For All Leaders

[…]are. Be competent in your profession and give God the glory. David, one of the greatest warrior-leaders of all time, provides us an outstanding example in Psalm 144:1, “Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.” David demonstrated excellence as a warrior and glorified God in the process. Let those you lead know early on that you are a Christian. You can do this in several ways. Symbols in your office can reflect your faith, but your words and actions will make your Christian character evident to all over time. Expect […]

My Early Christmas Gift

[…]to adequately thank you, and not enough money to compensate you for the gift you provide each one of us…a blanket of freedom in which we can worship our Heavenly Father and the birth of His Son! During this season of giving and celebration, we say a prayer of thanksgiving for you and your families and praise the Lord for men and women like you who have willingly answered the call to serve our nation and our Lord.  As we give thanks to our Heavenly Father who loves us so much that He would sacrifice His one and only Son […]

Spiritual Success

[…] only person to whom a soldier or sailor will listen to about Christ. Be the “aroma of Christ” (2 Cor. 2:14-6). Never do anything to cover up that aroma in an effort not to offend anyone. Ultimately, you will be the fragrance of life to those who are being saved. Develop healthy relationships. Seek out like-minded Christians and participate in a chapel, a church congregation, a Bible study, or para-church organization. Read the Bible and pray daily if possible. Do it like Physical Training. Find a prayer partner to get with every week. When you are given the opportunity […]

TTP – Vision and Leadership

[…]“Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’.” That is the foundation of integrity-say what we mean, mean what we say, and do the right thing even when no one is watching. From verse 13 of chapter 15 of John’s Gospel, Jesus tells us, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” That illustrates service before self for all time. We pledge to lay down our lives for our friends, our nation. That’s what we do. In addition, according to Paul in his epistle to the church at Ephesus, chapter […]

Waging Another War

[…]integrity for men. Every Man’s Battle, the men’s study book I chose to use, promotes Bible-based abstinence through God’s word: no pornography, adultery, sex outside of marriage, or masturbation.  The battle of sexual integrity is won only by achieving sexual purity. As defined in Every Man’s Battle, sexual purity is “when no sexual gratification comes from anyone or anything but your wife.”i God’s standard for sexual purity is straightforward, “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity”(Ephesians 5:3). Once the books arrived, via donations from my church, I began […]

We Honor Them

[…]the Honor Guard moved to lift each case. At this time the Commander and I saluted (ceremoniously-a slow, three-second move) as they moved the case to the open doors of the hearse. We did this for each soldier being honored. Then one last salute as the hearse started to drive away. We all then followed, in step, the slow moving hearses back towards the morgue where they will process the soldiers’ remains for transport home to their final resting places. Further, when the cases arrive and depart the morgue, all the morgue workers come outside to stand at attention and […]

What’s Your Altitude

[…]month I had the unique opportunity to sit in the cockpit of a C130 as it took off and flew out of Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. When the plane was making its climb over the mountains, I heard a female voice say, “Altitude. Altitude.” Pilots know that this is a warning they are starting to get too close to the ground. When the voice warns them, they respond accordingly. Followers of Jesus Christ need to listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice when it warns us, “Altitude. Altitude.” But as Christ’s followers, this is not a warning we are getting […]

Italy – Naval Air Station Sigonella

[…]nights from 1800 to 2030-ish. “Come when you can, leave when you need.” This is a community of Officers, Enlisted, Civil Service, and Contractors; single, married and families; Navy and USAF. We meet in a home in a gated community north of NAS Sigonella. We fellowship, eat, study/discuss the Bible, and pray together. The fellowship is based around loving God and encouraging one another (and their children) to live out the Gospel in their personal and working lives. Mature teens enjoy watching the younger children, in the same home.  (Another OCF group meets close to base, at the Marinai Housing […]

The Five Myths of Mortgaged Rental Property

[…]that will go to the bank rather than your pocket.  And it’s important to remember—a paid-off property cannot be foreclosed on if your financial situation changes unexpectedly. As financial expert Dave Ramsey says “100 percent of foreclosures happen to people with mortgages.”  Myth #4: I can depreciate my rental property and take a tax deduction You can deduct the “depreciation” of your house every year on your taxes. However, when you sell it you will also have to pay some of that back to the IRS because it now counts as income, costing a homeowner more than $10,000 in taxes […]

What is Required of Me?

[…]the author identifies four kinds of Christians that caused him to recoil from the faith: “In-your-face” Christians-inopportune, uninvited “drive-by shoutings” “Greeting card” Christians-shallow, simple-minded clichés “Holier-than-thou” Christians-smug, self-righteous, better than others “Cosmetic” Christians-skin-deep faith, no change in behavior, attitudes He then defines a fifth: the Christians who had the biggest impact on him and were a factor in his journey to know the Lord were the “Costly Christians” who lived their lives in a way that demonstrated their faith without regard to the personal costs.[iv] Should we evangelize throughout the military society? The answer is absolutely yes, but when and […]
