Tolerance   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 Tolerance.

Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother,

(The Bible KJV – Malachi 2: 10)

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

(The Bible KJV – I John 4: 20)

Live Peaceably with All Men   Leave a comment

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

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

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(The Bible KJV – Romans 12: 9,10, 12, 14,18)

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)

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)

Thy Will Be Done   Leave a comment

These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. They are on the topic of: Thy Will Be Done.

I love Thy way of freedom, Lord,
To serve Thee is my choice,
In Thy clear light of Truth I rise
And, listening for Thy voice,
I hear Thy promise old and new,
That bids all fear to cease:
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)
