[…]with my hobbies, family, and interests the fact that I am a Christian. I said I wanted them to know what shapes my values and behavior. I told them that, although I prayed that each of them would be a Christian because I believed that would be the best thing for them, that my judgment of them would be based on their performance and conduct alone. Their spiritual interests would have no weight in any decisions or fitness reports. Soon after, one of the drill sergeants put me to the test. He identified himself to me as a Christian, and […]
[…]rumors going around the platoon that Staples was into drugs, both using and pushing, and we were simply waiting for an opportunity to catch him in the act and remove him as a bad influence on the other young troops. Now, I figured, was our chance. I suspected he was calling from the jail downtown and needed me to bail him out. “Sir,” the young soldier continued, “I went to South Carolina this weekend with a friend from our platoon and met someone while I was there. I met Jesus Christ and gave my life to Him. I was wondering […]

[…]in 1996 because of the erroneous accusation that he was wearing two medals he was unauthorized to wear. Elijah and Admiral Boorda were two great men motivated to end their lives because of shame. We inherited shame and fear from Adam and Eve, hiding from God and each other since that painful day when Adam chose to disobey God (Genesis 3:6-10). But through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, we are reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:17-21) and the war has been won through Jesus. But until the fullness of that victory comes, we are engaged in spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12). […]

[…]too, will be tempted. God will not be overcome by the challenges or temptations we face, so if we turn to Him, we can feel safer, too. His representatives, the chaplains or ministers we look to for guidance, remind us that we don’t have to be afraid, and they help us direct our attention to God. When you feel overwhelmed, turn to the Lord Himself. As you cultivate your relationship with God and feel the encouragement of your chapel or place of worship, you will be more equipped to deal with separation. “I encourage you to lean on someone during […]

[…]relationships. My current unit is the 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion from Ft. Carson. While we were in Colorado, the Lord once again let me lead singles’ and family conferences in the beauty of the Colorado mountains. I also helped lead worship in Prussman Chapel is. We are currently in Afghanistan for a year. Here, the Lord lets me lead a small congregation and visit our warriors throughout East Afghanistan. In all my units, the space between my chaplain assistant and me has shortened, as well as the space between us and those in command and on staff. Individual counseling […]

[…]a walk around the forward operating base (FOB). At several locations along the wall, we have guard towers that are manned 24/7. I made my way over to one of them for a visit. As I got closer, one of the guards shined his red lens flashlight at me. “Who goes there?” he asked. “It’s the chaplain,” I responded. “Oh, hey sir!” the soldier said, surprised. “What brings you out here so late at night?” Climbing up the ladder to the tower, I said, “Well, it’s a nice night out, so I decided to check up on some of my […]
[…]duty assignment, to a Bible study at their home. Newlyweds Jeff and Grace Silliman were invited to OCF’s Spring Canyon conference center by their Sheppard AFB, Texas, OCF leaders, and were spiritually impacted for a lifetime by much-beloved OCF Bible teacher C.N. Tokatloglou (Mr. Tok), “a living example of Christ’s loving person-hood” possessing a “rare combination of great intellect and biblical wisdom with winsome humility,” said Jeff. The sharply pressed military uniforms Jeff Silliman, Joe Orosz, and Kit’s husband, Gwynn, once wore in their active duty days have hung in the back of the closet for years now. Retirement is […]

[…]turned out that year, not one of our group suffered adversely in academics. On one occasion, we were unable to meet due to scheduling conflicts. Jon wrote a personal note to the members apologizing. His note to me was brief and to the point, yet spoke volumes.

[…]a walk on a deserted dusty road” (my paraphrase). Phillip obeys the angel’s voice and he is vectored to an Ethiopian government official ready to hear the words of salvation. In much the same way, as chaplains walk among the tents, eat in the chow halls, and ride in the convoys, the Lord vectors them to those whose hearts are prepared to hear and receive the eternal message of […]

[…]a mission at Dover Air Force Base on the coast of Delaware. I thought I would describe to you how we welcomed home five of our fallen heroes. The Army designates a General Officer to meet every airplane that returns home carrying the remains of our Soldiers-a “repatriation of remains.” I received the duty and honor today, getting the call early this morning as the contract Boeing 747 lifted off from Ramstein Airbase in Germany, with the remains of five soldiers killed in Iraq this past weekend. We quickly arranged for the helicopter to take the Army Honor Guard (from […]
[…]of trouble. He protects us from the “arrow that flies by day” and will guard our steps as we seek to do the right thing (Psalm 91:5). b) It’s always a good thing to pray with the knowledge that the Lord hears the prayers of the righteous, casting all our cares upon Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). The prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective (James 5:16). c) Always wear your Kevlar with the Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17). P.S. The soldier recovered well and attended the next chapel […]
