The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]development classes and counseling sessions, in front-line combat, or in the day-to-day routines of office work — non-believers and Christians work together with the common goal of contributing to the security of our nation. The close relationships that grow out of these situations may offer opportunities for Christians to share spiritual truth. Many times they have been used by the Holy Spirit to draw people to Christ. Nonbelievers think of the chaplain as one who is “paid to talk about Christ.” They usually don’t perceive the Christian line officer as a “professional” Christian. For this reason, your testimony about God’s […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]on the basis of principle, not by a fixed formula. So it is with God’s instruction. Application of principles, given the pressures, complexities and responsibilities of senior leadership, requires prayerful reflection and petition for godly insight. Leaders exist to serve others 2 TIMOTHY 2:10. The purpose of senior military leadership is to accomplish assigned missions by making subordinates successful, without seeking self-aggrandizement. The purpose of spiritual leadership is for “the sake of the elect, that they may obtain salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.” The true value of professional and spiritual leadership will be judged by its […]

Unity of Command

[…]found all of them in the Bible. Later I applied them to Christian living. The military definition of Unity of Command (UOC) is: “For every objective, one person is responsible for war-fighting decisions.” 1 Our military has a Commander-In-Chief (CINC), the President of the United States. As CINC, he is ultimately responsible for war-fighting decisions. However, he does not personally make all war-fighting decisions. He delegates decision-making down through the chain of command; this is called centralized control with de-centralized execution. The theory is that there is control at the top but freedom down the line at each echelon for […]

I Only See Green

[…]military we’re spoiled by being able to worship with all races in our local post chapels. Too often when we look off the post in the local community we don’t see the same thing. We need to show the world how wonderful and color blind the grace of God really is. Racism is not a new problem; it has been in the world as long as there have been races. Within the faith, though, there was a time when racism vanished. “For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing […]

Two Greedy Institutions

[…]part of it. We need [especially from our spouse] recognition of the sacrifices we make as spouses of an officer-Christian. Examples: The cost to us of separations, temporary single parenting, sharing of the officer with his/her soldiers, the stress on the officer and its impact on the home, etc. The possibility that we might have to limit our career, education, or interests to fill our role as a military spouse. Recognizing that the officer’s service is a God-given calling and demands much of him/her, it is critical to the spouse that the officer at the same time show the spouse […]

[…]we tried to demonstrate and teach as parents.  Enos: It has been a blessing to be a part of a community of believers in the military, able to connect graduating cadets with specific individuals or fellowships at their first duty station.  This foundation is a great launching place for new officers as they catch a vision of how God wants to use them throughout their military career and their lives.

With the Love of a Clanging Cymbal

[…]of the Holy Spirit, drew me to the first verse of that chapter, “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal” (1 Corinthians 13:1). Clanging cymbal—that was a perfect description of my actions as I “clanged” away about a friend’s moral failure without any concern for the how or why. I had no love for him, and it was the one thing that, unfortunately, came through loud and clear. I wanted to show I was morally superior—I knew right from wrong while […]

What’s Your Altitude

[…]“nap of the earth,” we will model the attitude of Jesus. Ultimately the altitude and attitude of Jesus is one of our greatest quality of life steps. When we see ourselves as servants with no rights or privileges, dependent completely on our Heavenly Father we are postured to deal with the headaches, heartaches and unfairness of life in the best way possible. When you feel tempted to demand your rights or exert your will, lower yourself to Jesus’ level. Say to yourself, “I don’t deserve anything. Any good thing I receive I get by grace.” We belong to God and […]
