“He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God…” II Chronicles 35:22 He was a godly king who sparked revival, purged Judah of idolatry, cleansed the land and the house of the LORD, repaired and restored the Temple, found and read the lost Book of the Law in the hearing of...
After a couple of years of praying and trying for a child, The LORD blessed us with a beautiful baby boy. Over the past 10 months, it has been an absolute joy watching my wife become a mother. It is as if she was born for this role. The way she loves and cares for...

My wife and I make time to visit Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster, PA each year. If you have never been there, I highly encourage you to check it out. Every year, they perform a Broadway level show on one of the more well known Bible characters and their Biblical story. They even have...
