our breaking of our Covenant with You.

Not only have we done things we ought


not have done, said things we ought not to

ought to have done and been silent when
we should have witnessed for You.

Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but


we have also closed our eyes and pretend-

the evil which pervade our everyday lives.

We have shut our ears and pretended not

Stewardship
THE RESULTS OF A REDEEMED LIFE

A
sense of oneness is a natural product of love, and it is accompanied by a consciousness of security.
Through our sense of oneness with God, the greatest possible sense of security is realized;
therefore, all fear is readily and completely cast out. John emphasizes the fact that in order to love,
we must necessarily love our fellow men. A love that is adulterated in any degree by hatred for anything or
anybody is not pure enough to discern the great love of the Infinite, which unifies all men.
Jesus said that love of God is the greatest commandment. “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And
a second like unto it is this, “Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the
whole law hangeth.” Divine love is such a transcendent thing, that words describing it seem flat and stale.
But words used in right understanding quicken the mind, and we should not despise them. Affirming that
we do love God with all our heart, with all our might, will cause us to feel a love we have never felt before.
No beer treatment for the realizaon of divine love can be given than that recommended by Jesus.
Jerusalem, the Holy City, represents the love center in consciousness. Physically, it is the cardiac
plexus. Its presiding genius is John the Mysc, who leaned his head on the Master’s bosom. We establish
the ruling atudes of mind throughout our bodies by our daily thoughts, and they may or may not be in
harmony with Principle. Our dominant thought about love will show forth in the heart center and establish
there a general character. The loves and hates of the mind are precipitated to this ganglionic receptacle
of thought and crystallized there. Its substance is sensive, tremulous and volale. What we love or what
we hate builds cells of joy or pain in the cardiac plexus. In divine order it should be the abode of all that is
good and pure.
To be in subjecon to God is the highest goal of human aainment. The spirit of obedience is
the spirit of love. Love is the most obedient thing in the universe. It is also the greatest worker and will
accomplish more for our happiness than all other facules combined. If you want a servant that will work
for you night and day, culvate divine love. At mes, there may be obstacles in the mind that interface
with this fellowship of love. One of them is the thought that we owe our neighbor something besides love.
For some wrong, fancied or otherwise, we think we owe him punishment. God tells us that we owe him
love only, and by sending him the word of love the law is fulfilled, and the barrier is burned away. We must
make friends with everybody and everything in order to have this mighty worker called love, carry out for
us the divine law.

The Artists-in-Residence Ministry
Welcomes Visual Artist, Mark Bradford

“Making Art Accessible”


A Panel Discussion
Sunday, May 22
2:30 p.m. - Sanctuary
MAKING ART ACCESSIBLE will feature a panel discussion lead by
Mark Bradford, a world-renowned visual artist and recipient of
the 2009 MacArthur Fellowship. Bradford’s upcoming exhibition,
Mark Bradford, opens on Saturday, May 28, 2011 at the Museum
of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Bradford’s work explores how time,
culture, and even artistic practices can be seen as a layering of
present experiences over the past, which either faces or is transformed into something new. Bradford
is part of a yearlong creative residency that builds on the MCA’s long history of working with artists,
and exemplifies the artist-activated, audience-engaged MCA vision. The Mark Bradford Project is a new
endeavor that connects Bradford with various Chicago communities to interact around the creative
process.

The panel discussion will focus on the visual arts and the Black community and will be moderated by
Marquis Miller, Trinitarian and board member of the MCA, and also includes Patrick Thompson, and
Mitch Anderson, Co-Chairs of the Artist-in-Residence ministry. The panel will engage the audience on
three key issues:

• What are common conceptions (and misconceptions) about art in the Black community?
• Why is a higher understanding and valuation of
art beneficial to the Black community?
• How can art be used as a tool to help save the
next generation(s)?

Bradford will conduct a “masters class” with Trinity


UCC’s young artists immediately following the panel
discussion.
