…for such a time as this.

Personal Thoughts /

I was reading Mordecai’s instruction to Queen Esther when the plot had been made to annihilate the Jewish people:

“Do not think in your heart that you will escape in this king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise … from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:13-14) read more

The sound of the bugle…

Thoughts / 
I read today in I Corinthians 14:8 the following: 
 "And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound who will get ready for  battle?"

I have a concern for our nation and for the people who are being misled by the false messages of our culture. I have a burden to sound a Warning Trumpet to alert people of the approaching danger in our time. That is why I have created this web site and am sharing these thoughts. I have truly found the greatest meaning in my life through a relationship with the man who claimed to be God — Jesus of Nazareth.

My heart as I read the passage above was to ask that I might effectively sound a warning. May my voice not be indistinct but sound clear so that people take note and become aware that God is our hope — not the false messages of the man-focused ideologies that reject You. read more

…all that I am

Personal Thoughts /

I was reading today in Psalm 62:5-6:
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.’

This is a Psalm of King David.  It expresses such a true trust in God. 
I desire to have this same ever deepening relationship with my Creator, Savior, and Almighty God.
I want for all of us to have this kind of relationship with Him. 
Consider this powerful thought – “…all that I am.” – I want to constantly give ALL THAT I AM to His Lordship in my life.  All hope for now and my future – including my eternal future — is in Him.
He is my salvation and I am secure because He is my fortress.  Nothing can get to me that is not part of God’s plan for me individually. 
He is my rock — a solid rock that cannot be penetrated by the world, false narratives, flawed man-focused ideologies, or even demonic powers of evil.
Thank you, Jesus Christ. 
Into Your hand I commit “all that I am!”
That’s my Trumpet Blast for today.
Pat

Election Day Thought

Personal Thoughts /

With the election tomorrow it is my hope that the majority of U.S. citizens will vote for a platform that I believe is the more God honoring, rather than one that promotes sexual perversion, murder of unborn people, and has embraced the lies of Marxism that have enslaved the millions that have fallen under its domination around the world. 

I fought against Marxist ideology in Vietnam.  It is hard to believe that so many have been indoctrinated into voting for it today in America.  read more

…brought nothing in — carry nothing out!

Personal Thoughts /

Just read a couple of verses that jumped out to me in 1 Timothy 6.
[vs.7] “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”
[vs.12] “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called, and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

This puts all of life in perspective. We brought nothing into our earthly life and will take nothing out. read more
