Publication To Be or Not to Be(Avondale Academic Press, 2012-01-01) Smith Simmons, Ella“Be” is a fascinating word. It more than captures
the attention and rigorously stimulates the
imagination. It is everything to everyone all
the time, yet poses a formidable challenge to
be harnessed and presented in a meaningful
way. The word “be” is most often coupled with
“to” usually in a passive form. However, great
implications result when the action verb form
of “be” is used. This has to do with a conscious
identity of active being. The Biblical text,
Micah 6:8, “to act justly and to love mercy and
to walk humbly with your God” (NIV), clearly
emphasises the active form of “be”.
