Values, Character, and a Christian Worldview Contribution to the U.S. National Security
I this paper I will be writing about values, character, and my personal Christian
worldview as a Non-Commission Officer (NCO) in the United States Army for the last five
years. How those become distinctive in my leadership style and how I have been able to test
those principles while contributing to the national security of our country.
Rationale
The vast majority of the United States and Latin-American has been characterized for
religious inclination in this case for the Christianity. To the extent of being key essential in the
foundation of the Unite States of America. We can find word in example like the US Constitution
attributed to our believes such a “blessing” despite not being used the word God, in the other
hand most of the state’s constitution have as a reference God or a divine power. God also appears
in the Declaration of Independence, the US currency, and the Pledge of Allegiance. The U.S.
Supreme Court established the clause in the 14
th
Amendment in where separate the church from
state, but not religious from politics or public life. Therefore, any person who practice a faith it is
free to bring religious convictions into the public administration.
The Congress in the grand majority is composed of Christians. It is important for me to
mention this fact since this I believe gave us a better understanding of the values, ethics,
characteristic of our people. We can see the form of our government in the Bible verse (Isaiah
33:22 NIV). “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is He
who will save us. “There is an unfortunate trend in America today toward the belief that religious
and politics are two separate entities that can’t intercept.” (Nelson, 2021, para. 1). It is possible to
possess sound judgement and valuable contribution to the public administration and or not

To my understanding within my role as a leader in the United States Army, I believe they
have been for the many years’ values and ethical conduct that we must follow in place. One
notable example of how we are told we should conduct ourselves is the Army values. Army
values are simply a guidance in where every Soldier with diverse cultural background, education,
and creed can come together. I have on many occasions used my belief to better understand the
purposes of my job, and how while performing demonstrate my faith and love for God and
family. In Christianity there is few protest denominations, I will be hoping to compare in the best
conceivable way the Pentecostal and Non-denominational. Most of the values in whereas I grew
up were Pentecostals, but as I became an adult grew in me and understand that services and to
follow Crist have a bigger connection with how we nurture and build a relationship with God.
“The moral life is an important dimension of Cristian faith, and an integral part of any culture
and society.” (Hollinger, 2002.).
Conclusion
To conclude, it is important for us leaders and public servants to have an understanding of
the role and contribution to the national security of our country. By upholding moral values,
ethics, and display of character we can with our testimony demonstrate our faith. With this paper
an understanding of the Cristian world view and how this contributes to organizations such as the
US Army or National Security Council. This could be essential to demonstrate how excellent tool
for leadership development, policy making to mention some examples. National security
depends on leaders and in times such as these it is imperative to possess character, values, and no
better one such as those who are Christlike for the service of our Nation.
