Getting Intentional in Your Marriage

[…]permission to ask each other difficult questions. If you don’t, who will? Challenge, support, and encourage deeper spiritual growth: journaling, Scripture memory, extended time alone with God, fasting… Ask yourself: How am I serving my spouse today? Is he or she on my “calendar” or “to do” list? Extend grace- daily. Forgive and ask for forgiveness. Think the best of your spouse’s motives and intentions. In the Book of Acts, we are introduced to a married couple that moved in tandem, seamlessly serving others with humility and excellence-Priscilla and Aquila. “When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to […]

It Didn’t Surprise God

[…]need. It began with an e-mail message, followed by updates as events unfolded. The outpouring of support was incredible. Each step of the way, our Christian and military families lifted us up. Letters, e-mails, and cards poured in. People cooked meals for us. Most important was prayer. We were especially covered by prayer the day of Heather’s surgery. It was an experience of peace, even when Heather was rushed from post-op back into surgery to close a bleeding artery that swelled her neck with blood. But it was far more than just peace in the hospital. Many people have prayed […]

Know Your Rights!

[…]audited Financial Statements to anyone who needs greater detail. Know what the programs you support are accomplishing. We feel that this is critically important. We try to communicate what the Lord is accomplishing through OCF through COMMAND magazine, thank-you letters, the executive director’s quarterly letter, and other communications. Know that the organization is in compliance with federal, state, and municipal laws. A major help with this is the independent CPA firm that annually audits our accounting methods and procedures. Experienced with not-for-profit organizations, the firm is invaluable in making sure that we comply with all applicable laws. Restrict or designate […]

Leadership by Example

[…]and deliberately unconditional, a whole of five parts. In sequence you will swear: To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. To bear truth, faith and allegiance to the same. That you take this obligation freely, without mental reservation or purpose of evasion. That you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter. So help me God. So, what obligation flows naturally and concisely from this oath? What is the obligation that you are assuming, that you can never take off or lay […]

Leadership Q&A

[…]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 not have made it without her. Q: What do you know now that you wish you had known when you were a newly commissioned officer? A: We are serving in a culture increasingly unwelcoming to […]

Service Separations

[…]of the most important things is to let your husband know clearly, firmly, and often, that you do support him in the career to which God has led him. Reassure him that while you don’t enjoy being separated any more than he does, you realize this is a part of his work and you gladly accept it. How many careers and marriages have we all seen go on the rocks, simply because wives could not or would not adjust to the demands of their husbands’ jobs? Encourage your husband. Remind him that you are praying for him, that he will […]

Six Generations: 2

[…]week, in the evening, down in the basement of the cadet barracks where the quiet atmosphere supported a discrete study of the Bible. Participants, including members of the company other than Plebes, had to obviously be willing to sacrifice a portion of their evening that would have otherwise be devoted to studying for the next day’s academics. As it 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 […]

Soldiers of Faith: Washington

[…]today even suggest that Washington was a deist, though there is no scholarly evidence to support such a claim. These historians further claim that it was Washington’s luck, combined with Yankee ingenuity, bravery, and tactics that allowed America to prevail as a nation and garnered Washington a place in history as a great commander. Certainly, ingenuity, bravery and good tactics were in evidence, but Washington prevailed because of a good deal more than luck. Clausewitz’s assertion that the moral force embodying the commander, creates the virtue of the army and the national feeling, had validity in the history of the […]

Some Thoughts for Christians

[…]and order in societies of sinful men. Further, conspicuous by its absence in Scripture, is clear support for a particular form of government. What strikes me is that these matters which seem so very important to us seem not so to God. God knows the human heart, and though not unconcerned with the structures we set up to govern and interact with each other, He is far more concerned with our relationship to Him and the work of His Church. Knowing our limitations, God knows that whatever political systems we set up, we’ll mess them up. Conversely, no matter how […]

The Heartbeat of OCF

[…]prayer, and to hear the Gospel. The Bible is read, studied, and applied. And mutual compassion and support through the many trials and heartaches of military life is rendered with love, understanding, and compassion. Starting and Becoming an Effective Group The important thing is getting a group started so there is a safe place where you can encourage one another to acts of love, service and Christian maturity.  As commissioned officers and Christians in the Armed Forces of the USA, most every one of us can find a wingman to pray with about starting an OCF group.  Once you have […]

The Jungles of War

[…]numerous casualties from mortars and small arms fire from the south end of a village. We requested support from the U.S. Air Force. After marking and target confirmation, two F-4s dropped their ordnance–napalm and 500 pounders–on the target. Enemy resistance stopped. My unit secured the village without further casualties. Everything was done very professionally. All was well until, as we moved into the area hit by the air strike, I encountered my first civilian casualties of the war. They were an old man (over 70) and his wife who had been too feeble to leave the south end of the […]

The Space Between

[…]Mission, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_Scale) In my first active duty unit, the 68th Corps Support Battalion at Ft. Carson, Colorado, the space was shortened by several things. The Lord let me lead a family conference, which helped people get closer to each other and to Christ. Provider and Prussman Chapels were where the Lord let me preach and help people grow in their relationship with Jesus. My unit deployed to Kuwait for a year. Preaching there was another chance to help people with their spiritual growth, as well as using the Alpha Course for discipleship, and living our lives the way the Lord […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: OCF small group fellowships

[…]Whether they meet before/after duty, or during lunch, OCFers come together in Christ’s to support and encourage each through Bible study and prayer.   Navy submarine lieutenant Mark Treen believes God has given him a rare opportunity to be a missionary to those he lives, works and eats with in the ocean depths, an environment where the difficulties crew members face are more acute. The challenge, he says, is “letting Christ’s light shine when you feel like you’re surrounded by darkness,” and instead trusting in Christ’s promise that, “the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should […]

Unity of Command

[…]CINC. There is no bloodshed, no military coup or insurrection. Rather we see Americans uniting in support of our country even in difficult times. We live in changing and dangerous times. We see and experience economic woes and instability in our country and globally. We deploy continually because of political, economic, military and religious problems. Our military is in the cross hairs of various religions and religious groups vying for power and control in their countries and regions of the world. Welcome to the world in which Adam forfeited his authority to Satan. It’s a mess and seemingly getting worse. […]

You Are Commissioned

[…]members, new challenges and assignments may seem even more difficult. Without a built-in family support system that travels with you, you not only have the challenges of military life, but you may have to find a whole new set of Christian friends and new sources of fellowship. Since you are “commissioned” to enter into this battle, you can expect the unexpected. Every battle has its crisis. The question is, “When crisis enters into your life will you view this as a time that may seem unfair, unexpected, and just to be tolerated, or will you view this as a challenge […]
