"Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, f "Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!" (Psalm 107:21-22) Happy #Thanksgiving! This holiday is even more special to us as believers, because we know the Lord is the one to thank for every good gift He's given us. Among His countless blessings, we thank Him today for our members, volunteers, donors, conference centers, staff, and ministry partners. What are you thankful for? 📸: @ocf_navy @leavenworthocf @springcanyon @militarymissionsnetwork @wssocf @usmaocf Tom Falconer, USAFA OCF, NCR OCF #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
Usually read during Holy Week is this short, almos Usually read during Holy Week is this short, almost nondescript sentence from the Last Supper Jesus shared with His disciples: “And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” (Matthew 26:30, NASB). Some versions of the Bible footnote that the hymn was actually the “Hallel,” or Psalms 113-118. Noted for their spirit of thanksgiving and joy, the Hallel Psalms are sung especially at Passover because they mention deliverance from Egypt. It’s amazing to think that thanksgiving was in Jesus’ heart and on His tongue to His Father as He knowingly, steadfastly walked right into what it would cost Him physically, emotionally, and spiritually to procure salvation for sinful humanity. Within moments, those He had dined and worshipped God with—who He had just conferred a special place at His table and on thrones in His coming eternal kingdom (Luke 22:28-30)—would betray, abandon, and deny knowing Him. As we celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow, how can we follow Christ's example of giving thanks? #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith #thanksgiving
Throughout the New Testament, we see examples of b Throughout the New Testament, we see examples of believers gathering for mutual encouragement and teaching. Cornelius, a Roman centurion, did not hesitate to gather his relatives and close friends to hear from Peter about what God had sent him to share. In a sense this was the start of military ministry, a gathering of Gentiles hosted by a military officer (Acts 10:24). How are we to exhort and love one another deeply if we do not spend time getting to know each other regularly (Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25)? Just as commissioned officers bear the responsibility to lead the organizing, training, and equipping of military personnel, so too we ask OCF members to organize, gather, and facilitate the equipping of Christians in small-group Bible studies. You have military leadership skills and credibility, so be courageous and gather others with you to study the Bible. If no OCF fellowship exists, or if you are unable to join a group nearby, then “Tag! You’re it.” Practice hospitality, even if it feels awkward at first—you’ll get better with time. And you don’t have to do it alone or make it look perfect, simply open your home and life. Get ideas from those you know who seem to host well. Start your efforts with prayer, specifically a Pray-Discover-Obey, then focus on what will be a blessing to your guests. Spread the word that you are hosting a Bible study, get started, and keep meeting consistently as much as it is in your power to do so. If you've ever thought about starting a small group, visit the link in our bio to check out next steps in Chapter 13 of the #OCFHandbook: hosting a PDO, informing local chaplains, naming your group, and being consistent and prepared. #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
Jesus said that everyone who hears and acts on His Jesus said that everyone who hears and acts on His words is wise. That wise one will be the person all eyes turn to in the midst of tragedy and need. His or her response will generally tell all. “The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock” (see Matthew 7:25). Often, it is not the tragedy that determines the strength of our spiritual foundation; it is the aftereffects. The strength of our building materials will be revealed in how our life of faith is lived out. In the leader’s case, how we walk in view and out of view of the public’s eye will speak volumes about what we truly believe and the source of our strength. It has been said, “There are no shortcuts to spiritual maturity.” For the believer, the culmination of life changing experiences, hammered out through systematic, daily practices, produces maturity. This growth is undergirded by implementing God’s truths and by adding layer upon layer of foundational servant leadership. When I was a child, we played a game called “Follow the Leader.” As an adult, it is not a game. The world is watching, and those in our sphere of influence will follow our lead. Consider Jesus’ words: “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand” (see Matthew 7:26). In these days of rapid-fire media and handheld media devices, word travels fast. The servant leader’s challenge is to display a Christ-like response when life changing moments arise, and thus be seen as the “wise man” with a firm foundation. Consider these practices of one who strives daily to live a foundational servant leader lifestyle. 📖: #OCFLeaderDrawNear, Chapter 13.

"True rest is only found in Christ and drawing nea "True rest is only found in Christ and drawing near to Him through His Word." This was just one of many takeaways @waringtami shared after the OCF Leading Women Retreat wrapped up at @springcanyon earlier this month. Uniformed women, ranging from cadets through retired, gathered to dive into Matthew 11 and Hebrews 3 and 4 with speakers Col Krystal Murphy, USAF (Ret.) and Tami Waring, OCF Staff Representative for Women's Ministry. They all discussed how to find psychological rest in Christ, rather than simply physical rest, and they encouraged one another as fellow #womeninuniform. If you're a uniformed female officer, past, present, or future, and you'll be on the East Coast in the spring, don't miss the next OCF Leading Women Retreat, scheduled for 17-19 MAR at @wssocf. Stay tuned for more details. #OCFFellowshipFriday #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith

Military believers need regular encouragement… W Military believers need regular encouragement… We walk with one another in various relationships according to our time of life—some as sons and daughters, some as mothers and fathers, and some as brothers and sisters. The body of OCF finds empathy with one another in small groups, because the examples and stories that come to mind will often be those that spring from our common military environment. Few people outside of the military understand our situations fully, so there is great comfort in others who listen to us as we share using a common military language. Who better to pray for and encourage you than someone who is on the same mission, experiencing similar op tempos and stresses? Some people show up to a Bible study carrying a heavy load. They are tired and sometimes discouraged, and their faith may be struggling amid pressure. Life is simply hard. Others arrive full of such enthusiasm that their spirit can be blessedly contagious. No matter how someone walks into Bible study, your priority is to work for their refreshment, encouragement, and preparation so that they can be sent back out to serve the entire military society. Small spiritual depots should exist around the world, fueling the saints for new spiritual work. -#OCFHandbook, Chapter 12: Small Group Bible Study Visit the link in our bio to read about the whys and hows of OCF small groups, and visit ocfusa.org/directory to find a group near you. #ocfusa #militaryministry #militaryfaith
Leaders, in our zeal to do and accomplish, how clo Leaders, in our zeal to do and accomplish, how closely do we follow God’s divine guidance? Yes, we should have passion for our work, and we should thrive to do things in community with others. Read Zechariah 4:1-14. In context, Joshua the priest and Zerubbabel the governor are likely the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord. Returning home after seventy years, the formerly exiled children of Israel desired to see the temple rebuilt. As far as Israel was concerned, restoration of the temple was job one, a goal which the governmental heads and the spiritual leadership were willing to cooperate to achieve. Despite man’s best intentions and even focused passion, we are reminded that God has a divine perspective: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” So where do we, in our leadership zeal, draw the line when it comes to pushing our own agenda or totally acquiescing to God’s divine plan? Are we convinced that God has a plan, or do we “head fake” God by developing our plan then devoutly asking His blessing? 📖: #OCFLeaderDrawNear, Chapter 12.
