Ron Helle is a highly decorated career Marine officer who worked his way through the ranks, retiring as a Major after 22 years of service. If he looks familiar, that is because he is the twin brother of another Marine veteran grassroots writer, Roger Helle. Serving three years in Vietnam, Ron was awarded the Navy Cross and three Purple Hearts. Since his retirement from the Marine Corps, he has had a diverse career including private and contract security in Iraq. He has pastored two church startups, taught Scripture, and served in various ministry capacities, particularly to active-duty military personnel and veterans. His devotions emerge from his diverse life experiences. He currently resides in Houston, Texas, with his wife of more than 50 years, Lynne. Read Mark Alexander's profile of Ron, "The Heroic Helle Brothers."
Stuck on Stupid
As Christians, it’s possible for us to sometimes get “stuck on stupid.”
Meat on the Bones
Jesus had to put a little meat on the bones when it came to understanding the role of the Messiah.
Off the Map
Being “off the map” in war can be a dangerous thing. Being off the map in our spiritual life can also be dangerous.
Perimeter Breach
America, your “perimeter” has been breached! How could that happen, you ask? Let me share my opinion.
Taking Point
Walking point is not an exact science. At some point, your luck runs out.
I Know What You Did!
All too often we are living in our own personal horror movie with an enemy relentless in his condemnation.
Listen to Him
Jesus frequently ended His teaching sessions with the admonition, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Resolutions
What should the Christian’s approach be on making “resolutions” for the coming year?
Resurrection Power
“For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.”
The Mixed Multitude
The “mixed multitude” will follow the people of God and often give the impression of following God Himself, but their heart is not set on God.
