One day, about eight years ago, God awakened me in the early morning hours and told me to sit in front of my computer. He was going to give me the most important page of information to share. Mind you, I was already more than a decade into my walk with hearing God. How could there be something new that warranted such “urgent” focus?

Little did I know that it was the missing piece in every aspect of ministry. If I could describe the covenant oath adequately, it affected when/if a person would hear God. It gave understanding to God’s discipline and punishment. How could this have never been taught to me in 50 years of church attendance? God was right, it was the most important page. Understanding the covenant oath made all the other pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly in place.

So, of course, it had to be a topic for discussion with the local pastors. In April, 2021, I included it in the monthly “Mark of Excellence” doctrinal newsletters. The cover letter and four pages of the newsletter are attached here. The page with the throne image is similar to the page that God had me create on that morning in 2017. What do you think? Have the local pastors been more effective in communicating the importance of the covenant relationship?
