Army Chaplain Corps 240th Anniversary

Image
I just want to express how awesome it is to be a part of this corps, to be able to speak truth in love into Soldiers lives and to see God's kingdom grow for His glory... Heavenly Father, I pray that You continue to watch over the men and women in uniform that serve You above all else and that through their service to country, Your name is glorified and Your will is done. Surround them with Your divine protection from both the physical and spiritual enemies of this day. Thank You for Your unconditional love, unmerited mercy, and bountiful grace that You have shown in Your Son...for "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life..." In THIS name I pray. Amen!

You Must Lose It, To Really Use It

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” – John 12:24-25 You must lose it, to really use it. When I first read this I was like, “Aren’t we suppose to love the gift of life that God gave us, aren’t we to love ourselves, being image bearers of God?” Well yeah, but that’s not what this passage is talking about. Who are those that love their lives then? What is Jesus talking about? This my friends is selfish love. Think of those that have that cavalier and careless attitude and serve themselves above all else. Bernie Maddoff comes to mind; a man so enamored with money and opulent living that he was blind to everything peripheral to him, to those who would be hurt and to the consequences of his actions, and what happened, he lost everything. Really lost it all. Both his sons are now...
