Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ronit Stahl traces the ways the U.S. military struggled with, encouraged, and regulated religious pluralism and scrambled to handle the nation’s deep religious, racial, and political complexity. Just as the state relied on religion to sanction combat missions and sanctify war deaths, so too did religious groups seek validation as American faiths.
Download or read book Engage written by Nelson Searcy and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how great Sunday's worship service was, there's always another Sunday lurking at the end of the next week that must be planned. Church leaders often fall into ruts, working on automatic pilot just trying to get things together, which does not allow for much creativity or focus on designing services that lead to transformation for those involved in them. Engage is a step-by-step, stress-free guide to planning worship services that allow for and foster true life change. Comprehensive in scope, Engage provides teaching pastors, worship leaders, and volunteers with the tools they need to work together to develop and implement a worship planning system that improves communication, enhances creativity, and honors Jesus every week.
Download or read book Marching Orders Volume One written by Otis H. Corbitt, III and published by Otis H. Corbitt, III. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he Reserve Components of the Armed Forces of the United States play a vital role in our National Defense efforts. Reserve units and personnel of all branches of the military have proven their mettle during the first two decades of the 21st Century, not only protecting the Homeland, but also deploying an untold number of times to multiple theaters of combat, fighting our nation’s battles overseas so that we do not have to fight them at home. We have pursued a long and costly, but necessary, campaign to ensure the freedom and safety of the ones we love. Now, we are well into the third decade of this century, and while members of the Reserve Components are still being deployed on operational missions, a greater emphasis is being placed on resetting the force and preparing for the next military challenge to be faced by our nation. This shift of emphasis means a greater focus on training, and that’s where this book of devotionals comes in. Annual Training is a ritual, a rite of passage, and a challenge for the drilling member of the Reserve Components. It means two or more weeks away from home and loved ones, and it means conducting rigorous, challenging, and, from time-to-time onerous, training, operations, and equipment maintenance. Annual Training can simultaneously be both the highlight of the training year, as well as a thorn in the side of a Service Member. It is an event to be anticipated and also dreaded in just about equal measures. Annual Training is a unique experience which can only really be understood by someone who has "been there and done that.” 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. 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, 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 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 Bringing God to Men written by Jacqueline E. Whitt and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-02-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the second half of the twentieth century, the American military chaplaincy underwent a profound transformation. Broad-based and ecumenical in the World War II era, the chaplaincy emerged from the Vietnam War as generally conservative and evangelical. Before and after the Vietnam War, the chaplaincy tended to mirror broader social, political, military, and religious trends. During the Vietnam War, however, chaplains' experiences and interpretations of war placed them on the margins of both military and religious cultures. Because chaplains lived and worked amid many communities--religious and secular, military and civilian, denominational and ecumenical--they often found themselves mediating heated struggles over the conflict, on the home front as well as on the front lines. In this benchmark study, Jacqueline Whitt foregrounds the voices of chaplains themselves to explore how those serving in Vietnam acted as vital links between diverse communities, working personally and publicly to reconcile apparent tensions between their various constituencies. Whitt also offers a unique perspective on the realities of religious practice in the war's foxholes and firebases, as chaplains ministered with a focus on soldiers' shared experiences rather than traditional theologies.
