Overcoming Evil with Good   1 comment

These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and are on the topic of Overcoming Evil with Good.

The only power of evil is to destroy itself. It can never destroy one iota of good. Every attempt of evil to destroy good is a failure, and only aids in peremptorily punishing the evil-doer. If we concede the same reality to discord as to harmony, discord has as lasting a claim upon us as has harmony.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy 186:19)

The Power of Love   1 comment

If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

(The Bible KJV – I John 4: 12)

Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power.

Gratitude   Leave a comment

These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and are on the topic of Gratitude.

To keep the commandments of our Master and follow his example, is our proper debt to him and the only worthy evidence of our gratitude for all that he has done. Outward worship is not of itself sufficient to express loyal and heartfelt gratitude, since he has said: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p4:5)

I love Thy way of freedom, Lord,
To serve Thee is my choice,
In Thy clear light of Truth I rise

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

One Grand Brotherhood   2 comments

Giving does not impoverish us in the service of our Maker, neither does withholding enrich us.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p79: 31)

God gives the lesser idea of Himself for a link to the greater, and in return, the higher always protects the lower. The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother’s need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another’s good.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p518: 13)

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

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)
