Surrender! You can only become a Christian when you raise the white flag and surrender to Christ. Jesus Christ is the God that all Christians worship. He is the one that came from heaven, lived a perfect life and died a gruesome death to pay the penalty for your sins. According to the Bible all people have sinned (Read in the Bible Romans 3:23) and the penalty for sin is death. (Read Romans 6:23) In other words you have blown it with God and your sentence is death. But Jesus Christ stepped in and took your place, dying on a cross, so that you can have your sins forgiven. Our God gave His life so that you would not have to suffer death.

But you can’t keep a good man down. Jesus stayed in the grave for only three days. On the third day He displayed His power when he rose back to life again. He walked on earth for weeks after his death and hundreds of people saw the dead man alive again. After that, He returned back to his home in heaven where he is waiting for you.

You become a Christian when God opens your heart and shows you that you desperately need a change. When you finally reach the end of your rope and say, “Okay, God. You win. I have made of mess of my life and now I am ready to turn it over to you.”

When that happens a transaction in heaven takes place: when you surrender to Christ God takes every mistake and failure that you have ever committed and casts them away. He completely forgives them. At the same time God gives you credit for the perfect life that Jesus lived. Therefore, when the Christian stands before God in heaven they stand not condemned for their sins and also credited with the perfect sinless life that Christ lived.

Christianity is a journey down the greatest path life can ever take you. It is an epic struggle between good and evil. And God only chooses men and women who can rise up to the challenge and who will be victorious in the greatest battle you will ever enter� the battle for your soul!

If you have never started the journey of life with God then He is calling you to make that commitment right now. God is asking you to bow before Him and declare your unconditional surrender.

You can surrender to Him in the form of this simple prayer.

God, I know that I have blown it with you. I have sinned and I believe that I deserve your punishment for my sin. Jesus, I believe that you stepped down from heaven and took my punishment on your back and shoulders when you were whipped, beaten and killed in my place. God today, I surrender to you. Today I commit my life to you. I will go anywhere you want me to go and do anything you want me to do. Today I declare that you are the Lord of my life. Please change my heart. Please give me the promise of living with you in heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you can say that prayer with a sincere heart and you really mean what those words say then God is at work in your life. He stands ready to change you from the person that you were into the person that he wants you to become.

If you made that sincere commitment then there are a couple of things that you need to do. The first and most important is to find a good church that believes the Bible and get involved! Tell them about this decision.

Chris, soldier from Fort Knox, “Like every new private I dream of being able to be a Ranger, but I also want a better relationship with God. I had been attending services where I found your book ‘Bullet Proof Faith’. It inspires me to not only be a better soldier, but also a better Christian. I realize now that I can possibly (maybe) live my life without being a Ranger, but I can not live or thrive in this life without God.”

Reginald, from jail, “I’m trying to improve my relationship with God. Since ’98 I’ve been in and out of jail, and I’m sure the Lord’s given me numerous times to get on the right path and I hope and pray this time I’ll find the right one.”

Enrique, soldier from Fort Jackson, “I just finished reading your book and I can’t tell you how much it has done for me. It really hit me right at home. I too have thought before that no matter what happens I will be going home. But at the same time if it were to happen, I feel that I also don’t want to leave my family. I’m not ready to. Yet, after reading your book I found myself touched deeply by your words. It basically tells me in my perception that I need to be strong because God needs me out here for whatever his reasons may be.”

Rodriguez, soldier in Afghanistan, “Thank you for the inspiring booklet, ‘Bullet Proof Faith’. Although I am already a Christian, your words brought me a stronger faith. As a Christian I also know if I die I’ll go home to heaven and be with my Savior. So, no matter what happens to me tonight, I’m going home.”

Paul, soldier in Iraq, “Thank you for your words of inspiration. I’ve been in the Army for almost 20 years and this is my first deployment. I guess the Lord and the Army have both blessed me to this point. The words you wrote in your booklet will keep me inspired and trusting for the next 50 weeks. Thanks for the service and sacrifice you have personally made for God and our country.”

