It Didn’t Surprise God

[…]to experience many blessings through the course of Heather’s treatment, three are prominent. First, God’s sovereignty was impressed upon our hearts. What appeared as calamity when cancer was first diagnosed did not surprise God at all. I still hear the words of Bill Farley, a godly mentor, telling me, “This didn’t surprise God. He knew about this since before the beginning of time.” Imagine that–the same God who designed the interior of atoms, who fashioned the heavens and earth, and who made man in His own image–knew this would occur. In the midst of the unknown, I felt His peace […]

Keep the End in Mind

[…]apart productive, and insured that we would stay in pace with each other. Near the end of that first letter I reminded Larry of what a friend had written in his Bible. “No Reserves! No Retreat! No Regrets!” I continued: “Give yourself fully to the work of God there. Don’t turn back when things get hard. Move away from regret and on to victory.” Those are good words for us spouses as we face deployment after deployment. Move away from regret. Look to the future victory when you can tell others how God strengthened you. Three Simple Steps A unified, […]

Speak my language

[…]him is what makes me feel most loved. But because we didn’t know this about each other when we first married, our efforts at expressing love often fell short. Here’s what happened:   Jocelyn: When Rob was out at sea, my love tank felt depleted. Every time he returned, I wanted to just soak up time with him—just us. So when he wanted to go hang out with friends right away after returning, I felt hurt and unloved. Rob: We had been assigned to a little town in Alaska where I had already spent two years on a previous Coast […]

Starting an OCF Small Group Fellowship

[…]available on this OCF website to help you–so take your time and look around! After the First Meeting After the first meeting you’ll have a better idea of what the group prefers/needs. Is childcare an issue? Find a creative way to mind the kids while the adults study the Bible. Is proximity to dinner a problem? Think about having a potluck prior to starting the Bible study. In the workplace, maybe a “brown bag” study during the lunch hour will help. Most often, studying a book of the Bible works best. You can quickly learn (as a group) how to conduct […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: Retirees

[…]occasional home cooked meal- while also mentoring cadets and midshipmen one-on-one. Gwynn Vaughn first heard of OCF while attending the Army-Navy banquet, and later led Bible studies as a West Point cadet, attended OCU conferences, and was at Spring Canyon’s first-ever summer camp season in 1962. The Vaughns also serve as Spring Canyon Advisory Council members. Feeling “especially burdened for those in the military, ” over the years the Vaughns led chapel Bible studies, mentored couples and ministered to West Point cadets. “Both of us came from chapel-going families, but neither one of us really heard about Jesus there,” said […]

With the Love of a Clanging Cymbal

[…]was now completely replaced with sorrow, for him and for my response to him.    In his first letter to the church at Corinth, Paul pens arguably the most eloquent passage on love anywhere in the Bible. It’s almost impossible to go to a wedding and not hear the thirteenth chapter read as part of the ceremony. If, as the passage states, love is patient and kind, bears all and believes all, where was this type of love in my exchange with my friend?  My conscience, no doubt under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, drew me to the first […]
