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.
Remembering David Wilkerson: Part I
Pastor Wilkerson’s life, ministry, books, and movie inspired me to start Teen Challenge centers across the Midwest. He was a hero to me.
What Makes You Tick?
There are many opportunities for us to serve our Savior. But do we listen when the Holy Spirit tells us to do something that takes us out of our comfort zone?
Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful)
Today is the Marine Corps’s 250th birthday. Tomorrow is Veterans Day. This week is a twofer for me! It was an honor to serve my country.
Walking Point
We knew the Viet Cong were watching our every move, waiting for us to make a mistake. That mistake was made one night in early March 1966.
‘Silence! I Kill You!’
“Achmed the Dead Terrorist” is funny to watch. Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other jihadist sympathizers are no laughing matter.
‘Let My People Go!’
Our enemies only respect us if we show we’re not afraid to use our strength to defeat them.
Vladimir Putin’s War
In Ukraine, I prayed a long time before delivering the message on the need for radical forgiveness. The response at the altar that night showed me the need is great!
My Fatal Heart Condition
I recently worked with Ukrainian soldiers struggling with post-traumatic stress, and they had the same undiagnosed heart condition from which I had suffered.
Is Judgment at the Gate? (Part II)
God gave a pagan king a plan to conquer the city of Babylon, and King Belshazzar never saw it coming. Are we in danger of the same thing?
Is Judgment at the Gate? (Part I)
God was about to bring His punishment upon the nation that had conquered the known world. Now, it was Babylon’s time to face judgment.
Is Another Jesus Revolution Possible? (Part II)
Before every great move of God in our nation’s history, the spiritual darkness seemed to be overwhelming. But then … God!
Is Another Jesus Revolution Possible? (Part I)
Drug addiction, sexual addiction, and rebellion against authority are still with us. But here’s the good news: Jesus has neither left us nor forsaken us.
Honoring the Sacrifice
America is blessed because we are a generous people, and it has been an honor to meet Patriots who have started nonprofits to help our veterans.
Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide
Are you tired of running? I was exhausted from running and hiding. But instead of a rebuke, I found a loving, compassionate Heavenly Father.
The Pain We Hide
The doctors referred to my recovery in Vietnam as “miraculous.” But, as a proud Marine, I took credit for my progress. I wasn’t looking for God, but He was looking for me.
