Biography

My name is Matthew Cook and I am a 27 year old Nutritionist from Ohio. God has given me 2 daughters and 1 God fearing wife. I accepted Christ in a Pentecostal church and after much disagreement with its theology, God moved me to seek a new church home. I am now faithful to Kings Chapel Reformed Baptist church in West Chester Ohio. I am in full agreement with the doctrines of grace. I am a regular visitor to many reformed sites with www.aomin.org being the most frequented.
