WSS Winter Retreat #4

[…]live a balanced life in the military. He said that the apostles and writers of the NT books all seems to be a bit extreme. That got me thinking about what I encourage students and permanent staff and retirees to pursue. I am usually found reminding believers to not be ashamed, to share in suffering, to endure everything for the sake of the elect, and to preach the Word. Have I missed something by using Paul’s words to Timothy in this way? Do the Scriptures speak of a balanced life where we can successfully weigh out personal, professional, marriage, parental, […]

Finding certainty in an uncertain world

by BRIGADIER GENERAL DAVID WARNER, USAF (RET.) Paul outlines three ways that Christians can adapt to a troubled culture   We answered the ringing phone awakening us at 0430 while on vacation years ago. On the other end of the line my vice wing commander quickly informs me to tear up the PCS orders I’ve had since March, orders that would have kept the Warner family in Colorado for another year. Now wide-awake, Lori and our two daughters are hanging on every single word of the one-way conversation they’re hearing. We’re to be at our new duty station in thirty […]

From Mid to Married to Mom

[…]junior year at the U.S. Naval Academy, my then-company mate and future husband invited me to a weekly OCF meeting, where I found several of my track teammates also attending. He continued inviting me, so we would meet up after dinner and walk together to the planetarium. We officially started dating one month after attending an OCF retreat at White Sulphur Springs, married fifteen months later, and were then both assigned to the same duty station upon our commissioning. But because of our conflicting schedules, during the first two years of our marriage we were together less than six months.  […]

Ice Cream in Iraq

[…]letters and I will try my best to answer them all: 1. What is the room like where you live and sleep? I have a very little room where I live and sleep. Mostly it is just a place to sleep when I’m not working. My room is probably smaller than your bedrooms. I have a bed, a small wall locker which is like a closet, a small dresser, and a chair. I don’t need much room because I spend most of my time at work. 2. What do you eat there?I eat very normal meals, much the same as […]

Impact Your Military Community!

[…]takes the stage, presents the Gospel and offers an invitation to accept Jesus. Meanwhile, fifteen volunteers from Fort Stewart’s Vale Chapel perform an array of “duties” in support of the event — everything from greeting the concert attendees to preparing and serving free cappuccinos. The event is called Petra Cafe and occurs monthly at Fort Stewart. Petra Cafe is sponsored by the chapel and is designed to reach the “unreachable” in our military community. Petra is Arabic for rock, which represents Jesus Christ. The concept is to bring in contemporary Christian bands to present the gospel to our service members […]

Implicit Trust

[…]in the ranks, alert to his Emperor’s plight and perceiving that the horse and rider were proceeding in his general direction, stepped out of formation and, springing into the path of the frightened animal, seized the bridle, brought the horse to a stand and replaced the reins into the Emperor’s hands. In recognition and reward for the soldier’s devotion, Napoleon said, as he secured the reins in his hands, “Thank you, Captain.” Without hesitation the soldier came to attention, saluted his imperial master and inquired, “Of what regiment, sir?” Charmed by the soldier’s complete faith and unquestioning confidence in his […]

Leadership and the Christian Officer

[…]the limits of the material means given him, the effectiveness of a unit depends to maximum degree on the leadership ability and practice of the commander. The military system of discipline is an essential foundation, but the extent to which it succeeds in obtaining the best results depends upon the commander’s own personality. The commander must win confidence and loyalty by his own acts. No one can do this for him. While he does certain things with the deliberate intent of gaining optimum control over his unit, and the maximum effort from it, his acts must nevertheless not be a […]

Predicting the Future

by LTC Jim Karr, USA (Ret.) While practicing my profession in my second career as a financial planner, I frequently discussed with clients the role that life insurance played in a sound financial plan for the future. I was taught that the alleged origin of modern day life insurance traces its roots from the Code of Hammurabi, circa 1780 B.C. Hammurabi was a king and ruler from the Babylonian era who developed a code to live by. This code of 282 laws was one of the earliest examples of a ruler publicly proclaiming to his people an entire body of […]

Situational Awareness

[…]you are a pivotal element in our society. By chance of birth you live in the gap between the modern and post-modern eras. The modern era existed from 1500 a.d. until about the time you were born. The industrial age reigned supreme. Truth was determined by the scientific method. Life consisted of laboratory-like certainties. Biblical laws were not always followed, but right and wrong were clearly defined. In commerce, tangible items like buildings and machinery were the valued commodities. Contrast this with the post-modern era generally coinciding with the information age. Portable assets such as information, expertise, and other intellectual […]

Spiritual Battle Plans

[…]from one’s normal Christian “life-support” structure: Sunday School, Chapel/Church, a weekly Bible study, a weekly or daily accountability partner, and so on. I didn’t fully realize what a difference these events made in my personal walk with the Lord until I went nearly four months in Iraq without them. I had only occasional, encouraging phone calls to family and to my Christian brother, Jonathan Shine, a fellow commander and believer of like heart. I found that my individual walk with the Lord suffered. I saw that God truly made us to be relational creatures. Hence, one of the natural effects […]

Spiritual Success

[…]in your Bible study write out his or her testimony. Share one with the group each week. Understand what OCF is all about. Promote the encouragement that can be gained from a group coming together to worship Almighty God. Participate in OCF retreats and conferences. White Sulphur Springs and Spring Canyon offer continuous programs such as retreats, family events, and Rocky Mountain High. Use OCF as a meeting place to network with Christians on your base, in your unit, on your ship. Post updates on the Internet. Consider journaling your walk with God. Include prayer requests and answers. Remember that […]

Stretchmark Sorority

[…]all have in common? In addition to stretch marks and tales of extended labor, there seem to be certain things we share in this special sorority of motherhood. We all reach moments of revelation in our lives when we suddenly realize, “I sound just like my mother!” Many of us swore it would never happen. One of the first times that occurred to me was when I heard myself saying to my children, “Because I said so, that’s why!” Moms have a very important job teaching safety rules. It is our responsibility to impart eternal truths to our children because […]
