Dear Fellow Believers, 

Hardly anyone on this planet realizes that God is at peace with the world. Even the religion that holds the sacred Scriptures (Christianity) is ignorant of this amazing news—never mind the news is spelled out clearly in their own Book (2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Why would the Christian religion not want to see this?

Because if God is at peace with the world—then who needs Christianity? This religion claims to be the middlemen between us and God, ironing out the protocols that will keep God from sending us all to hell for eternity. The power brokers of this religion (the pastors and priests) need you to fear what God might do to you if you don't kowtow to THEIR recipe for salvation—which of course includes going to their church and subscribing to their teachings.

Thank God that He has revealed to us the peace wrought with all of humankind through the sacrifice of His Son. What is the result of knowing such peace? Peace! Nothing ought to be worrying us now. (Philippians 4:6) What other body of spiritual literature tells you not to worry? Yet this keynote of Paul's gospel is always ignored in favor of a magnification of the gospel given to Israel, which does indeed implore human beings to obey laws and endure to the end in order to be saved. What? Israel's revelation is limited? Indeed. God, through Christ, disclosed His deepest secrets, not to Peter, but to Paul.

Thanks to Rodney Paris who has made my talk given in Almont, Michigan in 1996 a real joy to listen to. The words are relaxing enough, but Rodney doubles the pleasure and fun with colorful video that keeps all senses engaged. Thank you, Rodney, from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of the Floridan peninsula.

And thanks to all of YOU for your love and support. You not only love the work, but you love ME. I feel it every day. You always make it known to me. I have never felt more loved and appreciated. I could not do this without you.

Grace, peace, and love from the peninsula,

—Martin
