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."
Strength and Honor — Part II
God gives the greatest honor to the part of the church body serving humbly and without fanfare.
Strength and Honor: Part I
When I met Jesus, I met the One whose life exemplified “strength and honor.”
Go the Distance
We men need the fellowship of our brothers if we are to “go the distance” in our Christian journey.
The Welfare of the City
Let me ask you child of God, how is the welfare of your city? Your nation?
Faulty Logic
As Christians, we often apply faulty logic in many of our expectations of God.
God’s ‘You’ Imperatives
Let me relate a few commands (not suggestions) we should keep in mind so that as Christians we aren’t lone rangers.
Rechargeable
Recharging is necessary these days, both with our technology and with our spiritual life.
Daniel and the ‘Wise Men’
The prophet knew, and I have since learned, that God’s ways are not our ways.
Inoculated
Sadly, a good portion of the church has, in a sense, been “vaccinated” against catching a full-on variant of Christianity.
Trash Talk
Political vitriol has been around as long as politics, but “trash talk” didn’t originate with a politician.
