Unseen treasures belong to everyone. However, not everyone perceives or embraces them. It is an unfolding lifelong challenge, one that we observe in Liz's life. Sometimes it is in some of our darkest moments that we realize what is not dark. Sometimes we don't see or appreciate the light of the treasures right in front of us. It is challenging for most of us to stay motivated to learn the lessons of our pain and our choices, let alone navigate the challenges of the treasures. Being a quiet distributor of unseen treasures in the lives of others is a gift -- for both the giver and the given. Often it is later in life that we begin to appreciate the process that our lives are unfolding and we have opportunities every day to recognize and provide treasures. It is our way of connecting and contributing to other humans in our world. Dr. Sten and Father Sam became very significant treasures in the life of Liz. They were the treasures that helped her survive the agony of her life. She didn't make it easy for either of them, yet they hung in there and continued to chip away at her severe and powerful demons. Treasure givers are people who understand the value of the gift, no matter when, if or how it may or may not be received. It is what it is. Life and treasures have so much to teach us if we're open to learning the lessons. A teachable spirit is a treasure in itself.
While the Museum's ever-growing collection of over 4,600 objects does not constitute the largest collection of Islamic art in the world, it is of exceptionally high quality. From this rich assortment, just over 50 objects have been selected from those that are generally not part of the permanent exhibition. This book brings to light those remarkable if lesser known treasures, with general and close-up photographs of the objects, and texts written by specialists from the Museum.
Flying the Colors is a major addition to the literature of marine painting. It focuses new attention on painters like James Buttersworth as well as the masterful handling of ship rigging and magnificent seas of Antonio Jacobsen. Of interest to any maritime enthusiasts, historians and collectors.
QUOTES FROM THE CHAPTER, "LET'S BE REAL" Do we have any understanding of the un-churched culture in which we live and the way these people view the church? Do we spend intentional time cultivating relationships with non-Christian people, or is our attitude one of "they know where we are, and they'll come if they want to?" If the church is truly to experience a revival, we must seek to understand the needs and thinking of "unchurched Harry and Mary." We need to stop playing our pious, religious games and realize that the church is to be a haven for broken, hurting people who feel they don't have their lives all together. And if we look at the teachings of Jesus, He consistently taught that it was those people who felt "they had it all together" who in fact were farthest from God! In no way am I diminishing the importance of sound doctrine, but I have often laughingly said that "we will be surprised when we get to Heaven at some of the people living in our neighborhood!" We must acknowledge our own struggles with complex issues and, at times, admit that we don't have God in a neat box and therefore don't have all the answers. Although sound theology is important, my Bible says first and foremost that they will know we are Christians by our love! Christ said that He had come, not to "comfort the already comfortable", but to "preach good news to the poor...to proclaim recovery of sight to the blind...to release the oppressed...and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Is that our message as well? If not, then it's time for us to be real!
In Seeking the Imperishable Treasure, Johnson tracks the use of a single saying of Jesus over time and among theologically divergent authors and communities. He identifies six different versions of the saying in the canonical gospels and epistles (Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, James, and Colossians), as well as the Gospel of Thomas and Q. After tracing the tradition and redaction history of this wisdom admonition, he observes at least two distinctly different wisdom themes that are applied to the saying: the proper disposition of wealth and the search for knowledge, wisdom, or God. What he discovers is a saying of Jesus--with roots in Jewish wisdom and pietistic traditions, as well as popular Greek philosophy--that proved amazingly adaptable in its application to differing social and rhetorical contexts of the first century.
