James & Tess Arendt
Our goal is to love God and our neighbor as ourselves, and as a result bring love to the whole world and peace and freedom and plenty for all!
Simply, our goal is to try to persuade everyone to love God and his neighbor as himself, and this would solve all the problems of the whole world! The whole world's problems--political, economic, social, religious and physical--could be solved through the Love of God and each other! That's what we teach and preach and that's our message, our life, our goal, our love, our everything: To love God and our neighbors as ourselves!
This is our specific religion and the religion of every Christian who truly believes in the Love of God in Jesus and the Bible! Jesus preached Love, and when asked what the greatest law was, He said God's only law now was Love:
"Love God ... and love thy neighbor as thyself!...In these are all the law and all the prophets!" (Mt.22:37-40) That's all the laws put together, the whole Bible--Love! If you have love you've everything!--You are fulfilling all the laws of God!
True love, real love, God's love, is all the religion you need! This unselfish, sacrificial love includes the love of one human being for another, love in all forms, as long as it is true love, real love, God's love!
This is our specific religion and these are the principles that we practice--Love, the religion which Jesus Himself taught, the good news that God is Love!
God is Love, not a cruel tyrant, not a monster who is trying to frighten everyone into hell, but a God Who is trying to Love everyone into Heaven! You must simply love Him, receive Jesus in your own heart personally (Jn.1:12 and Rev.3:20) and love others--that's all!
We can agree with everyone in the world who has His Love, because if you have true Love you have God, because God is Love! So you cannot have love without God, because God is Love, Love is God! Without Him there is no Love, for without Love there is no God!
Do you have His Love? We hope that you do! If you have Love you have God!--Jesus is Love!
My name is James Arendt. I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, and became a full-time missionary for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom.

If you like this website, you can show your appreciation by sending me a gift toward my support. My wife Tess and I moved from the island of Guam USA in June 2023 to the city of Allen in the province of Northern Samar, one of the poorer provinces in the Philippines. My only work is maintaining my websites, Deep Truths, and James Japan which costs me $300 per year now. And Tess is ministering to the local people giving them regular Bible Studies in three groups, children, teenagers and adults.
Since my wife and I moved to the Philippines, we sent up a new PayPal account to be able to link to our local bank. Unfortunately now all gifts to us must be specially marked, "Friends and Family or we will not receive it. My PayPal ID: james.arendt@jamesjpn.netRead my bio
