Be of One Mind   1 comment

… be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Be of the same mind one toward another. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(The Bible – KJV: Romans 12: 2, 10, 16, 18)

Protection   1 comment

These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. They describe the protecting power of divine Love.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (The Bible – KJV: Psalm 27: 1)

I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. (The Bible KJV: Psalm 55: 16, 17)

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (The Bible KJV: Psalm 91: 4)

Natural Disasters – Not of God   Leave a comment

These readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy give us reassurance that natural disasters are not from God who is Love.

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

(The Bible KJV – Psalm 107: 19-21)

To Love God   Leave a comment

Simply asking that we may love God will never make us love Him; but the longing to be better and holier expressed in daily watchfulness and in striving to assimilate more of the divine character, will mould and fashion us anew, until we awake in His likeness.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p4: 17-22)

There is No Evil   Leave a comment

These readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy are on the topic of the omnipotence of God, good, and the nothingness of evil.

In the Saxon and twenty other tongues good is the term for God. The Scriptures declare all that He made to be good, like Himself, — good in Principle and in idea. Therefore the spiritual universe is good, and reflects God as He is.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p286:16)
