[…]group Bible studies. We can’t even claim it as a distinctive: small groups are endemic now, and they have been a part of the Christian Church since around 30 AD. So what about our niche? Leadership. We encourage and equip officers to minister effectively in the military society. Why officers? Because officers are commissioned to lead, and they need to use that leadership in a biblical way. They lead biblically in their homes, in their units, and in the Christian community of their installation. The small group Bible study is our primary tool for this encouraging and equipping. One of […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]that they have “tuned out” in church or chapel for years. As a line officer, you can understand the problems of your military comrades as one who participates equally with them in their military duties. Many chaplains try very hard to be involved in the activities of their troops. They jump with airborne units, join those standing mid-watches, participate in twenty-mile forced marches, go along on night patrols, and spend time on the flight line. The best chaplains have a deep empathy for the challenges, problems, and victories of their units. Even they, however, cannot enter fully into the decisions, […]

Leadership and the Christian Officer

[…]While he does certain things with the deliberate intent of gaining optimum control over his unit, and the maximum effort from it, his acts must nevertheless not be a front. They must represent the real man under the rank insignia. Confidence To inspire confidence the commander must be confident. Leaders must firmly believe that they can handle the job, seeing obstacles as challenges rather than a cause for apprehension. The commander must be able to understand and analyze problems, make firm decisions, give clear orders and then forcefully carry out their will despite difficulties. There must be that character which […]

TTP – Vision and Leadership

[…]as “Integrity First,” “Service Before Self,” and “Excellence In All We Do,” we understand their foundation in much more enduring truths to which we can all relate. In Matthew 5:37, Jesus states, “Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’.” That is the foundation of integrity-say what we mean, mean what we say, and do the right thing even when no one is watching. From verse 13 of chapter 15 of John’s Gospel, Jesus tells us, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” That illustrates service before self for […]

Further insights from Mike and Angie Moyles

[…]life. …His wife, Angie…  I saw something in her that was different from many of my friends and other girls I had dated—clearly unique, having a special spark. I now know it was the light of Christ that I’d never seen before. Whatever she had that made her so unique, I wanted to be a part of it. I’m not letting her go. She holds my life together. …His wife, Angie, part 2…  I once when forgot to do something for her, and I tried to blamed it on the removed lobe. That only worked the first time—not any longer. […]

Finishing Strong, in Iraq and Life

[…]we could ever muster for ourselves. At every stop on my Iraqi tour, I had the privilege of handing the soldiers a postcard with this Scripture passage: “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:3-6). Whether a military mission or in life itself, who doesn’t want […]

What you do and how you lead does matter

[…]to the OCF Class of 2012! We who have gone before welcome you to the profession of arms and the start of your great race the Lord has set before you. Crossing the threshold, you now carry 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.  […]

Laborers and Laboring as Unto the Lord

[…]barbecues this Labor Day. But the wobbly economy of growing unemployment, declining productivity, and the unfathomably ballooning debt is the least of America’s problems. At a period in our nation’s history when we should be calling on and returning to follow God the most, our country as a whole is increasingly treating the Lord of All as some uninvited pest needing to be permanently shooed from our lives. Jesus declared in the Sermon on the Mount, “But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house […]

Truth and the Christian Leader

[…]everyone involved a chance to tell his/her side of the story. “Audi Partem Alterum” — hear the other side. Leaders need not fear truth but must pursue it. Truth is the fabric of what we stand for and is what we as Christian leaders are called to practice.   Copyrighted by Officers’ Christian Fellowship and Larry Simpson.

OCF Groups and You

[…]location. Since you are OCF, your group will be what you make it at your duty station. Determine the need and start working to fill it. OCF’s website has great resources for starting/leading groups and finding other OCF groups near you. Or contact the home office link-up program for assistance. Let the home office know if you do begin a group, and encourage others in your group to officially join OCF—not just participate in an OCF group—so they can enjoy the camaraderie and benefits of formal membership. Enjoy the unique camaraderie we have through OCF—connecting in fellowship with other military members […]
