It is what it is

Fiction: “We ‘use’ Christian Science to deal with problems.”

Fact: Christian Science helps us understand the world around us in an entirely different way. Where there seem to be limitations, it shows us we can soar. Where on the surface we see pain or suffering, Christian Science reveals freedom and comfort. 

So while it’s very easy (and very common) to think that Christian Science is something we have in our back pocket to use when things are tough, it’s really so much bigger than that. Yes, it will always be there for us to show us how God’s love can meet any need we might have. But healing happens most readily when we understand that we aren’t “using” Christian Science to fix something, but instead, that we’re recognizing the awesome reality of God’s total goodness.
