Unity of Command

[…]one last example to illustrate spiritual UOC. In a joint military environment, one commander commands bombers, tanks, and ships. One of those components is no better or worse than any other. They follow and trust the leadership of their one commander. So, too, the church: believers must be loyal to Jesus as the one Commander of His Body. The Body of Christ has many different components, and we don’t always recognize or understand each other’s contributions. We are not all the same, but each of us has an important contribution to our joint spiritual mission. As Christians demonstrate loyalty and […]

How Shall We Pray?

by LtGen Bruce L. Fister, USAF, (Ret.) We live in challenging times. The clearest challenge to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coastguardsmen, and their families is the Global War on Terrorism. The GWOT is real, dangerous, long, hard, and critical to the defense of our nation and the freedoms it represents. Add to this the personal challenges of sickness, the loss of loved ones, difficulties with a child in school, conflict with those with whom or for whom we work, and relational issues with those we love. And then there are the challenges involving relationships with the Lord, both from inside […]

What Works for New Officers?

[…]plead for help (1 Thess. 5:17, Rom. 8:26). TIP: Set aside specific time to pray for coworkers, commanders, subordinates, and issues. 7. KNOW and DO your job well. Only then will you earn the respect of your peers and the right to be heard (Col. 3:23, 24). Be reliable and take the initiative when opportunity arises. TIP: Avoid complaining. A common tendency in any workplace is to complain. Do your job as unto the Lord (Phil. 2:14, 4:11). 8. Decide now what kind of SPIRITUAL COMMITMENT you will require of a future mate. Will he or she have the same […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]Christ and on being His church! As you advance in your career, you will one day be a military commander. One or more chaplains will be on your unit’s staff. If you’ve served Christ in chapel programs before your command assignment begins, you’ll have a 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 […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]Conference. They had planned it for 11 months and briefed the concept to the Garrison Commander, receiving his approval to proceed. When I re-established contact in April of 2002, John and his group had just completed the conference, whose guest speakers included author Stu Weber and pro-football great, Hershel Walker. His note to me: “…we just had a wonderful, blessed time in the Lord…What I found really great about the whole conference was the prayer leading up to the conference. We asked the Lord if just one came and gave his life, all would be worth it. Well on Friday […]

Interview with Chaplain Beach

[…]program. Who really is responsible for the religious program on any base? The answer is: the commanding officer. Every commander, regardless of his personal convictions, is responsible for the welfare, including the spiritual welfare, of his personnel. That responsibility extends to insuring appropriate programs are provided. He is responsible for what occurs on his base. This means he will want to know and exercise approval or disapproval of programs. The special staff professional who is provided to assist him is the chaplain. Officers’ Christian Fellowship groups meeting or advertising on any base (including quarters areas) should submit to the military […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]seem an ambiguous term. We have chosen to define it starting at the rank of lieutenant colonel or commander because of the command opportunities and decision-making positions available to officers of such rank. We expect your new experiences will be similar to all those who have gone before you. The increased expectations placed upon you will be manifested in more independent decision making and in broader and deeper organizational or command responsibilities. The issues you will identify and address will be increasingly complex and difficult. The environment in which you work will become increasingly ambiguous, and you will have a […]

Leadership and the Christian Officer

[…]to personal study and reflection. Command In The Broadest Sense I have previously used the terms command and commander in a rather specific way, but in truth, their meaning is generic. Although an officer may not ever be close to a battlefield or combat unit, nevertheless he will command. Because, to command is to lead and a commander is, certainly, a leader. There are countless valuable officers who never command a unit, per se, but no matter what the circumstance, they will command, that is lead, others. That is, after all, the primary task of an officer. Some are suited […]

Know Your Rights!

[…]the right to: Know how the funds of an organization are being spent. Every year we publish in COMMAND magazine a summary of our independently audited Financial Statements (see Page 14) to show what funds were received and how these funds were spent in accomplishing the tasks which the Lord has given us. We also can provide a copy of our audited Financial Statements to anyone who needs greater detail. Know what the programs you support are accomplishing. We feel that this is critically important. We try to communicate what the Lord is accomplishing through OCF through COMMAND magazine, thank-you […]

Impact Your Military Community!

[…]you want to conduct outreaches that impact your unit, you need the chapel. Location and command “sponsorship” are the vital links. The chapel is not only strategically located where the troops are but also carries with it the authority of the command. The chapel is the spiritual center for unit-wide outreach. Lost Opportunities Officers make a decisive impact upon their units. The chapel is the only church body that is a part of the unit. Since it is part of the command, officers can enthusiastically support events that it conducts. Another noteworthy dynamic occurs when an officer attends chapel. Usually […]

A day in the life of OCF

He commits the list to the Lord, asking for wisdom.  The sixteen wooded acres surrounding Shepherd’s Fold serves as training ground for USCGA’s Sandhurst Military Skills Competition squad. Camping outside as part of their training and “having a blast” while doing so, twenty camouflaged cadets on two teams are attacking each other’s strategic positions. When their bonfire accidentally scorches their cooking pans, by 0700 the Shepherd’s Fold kitchen will be invaded by the cadets to cook breakfast.   0400 Sometimes God wakes […]
