Don’t Be Deceived Leave a comment
An interview with John Biggs. Click here to listen.
In this podcast John talks about how a new hobby of his – learning magic card tricks – gave him an insight into how spiritual healing happens. He explains that he leaned that in card tricks the audience believes they see something that wasn’t there or didn’t happen because they become distracted from the truth of what is happening by the performance. Healing in Christian Science is not magic but when we are distracted by an inharmonious situation we are blinded to the truth of what is really happening. Being alert to the distraction and focussing on the spiritual truth allows us to experience the true harmony of any situation. In this interview John explains this fully and gives examples of his own healings.

I love Thy way of freedom, Lord,

My presence still shall go with thee
And I will give thee peace.

It is God That Heals Leave a comment
This recording is of the Wednesday Testimony Meeting readings on the topic of God as the only healer. The readings are from the Bible (KJV) and the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.
.
The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus’ time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation. Now, as then, these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy pxi: 9)
Lessons from a Wasp Leave a comment
An article by a member of the Canberra Christian Science community (alternatively titled: Practice is essential) which was published in the 6 October 2025 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel.
I was walking across the lawn at the front of our house, enjoying the cool, squishy feeling of the grass under my bare feet, when suddenly there was an agonizing burning in my left foot. I live in Australia, where there are many things that bite and sting, and a pain of that magnitude is not a good thing. I spun around, looked down, and saw that I had been stung by a large wasp.
An often-used expression in Christian Science is “Know the truth.” It comes from Christ Jesus’ instruction “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Immediately, I did so, and as quickly as the first truthful, healing thought came, the pain left. There was no evidence of a sting, and I had no further reaction to it.
So what does knowing the truth really entail, and how can we be instant in our knowing of this truth that heals and protects?
As you can imagine, I was really grateful for the instantaneous nature of this healing. But healings are also wonderful learning experiences. Instead of thinking, “Wow! I’m glad that awful situation has passed,” I value how healings can help me to learn more about the law of God, divine Love, which governs me and all situations. I stop and think, “What worked there? Where was my thinking—was it on God or on the situation itself? What can I learn from this that will help me to be a more effective healer?”
I learned two lessons from this incident with the wasp. … Click here to read the full article: Practice is essential
