A day in the life of OCF

[…]the cadets to cook breakfast.   0400 Sometimes God wakes Steve Wade at night, so he goes to the living room to pray and listen to Scripture online. His Skype rings in and he sees the tear-stained face of a former cadet on the other side of the world. Loneliness, the stress of working and living in a war-torn area, and anguish over personal relationships is almost more than this young officer can bear. Steve listens—for hours—and will finally pray softly until he sees this defender of our nation’s freedoms relax and fall asleep. Good night. Good morning. Recover, repeat. […]

Superhero’s Faith

[…]faster than a speeding bullet! He dreams and he laughs and he’s unusual. That’s what I want. Living Life Fully in Christ I finally hit rock bottom soon after I came to that understanding. Lying in a hospital bed fighting for my life from the prior night’s alcohol poisoning, I surrendered and turned my eyes upwards to find Jesus. Through a series of events, I heard the gospel message and a light instantly came on in my mind. For the first time, I understood that my sin eternally separated me from living in communion with God, and the only way […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]toward Him. One of those trail markers Jon left us was an example of total reliance on the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and a true Friend we all can have as Christians. Robert “Doc” Jackson, the brave Army medic who heard Jon Shine’s last words, now understands why–coming from his platoon leader lying five feet from him with a serious wound to his head, and enemy fire all around–they were so amazingly calm and full of assurance and peace. In F.B Meyer’s David, the author traces this young warrior’s life through the steps by which he became king…those steps in […]

Six Generations: 2

[…]but somehow I could hear Jon very clearly. It was for me a very special moment, it was holy, and I realized it even then. I had just been saying the name of Jesus out loud, over and over as I worked on Roberts, and I hear Jon say, ‘Doc, I’ve been hit in the head but I’m OK. Just throw me some bandages and I’ll stop the bleeding until you finish with Roberts and get back.’ That’s very close to verbatim. Over the years I’ve told the story many time and I always include how remarkably composed he was… […]

Unity of Command

[…]principles in Air War College, I 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 […]

Implicit Trust

[…]trust shall live eternally. In this manner a sinner becomes a saint. It is not by prayer or holy living, not by deeds of kindness, labors of love, or works of any kind. These, like the officer’s uniform, follow after. They manifest installment in the new position. Just as the Emperor’s word gave the private the assurance that he had become a captain, so the Word of God provides the sinner who believes and trusts in the Lord Jesus the assurance that he or she has become a child of God, has passed from darkness into His marvelous light, from […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]with you. I hope you’ll see them as exciting opportunities! A chapel congregation can provide a living demonstration of our unit in Jesus Christ. Often nonbelievers are confused by the fact of many denominations and the competition that sometimes occurs between them. Believers working together in a chapel program can proclaim the essential teachings of the gospel. John 17:21-23 tells us that all Christians are united in Christ. This includes Christians in all denominations, of all theological shades and spiritual persuasions. In the chapel the focus tends to be on the essential doctrines of Christian faith rather than on denominational […]
