Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-uh-oo-uh) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray that this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of the Lord. This is the 25th day of the 2nd month of God's Sacred Calendar in the year 6012 Anno Mundi.

It is one week and two days until the evening of the 6th day of the 3rd month which is Pentecost Sabbath (Sunset on Sunday, May 11 on the 2008 Gregorian calendar). I pray that this may be the time for the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit in power and truth on the 144,000 to prepare the world for the final judgment.

Work on the book is progressing rapidly. I have already selected an online publisher and created a rough draft. It is available for download and review at:

www.lulu.com/iaua

I recommend against purchasing a printed copy at this time since this is only a rough draft. I expect to have a suitable first printing ready by May 12th.

I am overjoyed to discover that I am not going to have to be involved in distributing and mailing this book. The online publisher provides an online store which handles taking orders and mailing. I will merely direct visitors to my website to the online store should they desire a copy of the book. The cost is very reasonable since I will not be getting any royalty on the printing of the book.

I do encourage you to download the book and if you have time I would appreciate any comments, criticisms or suggestions.

I was listening to 3ABN Radio this morning and I heard this verse quoted.

Philippians 2:12
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

It immediately struck me one way to understand that verse. Of course, it does not means that we obtain salvation by our own works. Many confuse my practice of my beliefs with salvation by works. I practice my beliefs because I am saved.

The Bible is crystal clear about how we are saved.

John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

We are saved by believing in the Messiah. If we do not practice our belief then we do not really believe. If we do not grow, strengthen, and practice our belief by studying the Bible, then we deceive ourselves.

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Our salvation work is to develop our belief beyond a superficial statement "I believe." Our work is to make our belief personal through our own study of the Bible. Remember that the Bible is the source of truth not what the pastor or church says.

My website or my book is not the source of truth either. My purpose is only to get you interested in studying the Bible more deeply. I am pointing you to items of Bible study that are often overlooked. I overlooked them for fifty years.

Study the truth for yourself! Don't let the church or its leaders tell you that the "Law of Moses" is "nailed to the cross"! What does the Bible say! Look it up! Read it! Study it!

Malachi 4:4
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

Do you think "Remember" means to ignore or "nail to the cross"? Does it mean to know, to study, to believe, and (Dare I say it!) to practice?

I pray that we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-uh-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.

Shabbat Shalom,
