Centurions

Acts 10:1-2 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.

I’ve seen the difference when the company level leadership has a Christian influence. I’m not talking about a preachy leader who runs around beating everyone up with the Bible. But, on the other hand, they are not afraid to talk about the scriptures or pray either. There’s a difference in the command climate that’s injected with the love and truth of Christ. I think there are two reasons for the unique atmosphere of that company. 1. They are living out biblical principles of leadership. 2. They love people the way Jesus loved them. I’m thinking of a dozen of you who are in such a position right now, way to go! And if you have such a 1SG or Company Commander, tell them you appreciate their godly leadership. Pray for our leaders at all levels. SP167
