Welcome to the Covenant of Peace website!

At this time, the main content of this website is an HTML-formatted book named Covenant of Peace: A Return to Holiness. This is a good place to get started.

A fundamental component of preaching the gospel is that it is not for sale. God is not for sale. Jesus alone is the head of the church. Understanding, following, and endorsing the gospel of Jesus Christ is not subject to political association. It is about being governed by questions of conscience, reasoning, and wisdom that flow from the love of God as Father and of God's goodwill toward mankind, in which the church partners with Jesus to love one's neighbor with liberating compassion.

The principles that believers follow emanate from obedience to God's compassion, by which restored relationship and eternal life with God are 100% available on earth and in eternity. The journey begins with a complete understanding of the New Covenant, an Everlasting Covenant of Peace for each generation, with no end in sight. This understanding was a primary motivation for writing the book and allowed for flexibility in updating it accordingly.

The rules for publishing the Good News have changed with new technology, and there are many challenges. The age-old message of the gospel has not changed, but the means of conveying it have changed. Many religious paradigms are being challenged, as indeed they should be. The world is no longer flat. The Holy Spirit and God's ability to speak are not confined to a book. Believers are the Lord's written epistles.

Great care must be taken to safeguard the unwavering truths of the gospel while demonstrating grace as Jesus did, who cared for the invisible ones of society. We get a picture of this kind of leadership when Jesus rode a subservient donkey into Jerusalem, all the while being worshipped as the blessed Messiah who comes in the name of the Father. It was not a war horse - it did not promote the kingdoms of the earth. It advocated for peace with God despite the demands of governmental and religious authorities who want to use religion to control and to exact taxes.

The power of the New Covenant is that God writes His laws directly on the hearts and minds of believers. God actively teaches them what is pleasing to Him through the person of the Holy Spirit, such that responsibility rests with each believer. This is the foundational principle behind the Upside-Down Kingdom of God.

With, in, and through the Holy Spirit comes the indivisible nature of the Godhead. The bride, the church, is seated in heavenly places with Jesus Christ. This is a present reality of the kingdom of heaven come to earth, just like it was experienced with the Apostles in the beginning of the church.

Ambassadorship in Christ means being committed to Christ as principled peacemakers whose acceptance and approval, along with all the appropriate measures of accountability and godly discipline, lead to representing Christ to a lost world.

I ask you to step out of the boat with me and to draw nearer to Jesus. This is not just about trying to convince others of my theology, but to suggest that you clearly hear and discern the voice of Jesus. It has been a 50+ year journey of listening to the Holy Spirit and having a solid biblical foundation with much care and caution.

Any of us is drawn to teachings in which we recognize Jesus. These writings represent my Understanding after many years of research, beginning with seeking Jesus' face. I realize that some of these are controversial and may not align with various denominational teachings. However, I've come to understand that my questions about such teachings can only be answered by hearing from Jesus, a process that involves understanding scripture and researching doctrinal schisms.

More importantly, I began to trust the voice of the Holy Spirit as He guided me in this learning process. My conclusion is that Jesus is alive and that He constantly subjects the church and the world to His Greater Glory and Greater Grace with Faith working through Love. Herein is the truth behind peace with God.
