Established 1898 – "...intended to hold guard over Life, Truth, and Love." –Mary Baker Eddy

Why we chose this topic

“Cynicism and despondency can seem the order of the day,” opens this week’s featured piece on countering the negative expectancy that has infiltrated so many hearts today. But those bleak states of mind are not where the author finishes his article, and it’s not what our accompanying archive pieces highlight. A God-centric spiritual perspective can reverse a downward mental spiral, and these pieces illustrate the practical impact of such a reversal of what are ultimately false expectations, given the nature of God as ever-present and all-powerful Love. With every glimmer of God’s love, anticipating good rather than evil becomes more natural to us, because expecting and experiencing good are native to what we truly are as God’s precious children.
