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.
