Fervent Desire for Peace

[…]weapons become so closely associated with the military that their very image evokes a strong connection. The crossed sabers of the cavalry, for instance, were not used only during the eighteenth century. They retain their significance for Army “cavalry” units today, long after the retirement of horses from military ranks. To students of military history, the weapon most closely associated with the Marine Corps is the kabar. “Kabar”is the familiar name of a knife which accompanied Marines around the globe during the Second World War. Its muscular build and vicious blade elicit images of fierce hand-to-hand combat. My father served […]

How does the Lord see you?

[…]with God begins with His unfathomable love   Not many of us give much thought to that question on a daily basis. And truthfully, some days I may not really want to know the answer. But knowing how the Lord sees us is something we must consider because the answer dramatically affects our calling. First, it is imperative to understand: God sees us through the lens of His unfathomable love. No matter what we‘ve done or will do, He loves you and me so deeply that “he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not […]

I Only See Green

[…]by putting our hearts and eyes on 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 […]

Impact Your Military Community!

[…]contrast between civilian churches and the military chapel can be significant, making the decision on where to fellowship difficult. Civilian churches often provide an exciting worship experience along with established outreach and family programs. Chapels usually have small congregations and few outreach ministries. But, the reason for chapel shortcomings usually rests with us. If more Christians supported the command chapel program, it could also have dynamic programs and outreach opportunities. If you want to conduct outreaches that impact your unit, you need the chapel. Location and command “sponsorship” are the vital links. The chapel is not only strategically located where […]

Leadership Q&A

[…]Every Christian officer needs a friend in the faith to hold him/her accountable, hear confession, offer prayer cover, and encourage us through the struggle. Even Moses couldn’t do it alone (Exodus 17:10-13). He had Aaron and Hur help him in the midst of a desperate battle against the Amalekites. We also need such support. There are a lot of temptations to compromise your testimony. Your wing-man in the struggle will help you overcome these. For me, this faithful partner has been, and remains, my wife, Rebecca. She is my confidant, advisor, friend, and accountability partner in the fight. I could […]

Professional Excellence (Durfey)

[…]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 whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.” He also said, “Give and it shall be given unto you.” A leader must give respect before he can expect it in return. The Coast Guard’s third core value is devotion to duty. Once again, let us look at dictionary definitions: devotion means strong love or affection or an act of prayer; […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]year, when all the upperclassmen return from their summer duties, trips and vacations, Jon confronted me while they stood in formation ready to march to the dining hall for dinner. His simple question to me as I stood at a stiff position of attention, chin well to the rear, was, “Cadet Willey, would you like to participate in a Bible study in the company after duty hours?” Somewhat taken aback, but pleasantly relieved that there were other Christian believers within the Corps of Cadets, I muttered a quick, “Yes, sir!” That brief encounter changed my life. A relationship had begun […]
