Predicting the Future

[…]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 laws, arranged in orderly groups, so that all subjects might read and know what was required of them. The code was carved on a black stone monument eight feet high; it was discovered in 1901. The code then regulated in clear and definite strokes how society should be organized. Yet, Hammurabi’s code is not really the earliest. There are some indications […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

Your relationship with your children PSALM 127:3-5. Children are a special gift from God. A military professional knows arrows are weapons of war that must be given particular care.

How Shall We Pray?

[…]and trying situations, if we cannot for the moment see God’s purpose in them? First, by taking them as from God, and asking ourselves what reactions to them, and in them, the gospel of God requires of us; and second, by seeking God’s face specifically about them.” The Apostle Paul had a thorn in the flesh which the Lord addressed by saying, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” J. I. Packer frames our challenges in similar terms when he says, “They will have been sent us to make and keep us humble, […]

Will you embrace the Christ of Christmas?

[…]storage for another year. But the unopened package—the Christ of Christmas—remains for the taking, offering lasting hope and future beyond our often dreary, heart-breaking world. Finding peace with God:   Tell God you are sorry for your sins and that you are willing to have Him change your way of living. Ask Jesus to be your Savior and Lord. The Officers’ Christian Fellowship statement of faith serves as a simple, yet eternally profound prayer to use: Inasmuch as I am a sinner and deserve the wrath of God, and since Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and has been bodily resurrected, according to […]

What you do and how you lead does matter

[…]two commissions simultaneously: one conferred on you from our Commander in Chief and one from the King of kings.    You are now a Christian officer. Notice that “Christian” is in the adjectival position; your Christianity is preeminent and modifies, shapes everything else you do. As you launch out on your race, you can be comforted by some sage advice from the apostles.  Lead On! “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example…” (1 Timothy 4:12). Within a few weeks of arrival at your first training base or duty station, ask yourself, Does […]

This order to be superceded only by someone with 6 stripes. Jonathan C. Shine Cdt Cpt, 2d Bn, 1st Regt. Commanding An order to report for Special Inspection strikes fear and anxiety into any plebe, especially when it comes from the Battalion Commander. I had gotten to know Jon in a more personal way throughout the year in Jon’s company and studied the Bible with him during our free time. It still was not clear, […]

Share this spiritual gift with your teen

[…]What a powerful way, a spiritual way, to culminate this week. Praise for Rick and the Lord working through him. Last day, heading out. Brian does well in getting ready, packing his stuff. No hurry to rush, plenty of time. Great breakfast, wonderful prayer. Brian and some of the boys have befriended some of the camp volunteers. Good kids, clean cut, wholesome, helpful, and cheerful. They are all hanging out, exchanging contact information, taking departure pictures. I will miss this place. A few quiet moments near the spring to thank God for this time. Praise You for allowing us to […]

The Wounded Healer

[…]iniquities of adultery and murder reaped generations of violence and betrayal in his family (2 Samuel 12:10). But after David came face-to-face with his scarred, miserable nature and repented, he penned marvelous words of God’s mercy that have guided sinners for centuries, “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions” (Psalm 51:1).  And sometimes suffering is simply the effect of living in a fallen world where evil can strike anyone. Yet none of the aspects of suffering limit God’s capacity to use pain in a redeeming fashion. Isaiah’s […]

Striving

[…]potential as a young man, spent years in the wilderness running for his life before he became king of Israel. Joseph is a prime example of someone who struggled with the desire for promotion. Speaking to his brothers about his dreams from God caused problems resulting in family jealousy, being thrown in the pit and sold to slave owners. Years later, after being an Egyptian slave and a prisoner in jail, Joseph was promoted to a place well beyond where he thought he would end up. Moses spent forty years hiding in the wilderness before he allowed God to promote […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]the truth in Scripture that the Apostle Paul taught to his young friend, Timothy. (2 Timothy 2:2) Following graduation I sensed there would be other opportunities to work with men eager to grow as believers. The first opportunity came during my first assignment in the Army. As a young lieutenant of infantry and a member of the storied 82d Airborne Division, the quick reaction force for the United States, I was humbled yet proud. Following an alert to possibly deploy to the Middle East in 1973, we all felt what it was like to be physically and emotionally prepared for […]

What Right Looks Like

[…]development is an ongoing process for any officer, noncommissioned officer, or civilian. Proverbs 23:12 states, “Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.” Our professional development does not stop at the institutional schools but should occur daily. Thus we are able to apply that acquired knowledge to our current job and also pass that awareness on to others. Demonstrate What Right Looks Like Second Thessalonians 3:13 says, “…never tire of doing what is right.” Service in the military is a 24-hour job. People are always looking at us to be the model of integrity, professionalism, and […]

Follow Me

[…]he starts every day with a time of quiet meditation over the scriptures and prayer, seeking the will of God and not the desires of men. Seek Jesus as a Role Model The third aspect of Jesus’ leadership style deals with the world’s idea of leadership. The world’s view on leadership today has not changed much since the days of Jesus. Many leaders in the world seek positions of leadership in order to exercise authority and esteem themselves as better than the people they are leading. These attitudes can be seen in how they interact with others and how they […]

Double Portion

[…]I am taken from you?’ ‘Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,’ Elisha replied (2 Kings 2:9). Elisha’s request prompts me to ask myself: How far am I willing to go with God? Elijah’s successor was willing to go all the way and beyond. What can we glean from Elisha’s request for “a double portion” as it relates to Christian leadership? First, Elisha’s bold request reminds me that God always has a plan for the continuance of His mission. Second, God’s work does not cease with key personnel turnover. You will recall: Moses led Israel out of captivity, […]

A day in the life of OCF

[…]for their lives, Arden acknowledges not realizing “just how hard this moment would be.”    2200 OCF team leaders John and Eva Haddick’s volunteer ministry for OCF is a “God-given mission” going back to “what Christ did” for them through the legacy of OCF’s biblical foundations.
