Roger Helle is a Marine who served three tours in Vietnam. He is the recipient of the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V," three Purple Heart Medals, and other decorations. He was medically discharged in 1971 after nine months recovering from near-fatal wounds. Mark Alexander wrote a profile on Roger in 2007: "Point Man." Roger worked in the security field for almost a decade after leaving the Marine Corps, and he is author of Point Man, A Time to Kill, A Time to Heal, and other books on Vietnam. He and his wife Shirley spent 40 years working with Teen Challenge, a faith-based program for those bound by life-controlling addictions. He has returned to Vietnam more than 20 times, providing humanitarian assistance in rural areas, and he now offers consulting services to nonprofit organizations.
‘I Didn’t See That Coming!’
There are many times when we are blindsided by life, but Jesus is bigger than any crisis you might face.
When the Fire Falls: Part II
Too many times, we have silenced ourselves rather than take on the leftist bullies in our lives.
When the Fire Falls
Our failure to act has only emboldened progressives to be more vocal, angry, and destructive.
Money Changers in the Temple
Love expects the best, doesn’t it? But if I learned anything from my mentor and friend, it was simply, “It’s better to give than to receive.”
Prodigal Nation
America has become a prodigal nation because we have forgotten what family really means.
‘Hey, Can You Spare a Quarter?’
How do you help someone when it’s hard to determine the real need vs. the perceived one?
You Can’t Always Trust Your Feelings
God has given us emotions like love and anger. But He also gives us wisdom and instruction as to how to control our emotions.
Love Thy Neighbor: Part II
It’s humbling when we realize God did not intervene in our lives because we’re good but because He is good.
Love Thy Neighbor
I choose to love and accept people for who they are, just as God accepted me.
Inspector Clouseau Professionalism
Let’s pray that we see less Inspector Clouseau bureaucrats and more competent, highly qualified people in the Trump administration.
Struck Down, but Not Destroyed
No matter how much hurt or rejection you may have suffered, don’t give up. We are never without hope!
Warrior to Warrior
In many countries where I’ve had the privilege to share my story, those who have so little were very open to the Gospel.
Face to Face
You don’t have to be on your deathbed to receive the free gift of God.
Failure to Communicate
Yes, we won the 2024 election, but the battle for America’s soul continues. Thankfully, the church still has an opportunity to step up.
‘I’ve Got You!’
You may be going through a very difficult time right now. I encourage you to stop and pray.
