In December 2013, we established a radio program called Preparing the Way, which was a worldwide radio broadcast via the Internet dedicated to preparing the way for the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ in repentance, preaching holiness, righteous, and truth. While the program is no longer actively airing, we do have the archived episodes listed below.

Scriptural Basis
As the Scripture says:

"A voice is calling, 'Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.'" (Isa 40:3-5)

“And all flesh will see the salvation of God.'" (Luk 3:6)

"Get yourself up on a high mountain, O Zion, bearer of good news, Lift up your voice mightily, O Jerusalem, bearer of good news; Lift it up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, 'Here is your God!' Behold, the Lord GOD will come with might, With His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him And His recompense before Him."  (Isa 40:9-10)

“Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations.  The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: ‘Say to Daughter Zion, “See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.”’ They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.” (Isa 62:10-12)

"'Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,' says the LORD of hosts. 'But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.'" (Mal 3:1-3)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Sing a New Song

This is a song my son Christopher wrote around 2015 when he was around ten years old, which we have been singing in worship for years. I added more lines to it in 2026 and then composed the current version of it with the help of Mozart. This is a different melody than the one we sing and with additional verses. Round - Part A below is the portion Christopher originally wrote.

Blessed Are They

This is a song my daughter Faith wrote about 11 years ago in 2015 based on Psalm 119. She wrote the chorus and the first two verses. The Lord later inspired me to wrote the additional verses. We sing it to a different melody than the one in this video, which I composed using Mozart. I produced the video using PowerDirector with videos generated by Gemini.

Watch music video on Youtube.


Blessed Are They (lyrics) (Chorus) Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, Who walk according to the law of the Lord Blessed are they who keep his statutes And seek him with all their heart (Verse 1) I have hidden your word in my heart That I might not sin against you Praise be to you, 0 Lord; Teach me your decrees (Chorus) (Verse 2) Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light for my path I have taken an oath and confirmed it, That I will follow your righteous laws (Chorus) (Verse 3) Make your face shine upon your servant And teach me your decrees Streams of tears flow from my eyes, For your law is not obeyed (Chorus) (Verse 4) Before dawn I rise and cry for help I have put my hope in your Word Throughout the night my eyes stay open To dwell upon your promises (Chorus) (Verse 5) Seven times a day I praise you For your eternal righteous laws May my lips overflow with praise For you teach me your decrees (Chorus) (Verse 6) May my tongue sing of your Word For righteous are all your commands Let me live that I may praise you And may your laws sustain my life (Chorus) (Verse 7) Toward your statutes turn my heart And not toward selfish gain Turn my eyes from worthless things Through your word renew my life (Chorus)

So Great and Marvelous

This is a song I composed around 1996 based on Exodus 15:1-18; Revelation 15:2-4, which my wife helped me add more to around 1998. The melody in this video that was created by Mozart AI is not the original melody, but at least you can hear it sung. We are not musicians, so we do not have a recording of it other than this. We usually sing it acapella. Here are the lyrics, and you can disregard the chord, if you choose to sing it with the melody used in this video. The chords were added by a friend years ago who played it for us on his guitar, but we don't have that recording.

Watch music video on Youtube.


So Great and Marvelous D A So great and mar – velous D Are all Your deeds A Lord God Almigh – ty D We kneel at Your feet A Just and true D Are all Your ways A King of the Ages D G D Ancient of Days (D) A D Chorus: I sing to You, Lord G D You’re highly ex – al – ted A And You shall re –ign G D (D) G D Forever and e - ver (Forevermore) (repeat) D A Who will not fear You Dsus D And bring you glo - ry A For You are ho - ly Dsus D For You are ho - ly A Who is like You Dsus D Majestic in ho – liness A Awesome in glo – ry D G D Worthy of praise! (chorus)

Part of the lyrics for the outro (Reap Children Reap) are based on the lyrics to a song written by my dear, late friend and brother in Christ, Chuck Zierle in 1992.

The Fruit of the Spirit

This is a song I composed with AI help based on John 7:37-38; 15:1-5; Galatians 5:23; and Ps 1:1-3. I hope you will be encouraged and blessed by this song.

Watch music video on Youtube.