Mark, soldier from Fort Benning, “I was talking with a friend after chapel services and he showed me your booklet. I recognized your name from the movie, Black Hawk Down. I decided to read the pamphlet. It really moved me. I am now using faith to motivate me to achieve my goal of becoming a Ranger. I wanted to say that your pamphlet has helped me to accept Christ and to become a baptized Christian.”

Mindy, fiance to soldier, “My fiance` just returned from helping the hurricane victims in Mississippi. He was unpacking and your booklet was among the papers he brought home. I sat down and read it and couldn’t fight back the tears. He will soon be leaving for a deployment in Iraq. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with others. It has been so helpful to us.”

Robert, businessman from Alabama, “I had the privilege of hearing you speak at a luncheon last month. I cannot tell you how much your words meant to me. I have mentioned it to several people and shown them your booklet. This has set off a chain reaction and several people have asked me for copies of it. Your story is truly inspiring and I look forward to the opportunity to see you again.”

Valerie, soldier from Fort Benning, “I want to express my gratitude and thanks to you for serving our country. My husband is currently in Iraq and I just returned from Korea. I take pride in serving my country and one thing that always comforts me is my faith in God. I read your booklet and I felt proud as an American and proud as a soldier. I know for sure if I were to die today I would spend eternity with God in heaven.”

Kevin, soldier from Fort Jackson, “I have prayed the prayer and asked for forgiveness. I feel like a new person and a better person. I realize I was living a sinful life but now I’ll strive to do better for God. Reading the booklet, ‘Bullet Proof Faith’ changed my life as a Christian and as being a better soldier.

Zach, soldier from Fort Benning, “I wanted to thank you for writing your booklet. I found a copy of it and was moved to tears while reading it. I was a Christian prior to entering into the service and your display of faith showed me an example of strength I never knew existed. I pray that if I am facing a similar situation in my military career I will be able to stay as strong in my faith as you. Thank you again for sharing your story with me.”

Douglas, soldier in Iraq, “Just when I needed inspiration the most your prayer came through for me. I’m at present in Iraq serving in a hospital with trauma, wounded and dying and no one to turn to. I need our Lord in my life now more than ever forever. I found strength in your words.”

Michael, soldier from Fort Benning, “I read your story and it struck me as one of the most amazing, inspiring stories ever. To know there is a chance I will see combat and war is scary, but I also use my fear to push myself farther. I have read and prayed the prayer. No matter what happens to me I know I’m in good hands. If by chance I die in combat, I will go home to my Savior.”

John, soldier in Afghanistan, “Thank you for helping me find something I already had. I invited Jesus into my life when I was younger but had turned away from his path. When I asked to have my sins forgiven it was like a burden was being removed from my heart. Thank you again for helping me find that path and I promise you, I will never stray from it again.”

Shateeka, soldier in Iraq, “I would like to thank you for your service and your powerful words in the pamphlet ‘Bullet Proof Faith’. I am definitely a believer, but your story made me even a stronger believer that God is real. I am currently serving my second tour in Iraq and since giving my life to the Lord I have noticed that it isn’t as bad as the first deployment. You have truly inspired me to continue to have faith in God. I cannot imagine living without God in my life.”

Jim, businessman from Michigan, “I wanted to tell you a neat story. I was on a plane and the lady next to me asked me about my association with the military. She then pulled out a copy of “Black Hawk Down” and asked me if I knew anything about it. She said that she was in the airport bookstore looking for something to read and that “something” told her to buy the book. She knew nothing about it or even the subject! So, I reached into my briefcase and pulled out a “Bullet Proof Faith” and gave it to her. I told her that it was the companion book! We then got into a pretty good spiritual conversation for the rest of the trip. She did not know the Lord. She didn’t accept Christ right then and there but only God knows where this will lead. Thanks for all you do!”

About the Book

Major (Retired) Jeff Struecker (a real life Black Hawk Down veteran) and his award-winning coauthor tell a space-based intelligence story of intense extremes in their new novel, Fallen Angel, named for the “Angel-12″ American satellite that is ambushed by China and falls 22,000 miles to land in remote Siberia. U.S. Sgt. Major Eric Moyer and his Special Ops unit are deployed to find Angel-12 and keep its advanced nuclear fuel from enemy hands-and there are many. A Russian shadow government bent on restoring the former USSR pursues the satellite as does the Chinese special forces group that knocked it from the sky. A rash of military and domestic hostage concerns ensues as the stark truth looms: three nations are racing to the satellite, but only one will get there first.

