Send Me!

This week's Bible study is a "call to action" from God Himself. He is asking Christians and Christian officers, "Who will go for us" ("us" being the Triune God -- Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Even in these trying times for us in law enforcement, our answer should be a resounding, "Send me!"

Warriors for Christ

 Understanding our wholly biblical servant-WARRIOR ethos and calling:  "Warriors for Christ."

A Christian "Law Enforcement Code of Ethics"

 For us old timers (sadly), the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics was something we memorized in the academy and actually applied to what did do/did on the street.  Now here's the Christian (God's) version of this classic document (in Bible study format): The Christian Law Enforcement Code of Ethics.Image


Rest in Peace?

 So many say things like "RIP" or Rest in Peace when a colleague, friend or family member passes away.  However, do you know that this term actually means and who is reserved for?  Folks, ONLY those who have been born again in Christ BEFORE they die will actually "RIP."  So important that we get this right.

A "Code 3" Sense of Urgency

This latest crisis should be a reminder that we who believe must have a "Code 3" (lights and siren, emergency) sense of urgency to share the hope we have in Christ with the lost.  For the believer, we should be without fear, while those who are lost (non-Christians) who choose to stay that way have EVERYTHING to fear.  Here then is "A Code 3 Sense of Urgency."
