I love this picture (a painting entitled "Word of God," by Mian Situ). It seems to be a painting that brings out the truths in the parable of the sower from (Matt 13:1-9; 18-23).
A clergyman, looking heavenward, is declaring the Word of God to a diversity of hearers, some engaged, others partially engaged, and still others ignoring him. All of these people are on a voyage together. While a storm seems possibly brewing in the distance, it is not presently upon them. A lifeboat is vaguely in the background (note: click on it to enlarge).