I hope that you realize that the military isn’t the only profession that takes time away from your family. Virtually every profession imaginable takes a commitment of time away from a family. So the principles that I will describe here are transferable to any walk of life.

The first and most important thing to keep in mind when trying to strike a balance between work and family is that your priority will always get the majority of your energy and your attention. Notice that I said energy and attention and not just time. You can devote a lot of time to something and still not put a lot of energy and attention into it. Conversely you can also devote a lot of attention and energy into something without giving it a tremendous amount of your time.

Now apply that principle to family and work. Work demands your time, energy and attention in order to be excellent at whatever you do. At the same time your family demands time, energy and attention in order to be a great spouse, parent or friend. If you cut corners on time, energy or attention at work someone in your office will figure it out and pretty soon you will no longer be the valuable employee that company needs.

The same is true with family. If you give them your time but don’t offer them your attention and energy they will quickly start to see that they are taking second place to something else in your life (namely your job).

There will be some periods where your family will demand a lot more time than others. There will also be periods where your profession will demand more time than others.

If you want to strike a good balance give the time and energy necessary to your profession while still saving enough of yourself for your family that you can give them your undivided time, energy and attention.

Many families can live with a spouse who puts in fourteen hour days if they know that they are the absolute center of that spouse’s world when they get home from work. However, there are also men and women who put in less than an eight hour day at work and yet come home and immediately go out the door to hang out with friends or tinker around with their latest hobby. Chances are that the first family will stay together much longer than the second family because they know exactly how important they are to the person who gives them the time, energy and attention they deserve.

So my recommendation is that no matter how much your profession demands of you give at least that much of your time, energy and attention to your family. With a lot of hard work and a ton of prayer a family can withstand any professional demands given this kind of commitment.

When people ask me this question, (and I have been asked this question probably one thousand times) they usually tell me that they were always taught that the Bible says “Thou shalt not kill” in the Ten Commandments. (Read Exodus 20:13) However, the best way to translate this word in the English language is Murder. The verse literally says, “do not murder”.

Most people instinctively understand the difference between killing and murder. The Bible has many references to killing and murder. It always paints a very severe picture of murder and the Bible directs that the murderer be punished. However, there are many references to killing in the Bible, however it doesn’t require punishment for killing.

For those that don’t recognize the distinction between killing and murder let me tell you my opinion about the distinction. The difference lies in the heart. Murder is always an act of hate and always comes from an evil heart. Whereas, killing isn’t motivated by hate. (Picture in your mind that you are driving home from work. You are being careful and obeying all laws. You drive through an intersection during a green light and out of no where a car to your right drives through a red light and you broadside them. In the accident you sustain cuts and bruises but no serious injuries. However, the force of the accident costs the other driver’s life. No matter how you slice it you have just killed another human being. However, no one in their right mind would call what happened murder. One human lived, one human died but the missing ingredient was hate that flows from an evil heart.) This is a simple example of the difference between murder and killing.

The natural question next is what happens on the battlefield? Is it killing or murder? If the difference between killing and murder resides in the heart then this question can be very difficult to answer. If the reason that you are pulling the trigger and “slingin’ lead” with the enemies of our country is because you hate them and you want to see as many of them dead as possible then you have probably crossed from killing to murder. However, if you are willing to put your life on the line and take your enemy’s life if necessary out of a love for your unit and your nation then I think what you are doing is an act of killing for the greater good of peace and justice.

Therefore, I have no problem standing on the battlefield and telling men to courageously defend themselves, their unit and their nation no matter how many enemy lives that it costs. But I also remind them that only two people know what is really happening deep in their heart while they are doing their nation’s duty… them and God.

And one day every person will have to stand before God and give an account for not only their actions but also for the intent of their heart.

So Christians… do your duty but guard your heart!

Jeff Struecker, a “Black Hawk Down” hero, the Army’s Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Pansama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God. Just as he told one of his charges in Mogadishu: “The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you’re scared, it’s what you do while you’re scared.”
