Professional Excellence (Durfey)

[…]during World War II. Prisoners who used what little energy they had to serve others and to take care of others’ needs showed themselves to be physically and psychologically stronger than those who did not. In putting others’ needs before our own, we will stand out as different or peculiar. No doubt, a leader who understands all God’s creatures are worthy of respect will become the subject of much observation. Modeling servant leadership is one of the greatest testimonies one can give. Jesus goes even further by saying, “Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and […]

Question Authority

[…]question you, and you shall answer me.'” (Job 38:1-3). From my experience, most leaders don’t care to have their decisions challenged. This is particularly true, I believe, when the pace is fast and compliance must be immediate. In our leaders’ devotion this morning, someone commented, “There are some things you are not supposed to understand.” This was certainly the case with Job. For all of Job’s righteousness, one might question whether Job deserved to suffer and, if he did, should he at least have been given insight as to why. As we strive to live out our faith in our […]

Speak my language

[…]at sea was, “Oh great, I’m just a handyman now.” And I’m not very handy! If she had taken care of those chores without me—even if that meant hiring a plumber or electrician—I would have felt much more loved. She just didn’t understand my love language.   Now that we understand our love languages, Rob makes a point to spend consistent quality time with me, and I am more than happy for him to have guy nights without me. In turn, I manage the household and cook for him as an act of service, even if I could be happy […]

Spiritual Success

[…]for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Josh. 1:9). LTC Randy Carey USA (Ret.) has a passion to see young officers get hooked up with OCF. His last active duty assignment was at Wheaton College, preparing young men and women to become competent leaders in today’s military. Randy is now Midwest Regional Director for Project MedSend, a Christian organization that offers educational loan repayment grants to health care professionals, freeing them for service in medical missions. His best friend and wife Beth, and their three boys, Ryan, Tyler and Max live in Wheaton, […]

Staying Up Late

[…]nor sleep” (Psalm 121:4). And I was grateful for another day to serve Him who protects and cares for these unselfish, untiring, dedicated men and women who protect our freedom. CH(CPT) Don Williamson, USA, is currently assigned to the US Army Chaplain Center and School at Fort Jackson, South Carolina attending the Captains Career Course. In January he will move to Fort Carson, CO to be assigned as the 759th Military Police Battalion chaplain. Join him in praying that God will sustain soldiers who are growing weary. Originally printed in the Summer 2008 issue of […]

The Role of Faith

[…]the Lord’s hands. When we move out in the job that the Lord has called us to do, He will take care of our families, especially if His call requires separation.”8 Worry about the family back home is one of the greatest concerns military service members face, but many families find that sharing in letters how faith is active in their lives helps ease that concern. Finding things to thank God for helps keep attitudes positive. Remember that God is with you anywhere you go, even in the most isolated place the military may send you. When you’re away from […]

Two Greedy Institutions

[…]comment, “I need to feel that we are on the same team.” From the officers: Work on making career decisions together with spouses. We want and need her input. a. She is the “helper suitable” that God gave us (Gen 2:18-25). b. She has insights we do not (especially regarding the needs of the children). 2. The process of the decision making is often as important as the outcome, especially including the importance of praying together. How can the officer show his love and the priority he gives his spouse and children when in a very demanding billet? Communicate, communicate, […]

Walking

[…]in prayer, the Spirit along with us will take hold of the problem and it will be properly taken care of. Thus we become dearly beloved workers-together with God every step of the way. Difficult but triumphant is this life in Christ. Let us continue walking in the Spirit in the train of His […]

What you do and how you lead does matter

[…]assignment in Florida. With a vision for outreach into the local community, he wanted to help care for the homeless.  So he launched The King’s Sheep, a team of OCF members who team up with a local church. They are making an impact!  Never underestimate the impact of one man or woman, like the one above. These are consequential times, and what you do and how you lead does matter. “When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me” (Psalm 138:3). My prayer is that the Lord will EMBOLDEN you through the ministry of OCF. Lead on! Be ready! […]

Why We Serve

[…]future family seems obvious. We work to provide for those whom God has directly entrusted to our care. But God has also entrusted to us a larger family. This responsibility also requires our service or work. In Ephesians 2:8 Paul said, “He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.” We are all doing something that is not only “useful,” but critical to our Lord and nation. None of us are “stealing” but I hope none of us are […]
