Shining a light on the weekly Bible Lessons published in the Christian Science Quarterly® 

Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?

Stand up and bless the Lord your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

Following the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, the Hebrew people are exhorted to praise God. Although bowing in prayer was a common form of worship (see Psalms 95:6, for instance), now the Israelites are to stand—a position called by one source “the proper attitude for praise.” 

The Bible Lessons serve as weekly study guides as well as the sermon in every Christian Science Sunday church service. Learn more at BibleLesson.com