Fruit of the Spirit (Lyrics): [Verse 1] If anyone is thirsty Let him come to me and drink Whoever believes in me Let his heavy burdens sink Streams of living water Flow from deep within A well that never empties Overflowing from him (overflowing) You are already clean By the words I speak to you So remain in me forever And I will remain in you [Verse 2] I am the true vine My Father tends the ground He cuts off every branch That bears no fruit... no fruit is found But every branch that's bearing fruit He prunes with gentle hands To make it even fuller Walking in His plans [Chorus] No branch can bear fruit alone It must remain in me I am the vine, you are the branches For all the world to see If you remain in me And I remain in you You will bear much fruit (much fruit) Making all things new Apart from me You can do nothing [Bridge] Oh... the Father is tending He's pruning His land We surrender our branches To the Gardener's hand (mmm) We abide in the Vine We will cling to the root Growing in grace As we yield His fruit [Chorus] No branch can bear fruit alone It must remain in me I am the vine, you are the branches For all the world to see If you remain in me And I remain in you You will bear much fruit (much fruit) Making all things new Apart from me You can do nothing [Outro] The fruit of the Spirit is Love... joy... peace Patience, kindness, goodness Faithfulness Gentleness, self-control (Oh...) These are the inheritance Of the one who walks with God Love... joy... peace Patience, kindness, goodness Faithfulness Gentleness, self-control All these are the inheritance Of the one who walks with God (Walks with God...)

Take Your Stand

This is a song I composed using Mozart AI based on 1 Cor 15:1-8; Matt 28:6-7; and Isaiah 53. I hope it inspires and blesses you!

Watch music video on Youtube.


Take Your Stand

(Verse 1)
Brothers and sisters, look back to the start
Let me remind you what captured your heart
The truth that I spoke, the Word that you heard
The unshakable hope of the living Word
You welcomed it in, you gave it your all
Now stand in the grace that broke down the wall

(Chorus)
By this gospel you are saved
And the power of the grave defiled
Hold on firmly to the message I gave
Don’t let your faith be in vain, my child
Take your stand on the Rock that stays
Lift your hands to the Ancient of Days

(Verse 2)
For what I received, I passed on to you
The greatest of truths, forevermore true
Of first importance, the ultimate grace:
That Christ took our sins, and died in our place
The old holy pages foretold how He’d bleed
According to Scripture, the Savior agreed

(Chorus)
By this gospel you are saved
And the power of the grave defiled
Hold on firmly to the message I gave
Don’t let your faith be in vain, my child
Take your stand on the Rock that stays
Lift your hands to the Ancient of Days

(Bridge)
He was buried in the dark
Laid inside a cold stone tomb
But death could not hold the spark
Light shattered the midnight gloom!
On the third day He arose!
Just as the Scripture said
Conquered all of our foes
Firstborn from the dead!

(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)

(Chorus)
By this gospel you are saved
And the power of the grave defiled
Hold on firmly to the message I gave
Don’t let your faith be in vain, my child
Take your stand on the Rock that stays
Lift your hands to the Ancient of Days

(Outro)
On the third day He arose
According to the Word
Brothers and sisters, stand
Our Savior is the Lord
Don’t believe in vain
He is risen again
He is risen again

Laborers in the Harvest

This is a song I wrote in June 2026 and composed using the assistance of AI. It's based on the Scriptures in Psalm 126:5-6; John 4:35-36; Matthew 9:37, and John 9:4. I produced this video using Cyberlink PowerDirector. You can watch it here on Youtube or view it below, where I have also included the lyrics.


Laborers in the Harvest

Verse 1: The Sacrifice

Those who sow in tears
Will reap with songs of joy.
He who goes out weeping
Carrying seed to sow
Will return with songs of joy
Carrying sheaves with him.

Chorus: The Awakening
Open your eyes!
Look at the fields!
The harvest is ripe
The laborers few.

Verse 2: The Urgency
We must work while it’s day
And walk the narrow way;
For night comes soon
When no man can work
So let us serve and not shirk;
While the light’s still on our way
Let us work while it’s yet day.

Outro: The Call
Can’t you hear Your Master calling?
Reap! Children, Reap!
Can’t you hear Your Master calling?
Reap! Children, Reap!
(repeat 2 times)

Can’t you hear your Master calling?
Reap! Children, Reap!
Before the evening shadow’s falling,
Reap! Children, Reap!
(repeat 2 times)
