Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers
[…]gifted or placed to do, or something God intended to be done isn’t being done. COLOSSIANS 3.23, ROMANS 12:11. Your work has intrinsic value to God. He expects you to do your best in your work (not necessarily to be the best among your peers). A specific uniqueness of OCF is that we encourage our members to see their work as their ministry, not a place of competition. The concluding section of this booklet speaks to this. THESE PRIORITIES will often seem to compete for your time and attention. There will be a time when your work will place extremely […]
Service Separations
[…]“But how do I develop this wonderful positive attitude?” A verse I often remind myself of is Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (New Living Translation). This doesn’t mean that everything that happens to us is good! I don’t think any of us would jump for joy when the washing machine breaks down, or break into a song of thanksgiving when our child comes down with the chicken pox! We may not feel like thanking God for […]

Six Generations: 2
[…] letter from Vietnam in which Jon shared what became Jon and Gail’s favorite verse–Romans chapter 8, verse 28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (the verse on the plaque at Fort Shine). “I remember as if it were yesterday,” Paul recalled. “I felt the power and significance of what Jon was writing me. 2LT Jonathan Shine, U.S. Army, was saying in what proved to be his last letter to me, ‘no matter what happens in Vietnam, I know it is going […]
Spiritual Battle Plans
[…]your spiritual gifts; we grow when we do (1 Timothy 4:14). Make no provision for the flesh (Romans 13:14) Take care of your personal needs (sleep is crucial). Sneak a few minutes of relaxation when possible. Exercise as regularly as possible. Some of my assumptions regarding my deployment to Bosnia have, thankfully, not been true thus far. I have been blessed with a Christian brother and with a weekly church group. However, God is still providing opportunities for my spiritual growth through the implementation of these measures. I am thankful for His provision and for the Christian brothers and sisters […]

The Jungles of War
[…]with Those Who Weep Very clearly, God’s Word spoke from memory. “Weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15) and “Comfort all who mourn.” (Isaiah 61:2) So I sat down with a small, frightened, seven-year-old girl and wept. Marine captains don’t cry in the movies, but in the horror of war they do–if they are to maintain the dignity of God’s image in man. At that moment, being certain of my call to serve our Lord as a Marine was crucial. Knowing that God’s Word didn’t allow me to protect myself with the calloused hardening of the world was a key […]
The Line Officer and the Chaplain
[…]much deeper understanding of how they can help you and a better rapport with them as individuals (Romans 12:10). This will greatly enhance the spiritual ministry that takes place in your command. Your prior experience with chaplains will enable you to reinforce one another rather than compete or conflict. Your guidance to chaplains, and your response to their advice, will be wiser and more effective. You’ll have a quicker grasp of the chaplain’s professional role, responsibilities, and constraints. Finally, since you’ll have this background, you’ll be able to focus more time on getting to know the chaplain personally. A chapel […]
