, and even more recently this educational institution and the ROTC program […]

Rescue on the High Seas

[…]successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:7-9). The very next day those words became my sustenance as the Bainbridge received a frantic distress call from the Maersk Alabama crew. When our XO told me that […]

Unity of Command

[…]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 Wesley, T.D. Jakes, Rick Warren, or others. Those subordinate leaders should never get the fierce loyalty and following that […]

Child Evangelism

[…]name in place of “the world.” 2. Show the child his or her need of a Savior. Deal with sin carefully. There is one thing that cannot enter heaven–sin. Be sure your child knows what sin is. Ask him to name some (things common to children–lying, sassing, disobeying, etc.). Sin is doing or thinking anything wrong according to God’s Word. It is breaking God’s law. Ask the question “Have you sinned?” If the answer is no, do not continue. Urge him to come and talk to you again when he does feel that he has sinned. You may want to […]

Financial Responsibility for Children

[…]there were a few overdrafts in their college years, eventually they seemed to get the hang of it. There were a few times (and still are) when the difference between our balance and the bank’s was off a few dollars and cents. Our children are now grown. I am convinced the experiences of their high school years have yielded solid financial training and an appreciation for the value of money. By God’s grace we hope to have raised four good stewards who will contribute to the needs of the kingdom and who will be saved the painful lessons of our […]

Lead Your Child to Christ

[…]name in place of “the world.” 2. Show the child his or her need of a Savior. Deal with sin carefully. There is one thing that cannot enter heaven–sin. Be sure your child knows what sin is.

Therefore We Will Not Fear

[…]blankets on the floor. A month passed and some of these men joined our Bible study, and shortly thereafter, I was transferred to a Heavy Weapons company. One Sunday after chapel service out in the field I started to walk back to my billet when I realized that someone was walking on my left. I looked around and found a boy by the name of Russell, who said he wanted to talk to me. I invited him to walk on with me, and as we continued, he told me that he had been one of the men to whom I […]

Finishing Strong, in Iraq and Life

[…]what was started and what the ending result should look like. As New Testament Christians, we are aware that God desires His children to finish strong-in our daily endeavors and all the way to our last breath on this side of eternity. I believe this encouragement to finish strong is because of what He began in us. It is something so wonderful that He admonishes our cooperation with Him daily, so He can finish what He started. From what we see in Scripture, His “final product” is vastly superior to anything we could ever muster for ourselves. At every stop […]

I Only See Green

[…]Christ and by praying for the strength to love one another unconditionally. Racism could end in a day. That day when all of God’s children accept Jesus Christ as Savior and vow to try to live up to His teachings. People would know that we are all created in the perfect image of God (Gen 1:27). We all descended from Adam and Eve so no matter what race we are, we all come from the same blood (Acts 17:26). God wants to save all mankind, not just one race or two. Jesus showed in many ways that race did not […]

Stretchmark Sorority

[…]underwear” categories. Only the former receives prompt medical attention. And there are principles of good nutrition. If you drink all of your milk, it will make your hair curly (or straight, depending on which style you don’t have but want very badly). Cleaning your plate somehow keeps a starving child in a distant country from going to bed hungry that night (think of the starving Martians and eat your spinach!). Developing strange dietary habits throughout the years, moms hide in bathrooms to eat chocolate, and they test out special “treats” on Mother’s Day. I remember the year our girls decided […]

War on Spiritual Terrorism

[…]tried to instill in them in the way of confidence to perform under fire. Everyone will be scared, but there is a difference between scared or frightened and fear. Fear will dominate judgment. Those who don’t have an appropriate relationship with their God and an inner strength to live and function a day at a time in combat will be dominated by this […]

What Are Parents to Do?

[…]His sovereign protection as Darren begins another deployment to a combat zone. Yes, the anxiety is there, the unknowns are great, and we can do nothing about his situation–at least by ourselves. But we can, and do, seek God’s loving embrace of Darren and his unit, and pray unceasingly that God will grant them safety, good health, strength, courage, and success in their mission. He is truly in God’s hands now. There were so many uncertainties as Darren began his first deployment. We were unsure of the environment and the type of operations he would be involved in. Our minds […]

The View from the Top

[…]it wasn’t that tough. The guides’ encouragement was more than enough to keep me motivated. On day one we tackled the vertical wall climb, mine field, and low rope exercises — both with and without blindfolds. In addition to being great fun, they helped us with team building. The following day we climbed up steep rock walls and rappelled down even steeper cliffs. What an adventure — exhilarating and exhausting. Once you’ve rappelled down an 80-foot vertical cliff, you feel like you can do anything. Next we conquered Mount Yale — one of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. We took three days […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]in professional development classes and counseling sessions, in front-line combat, or in the day-to-day routines of office work — non-believers and Christians work together with the common goal of contributing to the security of our nation. The close relationships that grow out of these situations may offer opportunities for Christians to share spiritual truth. Many times they have been used by the Holy Spirit to draw people to Christ. Nonbelievers think of the chaplain as one who is “paid to talk about Christ.” They usually don’t perceive the Christian line officer as a “professional” Christian. For this reason, your testimony […]
