Life as a Soldier

"No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer"- 2 Timothy 2:4

"Basic Combat Training (BCT) is a training course that transforms civilians into Soldiers. Over the course of ten weeks these recruits learn about the Seven Core Army Values, how to work together as a team and what it takes to succeed as a Soldier in the U.S. Army." -US Army Website

I think we could learn a tremendous amount about what the Christian's life should look like by examining what the Army's has determined to be its core values. To this end I am considering writing a series of lessons that correlate to these 7 values. Any thoughts?

Dare to Dream Big Dreams

One of the reasons I love God so much is that He is the God of Big Dreams. I love the fact that He can do so much more than you or I could ever imagine. As we examine our own lives we ought to be able to see this. Just think about how many times the amazing has happened. It may be some thing as "small" as finding some extra change that allows you to go to McDonald's or buys that half gallon of gas that you need to make it home. Or maybe you are one of those people who have had a miraculous healing. Or maybe you are one of those people who entire life, world view and perspective has been changed in an instant. Or maybe you have had all of these kinds experiences and then some. No matter where you fall, the point is still the same, God is an amazing God and He is so much more than any person or group of people could ever imagine. I hope the videos below help each us to know, either for the first time or be reminded for the one millionth time, how great God is.
