New Year Resolutions   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 resolutions for the new year and beyond.

Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea. Gladness to leave the false landmarks and joy to see them disappear, — this disposition helps to precipitate the ultimate harmony. The purification of sense and self is a proof of progress. “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p323:32)

A Spiritual Perspective on Time and Ageing   2 comments

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.

… beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(The Bible – II Peter 3: 8)

Never record ages. Chronological data are no part of the vast forever. Time-tables of birth and death are so many conspiracies against manhood and womanhood. Except for the error of measuring and limiting all that is good and beautiful, man would enjoy more than threescore years and ten and still maintain his vigor, freshness, and promise. Man, governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and grand. Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness.

I Was Searching for the Truth   Leave a comment

A Christian Science Perspective article from the Christian Science Monitor by Yetel Macías Reyes

I became acquainted with Christian Science a little over a decade ago. Like many people, I was searching for the truth. I had taken courses and read books about different religions and philosophies, and I was practicing a philosophy that basically said I was God: If my thoughts were good, things would go well. If not, they would go badly. This was a heavy burden on my shoulders.

I was facing tremendous challenges at the time: a job loss, great loneliness, and the care of a young daughter with a chronic respiratory disease. As a single mother, I felt overwhelmed.

Models in Thought   1 comment

We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives.
