The Jungles of War

[…]a devastated village in Viet Nam. Moral dilemmas are by no means the private territory of men at war. However, wars do provide acute crises in moral and ethical decision-making. During two tours as an infantry officer in Viet Nam, as well as service in Cuba, Malaysia, Cyprus and Northern Ireland, I encountered several such dilemmas. I’ll examine a couple of them in this article. First let me establish that a military career had not been my choice early in life. The second of three sons born to a Marine who held every rank from private to major (some twice!), […]

Waging Another War

[…]I wanted to help the soldiers prepare to be able to meet their wives with pure hearts. We discussed the previous week’s reading assignment and corresponding questions from the book’s study guide. Four other Every Man’s Battle study groups also started up at nearby Patrol Bases (PBs). This was the first sign that these Bible study groups in pursuit of sexual purity were having a positive impact. The need was there. And God provided for the need as men of character stepped forward to help their fellow Soldiers. The men learned about the pitfalls of viewing sensual images, of how […]

War on Spiritual Terrorism

[…]they stand up to put that snap fastener on the anchor line cable do they start to try and get serious, because when they go out the door they know it’s them, that equipment, and the Lord. Or they don’t pray until they get a contingency mission. When they get to Green Ramp, suddenly the chaplain becomes the most important officer in the unit. They all want to see and talk to him… Most soldiers who fall into this category will enter into combat with an overriding fear, a fear that will overshadow what we’ve tried to instill in them […]

Spiritual War

[…]subordinate objectives to the prophets. Each’s objective was a part of the whole. After the war had been going on for thousands of years, God produced the decisive person, place, action, and time: Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. God accomplished His purpose. 2. Since that time, the enemy of our souls has been severely handicapped: his power is limited, his intelligence is limited, his time is limited, and his arrogance is unlimited. 3. We do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. Our weapons have […]

War Eagle, Iraq

[…]the knowledge that the Lord hears the prayers of the righteous, casting all our cares upon Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). The prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective (James 5:16). c) Always wear your Kevlar with the Helmet of Salvation (Ephesians 6:17). P.S. The soldier recovered well and attended the next chapel […]

Ice Cream in Iraq

[…]telling us where they are hiding. That has made our job a lot easier and a lot safer! 11. What is war like? War is no fun at all. I wish there were no wars anywhere. If there was no war, we would all be happy and Soldiers would be home with their families. It’s too bad there are so many bad guys out there who want to have wars against the good guys. 12. Do you like it in Iraq? Honestly, I do not like it here much. The main reason is because I have to be away from […]

Leadership by Example

[…]living sons and daughters for you and your noncommissioned officers to develop into Army warriors and to lead in combat on their behalf, to defend this otherwise defenseless nation. Thus, morally, your obligation, very simply stated, is to do right by and for the American people in defending their Constitution, nation and way of life. And you will do that by winning the necessary battles and returning, as best you can, the whole lives of their children to them after combat. And that must be seen as an intensely moral, rather than legal, obligation. So how are you going to […]

Fervent Desire for Peace

[…]once again, we are vividly reminded of a lasting truth. Only when our Lord returns to usher us into the fullness of His Kingdom, will we be free to lay aside–for all time–the weapons with which we now defend peace. In the meantime, in my office I have a precious reminder of this comforting Messianic promise. It is a weapon– turned tool– now retired. Robert Stroud is a Lutheran pastor who serves as a chaplain in the United States Air Force. His father, Sergeant Major Charles Stroud, a veteran of Korea and Vietnam, retired from the United States Marine Corps. […]

Unity of Command

[…]the military principles of war apply to Christian living? When I learned these 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. […]

Soldiers of Faith: Washington

by MAJ Steven D. Russell, USA In his lengthy treatise On War Carl von Clausewitz stated that most of the subjects on the theory of war were half physical and half moral. “We might say the physical are almost no more than the wooden handle, whilst the moral are the noble metal, the real bright-polished weapon,” he wrote. While he concluded that the realm of the talents of the commander included virtue of the army and national feeling, he missed the chance to capture by historical example a general that embodied such moral force in action. George Washington was a […]

Members: Cast your vote now for OCF Council

[…]State University, Masters Chemistry, 1991 and PhD Nuclear Chemistry, 2011. Present assignment: Air War College Ministry involvement: OCF member since 2001, home Bible study leader, Germany; small group leader and area coordinator, West Point; Emmanuel Baptist Church leadership board; Sunday school teacher, discipling cadets; cadet chapel, AWANA Personal testimony: I sporadically attended church growing up but never knew the Lord. That changed my senior year of college through the efforts of my grandparents and friends. I am still growing in my knowledge of the Lord and I thank Him for His abundant mercy and grace. What is the biggest challenge […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]Jesus Christ and serve others selflessly and sacrificially. Jon, I’m sure, would not want us to focus on him. He would much rather we focus on the Lord, giving Him all the glory. True believers, however, know that faithful disciples of Christ who have gone on from this life, have always left behind them powerfully vivid signs–trail markers–that point the way 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 […]

Three Words

[…]I loved my Lord and did not want to bring dishonor to His name. In this, as in all other areas, Jesus must be Lord. And as He is Lord, there will be integrity in your life. “Jesus is Lord” will affect your attitude toward your career. Your mission from the Army–and even more from our Lord–is not to reach some particular rank, but to serve your nation and lead and serve your soldiers. Knowing that we are called to this by our Lord frees us from the unreachable drive for personal success, to follow instead the call and example […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: ROTC

[…]a pond for our three boys – who would leave that?” said Rob. Yet both sensed God “asking us to trust Him – and see how He could use our faithfulness.” Passionate about a ministry to the military and investing in college-age students, their leap of faith led them to God’s open door of full-time staff with the Cru Military ministry’s Valor at Virginia Tech, ministering to “the 1000 cadets in the corps.” In partnership with OCF, Valor’s vision is reaching these “future military leaders for Christ, helping them grow in their faith to become disciple makers at their future […]

Financial Responsibility for Children

[…]from the children as each their turn. They were amazed at how much money it cost to run a household. The house payment alone was a check like none they had ever written. They learned conservation when they saw the electric bill each month and not one of them continued to take long showers. Our lastborn worried there would be no money left for her to attend college and that had the added benefit of her beating the bushes for more scholarships than the other children had done. One of the real challenges was teaching them how to reconcile a […]
