In the Christian Science Bible Lesson July 21, 2014 ISSUE

Letting Truth lead

For the Lesson titled "Truth" from July 21 - 27, 2014

Kathleen Collins

A sign on a church marquee: “Fight Truth decay. Study the Bible Daily.” This light-hearted play on words made me chuckle, but it also turned my thought to the foundational first tenet of Christian Science: “As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 497). Both Truth and Life are capitalized as names for God.

This week’s Bible Lesson, titled “Truth,” opens with a prayer for enlightenment: “O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me” (Psalms 43:3, Golden Text).
