The Watchword of this Blog

"This is what the Lord says: 'Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.'" --Jeremiah 6:16.

About this Blog

This blog originally published only about the 18th century Moravians. I felt and continue to believe the early Moravians were a mighty force of faith for the Lord.

That said, I have branched out with a new title for the blog - "No Plan B". The net is thrown wider as the blog morphs. The title is the guiding light for material. It wants to communicate that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father and the glorious future He has for His people. There is no Plan B.

Thanks for your visit.

Key Concepts of the early Moravians

Self-denial, sacrifice and prompt obedience are three concepts demonstrated by the first generation of 18th century Moravians.

Adelaide L. Fries

Most of the diary quotes found in the Moravian portion of this blog were translated from German to English by Adelaide L. Fries. Adelaide was a lead scholar with respect to the history and genealogy of the Moravians in North Carolina. Her contributions include being an author, editor, translator and archivist.

Would that every Christian, watched this video - and more than once. Was it not Jesus who said: "I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest."

Description of my other blog: The Faces of War

Every face has a story. Every photograph captures an account of that person and their emotional condition. Consider the emotions captured in my Civil War series titled - “The Faces of War.” All images are candid which is to say that none of the subjects knew they were being photographed.
