A new commandment

Love is the fulfillment of the Law
Every now and then people ask me why I write about the Ten Commandments. Didn't Jesus came to free us from the Law? Didn't Jesus came to fulfill the Law? Why write about something that has been fulfilled? We cannot do what Jesus did.
Well, Jesus taught me to answer a question with another question. So I challenge everyone who isn't sure about this law thing; When Jesus gave us the new commandment to love another as He loved us (John 13:34), was He commanding us to do something, yes or no?
If your answer is no, you don't believe what Jesus said. If your answer is yes, you know what to do: love one another. Do you realize what that means, to love one another?

Love is the fulfillment of the Law (Romans 13:10).

In loving others we fulfill the Law, just like Jesus did when He loved us. Yes, we can and must follow in his footsteps and do what we are told to do. This book series will open your eyes to the words of Jesus when He said He came to fulfill the Law. You will see what His plan for the New Testament generation is. Freedom in fulfillment! Romans 8:2 says:

For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Christ Jesus, has set us free from the law of sin and death.

Contract for audio book signed

Sacred Sabbath soon available as audio book!
Personally I love nothing better then to hold a real book, with pages, letters, a colorful cover and all, in my hands. I must admit I have sometimes purchased books only because the cover was so beautiful or the lay-out was just awesome! There are books everywhere in our house, I just love books! I do realize however, that millions of people find it easier to listen to books on tapes or CD's or to download them in MP3 format on their computers and i-pods. Thanks to modern technology the possiblities to reach people all over the world are endless.
I see it as exciting news that Tate Publishing is going to publish the first book in the Ten Commandments Series as an audio book. In doing so, we will enlarge our reading audience and reach more people with the good news. Jesus said in Mark 16:15

Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all mankind.

Sacred Sabbath nr. 1 in search engines

Google and AOL show 1st book in series
Excited and delighted, that is how I felt yesterday when I was checking out some search engines and discovered that the words 'Sacred Sabbath' showed the 1st book in the series as the nr. 1 search result at both Google and AOL. Now, I realize that those results change all the time and only give us a momentary glimpse of what is going on non-stop on the internet, but I thought it was awesome that the book showed up as the 1st result of more than a million websites. God knows what I am working on and He can prosper it! (Although you all buying a copy will certainly help too.) The internet is such a vast bulk of information. How do you get people to notice your work? I must admit I ask myself that question from time to time. Yesterday however, I was reminded of Psalm 1:3. The words hold such an incredible promise for those who seek and obey God; They will succeed in everything they do. Now, that is something to shout about!

Tate Publishing accepts 2nd book

Production 'Respectfully Yours' in full swing
One book doesn't make a series! That is why it didn't take Tate Publishing long before starting on the production of the 2nd book in this series! I believe Respectfully Yours (Revealing God's truth about well being and a long life) is a worthy sequel to Sacred Sabbath. I have used the same low key and down-to-earth style, many readers have become familiar with, to present the ancient teachings of the Bible. This time it is all about family relationships. As with the 1st book, this is not a book about rules. It is not about do's and don't's. It is about the way Jesus revolutionized traditional family concepts.
Christianity is not just a religion, it is a relationship and I am not afraid to say that we can learn all there is to know when we open up God's word in our efforts to restore, rebuild or simply reorganize our family life.

Enjoy the land

God did not have a retirement community in mind when He shaped the Sierra's

During the past few weeks we thankfully grabbed another opportunity to camp out in the Sierra's of Northern California and what a wonderful time we had! Thoughts about the nineth chapter of Sacred Sabbath are slowly coming to my mind while looking back on our vacation.
'Why would God make such an incredible beautiful country for millions of people? To merely exist and work as slaves? To build houses just about everywhere? To pollute nature? Do you think He had a retirement community in mind when He shaped the Sierra's, when He formed the beaches and when He created the forests? Do you think our excuses to postpone enjoyment of what He made for us, by about 50 years, will impress Him?
I believe God wants us to enjoy the land we live in, right now! Based on what God says in Isaiah 58:13-14 I wrote Sacred Sabbath. Check it out and re-think your life while you can!
