A Daily Lift by Judy Olson, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher.
.
In this brief podcast Judy tells how she was cautioned by a well meaning friend with the old saying: “Don’t be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good”. She explains how, when she thought about this, she realised that the more heavenly minded she was then the more use she was to the world. She gives a beautiful example of this in her own life.
God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.
Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.
And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
(The Bible – Acts 17: 24-28 NKJV)

An article by Nancy Ellett Staal originally published in the March 16, 1998 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel.
Do you ever wonder if prayer can help others far away who are involved in a catastrophe?
I know that it can. Prayer uplifts thought to God, who is “a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46: 1). Prayer has an inspiring, healing effect on both rescue workers and individuals needing to be rescued or cared for. Helping the victims of a disaster through prayer is practicing the Golden Rule: “As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” (Luke 6: 31).

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

A Daily Lift by Laura Remmerde
.
In this short podcast Laura describes how a conversation with her young grandson made her think more deeply about God’s love for all mankind.
Though I may speak with moving words,
Which can inspire the human heart,
But have not love to seal their worth,
They are but sham and empty art.
.
Though I may give my worldly goods
Without a thought of self or gain,
Unless they bear the fruits of love,
They are as clouds without their rain.
.
Though I may search the deepest books,
Companion with the wisest men,
God’s loving voice still calls to me,
It bids me turn and look again.
.
Now I would learn to know this Love
Through meek and patient ministry,
Until my life has grown anew
And Love is All-in-all to me.
(Hymn 588 from the Christian Science Hymnal – words by Fenella Bennetts inspired by I Corintians 13)
