Download or read book Marching Orders Volume Two Values written by Otis H. Corbitt, III and published by Otis H. Corbitt, III. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Volume Two of Marching Orders, which like the original, is a book of devotionals intended for use by members of the Reserve Components of the United States Armed Forces attending Annual Training. As I said in the introduction to Volume One, Annual Training is a unique experience which can only really be understood by someone who has "been there and done that,” and, as a retired Army National Guard Chaplain I think that I qualify on that account. The purpose of this book is simple: to provide daily devotionals from the Christian Bible for troops attending Annual Training. Depending on the Reserve Component one is assigned to and the location where it is conducted, an Annual Training period can be 14, 15, or 17 days long. Reserve Component units that train overseas can be on duty for as much as 21 days. To split the difference, this book provides 17 days of devotionals. Our focus in Marching Orders Volume Two is our values as Christian members of the Armed Forces. Values are deeply held convictions that guide us when no other procedures, rules, regulations, or laws apply. They also greatly affect how we carry out our duties even when some sort of governing rule or document exists. I think an example from my civilian ministry will illustrate the role that values play in our lives: I serve in a rural town in south Alabama, and a new pastor came to our community recently from a large, metropolitan city. I asked him what the biggest difference he had seen as he made that transition. He told me, “Back in [the big city] if your church held an event, people expected it to be top-notch. If you put on an unimpressive or sloppy event, people just would not come back. They’d go down the road to the next church. Here [in the small town] people don’t seem to care as much about how good the event is. They are just grateful that you took the time and effort to do it.” Thus, we can see that in the big city, people hold to the value of Excellence, but in the small town, people cherish the values of Relationship and Caring. Every Soldier should be familiar with the Army Values (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage) as well as the Warrior Ethos which asserts: • I will always place the mission first. • I will never accept defeat. • I will never quit. • I will never leave a fallen comrade. These are statements of belief that thrust Soldiers forward to victory in battle or success at home despite encountering all varieties of adversity. Likewise, our other military branches have statements of values as well, such as the Navy’s list of Honor, Courage, and Commitment, and the Air Force values of, “integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.” The similar mottos of the Marine Corps (Semper Fidelis: Always Faithful) and the Coast Guard (Semper Paratus: Always Ready) are also value statements, and good ones. Truth be told, some Service Members often hold to less wholesome and less honorable values as well. I cannot count the times in my career I heard a leader say, “If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying.” Contrast that cynical statement with something I heard more than one Coast Guardsman say about risking their lives during search and rescue operations during a storm: “The fact is, you have to go out, but you don’t have to come back!” I hope the devotionals included in this book will encourage the latter type of values, rather than the former! Some of the values we will examine will be from the military services, while others will come primarily from the Bible; however, every devotional included within will be based on God’s Word. Please note that I have chosen to use the King James translation of the Scriptures in this book for several reasons. First, the King James Bible has historically been the most commonly used translation among Protestants. In addition, the New Testaments provided to troops by the Gideons are usually in the King James Version and so this book will complement their efforts. Finally, according to the American Bible Society, the King James text is in the public domain, which resolves any copyright issues over its use in this book. Feel free, however, to read the focal passage of each day’s devotion in the translation of the Bible that best suits your needs. Some of the included devotionals will have a military theme, but not all of them do. However, as I said above, all of them do have a basis in Scripture and in the tenets of the Christian faith. I trust that they will encourage and sustain the reader during the trials and triumphs of Annual Training. Every blessing, Chaplain Otis Corbitt

Download or read book MARCHING ORDERS VOLUME THREE MASTER AND COMMANDER written by Otis H. Corbitt, III and published by Otis H. Corbitt, III. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our lives, in both the spiritual and secular realms, it is important to know “who’s the boss?” As we will see in these pages, Jesus Christ is our Master and Commander. This is Volume Three of Marching Orders, which like the previous volumes, is a book of devotionals intended for use by members of the Reserve Components of the United States Armed Forces attending Annual Training. As I said in the introduction to Volume One, Annual Training is a unique experience which can only really be understood by someone who has "been there and done that,” and, as a retired Army National Guard Chaplain I think that I qualify on that account. The purpose of this book is simple: to provide daily devotionals from the Christian Bible for troops attending Annual Training. Depending on the Reserve Component one is assigned to and the location where it is conducted, an Annual Training period can be 14, 15, or 17 days long. Reserve Component units that train overseas can be on duty for as much as 21 days. To split the difference, this book provides 17 days of devotionals. If we carefully review the Biblical record of the ministry of Jesus, we begin seeing something new. The Old Testament is full of the acts of God as He carefully unfolded His plan to redeem the world, but in the Gospels, we can see Him personally. We will see the Master of the Universe walking amongst His creation and demonstrating His power and control. By the end of this series of devotionals, we will clearly see Jesus as our Master and Commander, convincingly answering the question of “who’s the boss?” Some of the included devotionals will include illustrations and applications from military service while others will be more general in nature; however, every devotional found within will be based on God’s Word. Please note that I have chosen to use the King James translation of the Scriptures in this book for several reasons. First, the King James Bible has historically been the most commonly used translation among Protestants. In addition, the New Testaments provided to troops by the Gideons are usually in the King James Version and so this book will complement their efforts.

Download or read book The Coming Apostasy written by Mark Hitchcock and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2017 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we on the verge of a great apostasy in the church? "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths." --2 Timothy 4:3-4 Jesus Christ is coming back. It is certainly a Christian's greatest hope during these difficult times. The Bible warns us that the last days will be tumultuous--wars and rumors of wars will spread (Matthew 24:6). In our age, the world seems to be spinning out of control, creating fear, confusion, and uncertainty. In addition to violence, pestilence, and epidemics, the Bible predicts a great "falling away" from God in the end times. Bible teachers call that "the great apostasy." Are we seeing evidence today in the church of this massive rejection of sound and wholesome teaching? Bestselling authors Mark Hitchcock and Jeff Kinley team up to examine the evidence from the teachers of our time. Are today's teachers allowing people to follow their own desires by telling them what they want to hear, as the Bible clearly predicts? Are major portions of the church ready to abandon sound and wholesome teaching? Together, Mark and Jeff explore alarming trends among today's church leaders and they are simply stunned by what they discover. The great apostasy is coming, but is it closer than we imagine? What does that mean for the future? Let Mark and Jeff be your steady guides to the difficult days ahead.
