Synopsis of Four Beatitudes

Brokenness is the theme of the first Beatitude. The significance of being poor in spirit is simply that, as long as I was living my life under the fallacious notion that I was self-sufficient, I thought that I didn't need God in my life. I now realize that our need to love and know that we are loved by our Creator is at the very core of our being as children of our God. It is the motivating factor in our desire to worship our Beloved. Our Creators call for us to worship is our Beloveds invitation to simply enjoy being in the presence of the Holy ONE.

Blessed are the Merciful for They Will be Shown Mercy

Our beloved Lord Yeshuah said; "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Matthew 9:13. He was quoting Hosea 6:6; "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of Yahweh rather than burnt offerings." Forgiveness of others transgressions against us is the purest form of sacrifice after the laying down of our lives for others. The giving of our own life to save the life of a friend, (or enemy) is the supreme act of heroism.

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit, for Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

Throughout my 20's and early 30’s I fancied myself the Great Artist, my ego swelling with each affirmation. When people gave me the compliment; You have a God-given talent, I would respond with; If you knew how hard I worked to hone my abilities you wouldn't say such a stupid thing! During my mid 20's I read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Howard Roark was my hero even though he was fictitious. In my enormous delusion, I began to model myself after him.

Blessed are the Pure in Heart for They Will See God

God is a verb. God simply “IS”. God is the "Great I AM". When Moses asked God on Mt. Sinai, whom shall I say sent me, God said; “I AM THAT I AM”. Tell them that “I AM” hath sent thee. “I AM” refers to the verb to “BE”. And the essence of the verb to be is - “IS”. God simply “IS” God is a verb, “BEING” constantly alive - a Living “BEING” in constant expression of love which is continuously flowing through everything throughout creation; flowing through you and me.

Blessed are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness, for They Will Be Filled

Some time ago I had an encounter with my ego, which still smarts. I experienced what I have come to understand as spiritual pride. I have an ongoing, daily struggle with my submission to the fact that of myself I am nothing.

The Creation, (Mt.Vernon Nazarene University, Mt. Vernon, Ohio)

The Creation theme runs throughout the design of these windows. (Mt.Vernon Nazarene University, Mt. Vernon, Ohio) As an idol is not to be used to depict the HOLY ONE, the all powerful YHWH can, from traditional use, be depicted as the light of creation - the burning bush - a light revealing the presence of YHVH as a messenger to a person who is to do some incredible spiritual act to achieve some profound purpose.....

Diamond in the Rough

Sparkling, shimmering, frantic vibrations of light and color. A pitch so high it is beyond human senses. A pitch so low it emerges from the depths of that secret place unheard of. Mirroring the spark of all origins. Playful muse, circling the outer regions of sight and sound. Spiraling down to the depths of silence.

A Time is Coming

Why would Yeshua, who said; "Yet a time is coming and has now come when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth" place any importance at all on ‘inheriting the earth?' Didn’t he tell us to store up our treasures in heaven and not in the earth because in heaven, moth and rust do not corrupt?
