CORPORATE SEAL
Emblazon: The seal of the corporation shall be 2 inches in diameter,
circular, with the following detail and no other: A rocky landscape cendre aspersed with stones; a hill embroidery sable at the horizon per fess; a tree proper and hill averdant at the sinister horizon between the rocky landscape and the hill sable; a sun radiant surmounted by rain clouds, sinister to the honor point with a glory breaking through the clouds onto the horizon; a guitarist sajant in piety strumming an acoustic guitar proper between a lion couchant proper and a tree rebending proper, dexter; a lamb at gaze argent, sinister in base respectant with the lion; an aged parchment nailed to a tree with the Latin motto "ars longa, vita brevis," dexter in chief.
Interpretation: The sun represents God who sustains life with his warmth and displays the beauty of creation with his light. The rays of light represent God's abundant blessings. The rain clouds represent God's gift of Living Water, Jesus, who came from the heavens to the earth like the rain so that we may live. The tree and verdant field in the distant horizon represent the future. The distant tree represents the fruits of our labor when we are gone and the verdant field represents those who will be reached tomorrow by works today. The rocky landscape represents man's sinful nature, which produces no fruit, and the scattered rocks represent scattered lies that have kept the world from accepting Jesus. The tree in the foreground represents the tree of life and all of creation. The motto, "ars longa, vita brevis" means "art is long, life is short" and represents truth. It is nailed to the tree just as the Jesus (the truth) was nailed to the cross. The lion and the lamb represent Jesus Christ. The lion is "the lion of the tribe of Judah." The lamb is "the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." The lion and the lamb together represent the promised Messiah. The Man playing guitar represents Messenger Project, a musical adaptation of the Holy Bible to prepare the way for the Lord.
