Peace, Truth, Love and Joy 

What the Bible is All About

The true Gospel Jesus preached would bring us, our families, our nation, and the entire world peace, love and harmony, if we understood, believed and did what Jesus said. The kind of life Jesus wanted his followers to enjoy — an abundant life characterized by peace, happiness, love and joy — is the kind of life everyone desires ... the kind of life we would enjoy if we believe and followed the teachings of Jesus and other biblical teachers.

The following two essays are must reading:   

Power of Love  — Know this to be true:  Love has the potential for bringing us and the entire world peace and harmony if we learned to love the way Moses and Jesus said to love.  How do we learn to love? You will find the answer in this essay. 

The Gospel of Peace — Know this to be true:  The Gospel of peace that Jesus preached and commanded his disciples to preach to every creature in the world has to potential for bringing peace, joy, love, happiness and harmony to us, our families, our nation — the entire world — if people understood, believed — and did — what Jesus said. Learn the truth: The entire Bible is about peace, truth, love and joy. 

In this essay, you will:

• Learn the truth about what would save us, according to what Jesus and other biblical teachers taught, which isn’t taught in mainline churches (at least these biblical teachings are not made clear).

• Learn the truth about what we must do to discover the truth that makes us free—what we must do to find peace, joy, and happiness. About 3,000 years ago, Isaiah left the secret for us. Jesus confirmed what Isaiah said; however, Jesus’ use of the personal pronoun I might have caused many to gloss over this gem of wisdom.

• Learn the truth about when wars, suffering, and violence will end, according to what Isaiah and Jesus said. Think about it: A world in peace and harmony. Although it is incomprehensible, it’s possible—if only we understood, believed, and did what biblical teachers said.  

These two essays might be among the most important topics you have ever read. However, most likely you will be interested in some of the following topics.

Anger: The Hidden Killer  — Repressed Anger! The Hidden Killer!  When we manage and control our anger, we still have it.  Learn the truth. We free ourselves from anger by knowing the truth that makes us free.

Love and Loving Relationships — You will never be satisfied anyplace, with anyone if you are not satisfied with yourself'; most people aren't. Being satisfied with yourself is one of the most important contributions you can make to a loving, satisfying relationship.

Our Purpose in Life — When we are fulfilling our purpose in life, we are happy, satisfied, and contented. Our purpose is quite simple. You will know your purpose when you read this essay.

Truth Is the Way — Regardless of what might plague you (anxiety, depression, anger, jealousy, hate, phobias, emotional insecurity, and so on), truth is the answer. Truth is the way. The truth that sets us free frees us from the hidden cause of all mental turmoil and suffering. 

How to Be Happy — Learn the truth. The infallible secret for finding happiness (a fervent desire of everyone) has been known for more than 3,000 years; it’s in the Bible.

The Secret to Good Health — Learn the truth. A vast majority of illnesses is caused by the mind. The ultimate healing is achieved by knowing the truth that makes us free. 

Why Christianity Is Not Working — Learn the truth! The teachings of the Gospel of peace, truth, and love  that Jesus commanded his disciples to preach to every creature in the world has been glossed over. One of the most serious failures of mainline churches teaching people how to do the things the biblical teachers taught; for example, how to be perfect. 

Know Thyself; Know Truth — Socrates said, "Know thyself." This ancient gem of wisdom (popular about 500 years BC) is the simple secret to a peaceful, happy, contented life. 

The Best Sex Possible —  You can forget about aphrodisiacs and all that stuff in superficial sex manuals when you know the secret to the best sex possible.

In summary, the ultimate wisdom for finding peace, joy and happiness — what every one desires — is knowing the truth that makes us free. The only way to discover the truth that makes us free is by being still and listening to ourselves. In biblical language, this is the same thing as doing what David the Psalmist said to do: "Be still and commune with your own heart" ... all made clear in the essays referred to above.
