The Christ   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 The Christ.

Christ, as the spiritual or true idea of God, comes now as of old, preaching the gospel to the poor, healing the sick, and casting out evils.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p347: 14-17)

Wearing in part a human form (that is, as it seemed to mortal view), being conceived by a human mother, Jesus was the mediator between Spirit and the flesh, between Truth and error. Explaining and demonstrating the way of divine Science, he became the way of salvation to all who accepted his word. From him mortals may learn how to escape from evil.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p315: 29)

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)

Images of Thought   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.

Mortal mind sees what it believes as certainly as it believes what it sees.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p86: 29)

A material body only expresses a material and mortal mind. A mortal man possesses this body, and he makes it harmonious or discordant according to the images of thought impressed upon it. You embrace your body in your thought, and you should delineate upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness. You should banish all thoughts of disease and sin and of other beliefs included in matter.

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.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p246:17)

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Jesus established his church and maintained his mission on a spiritual foundation of Christ-healing. He taught his followers that his religion had a divine Principle, which would cast out error and heal both the sick and the sinning.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p136: 1)

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.

(Christian Science Hymnal 136 – V1)

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)
