In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

Fight the good fight

A few weeks ago, I was at a convenience store with some young Boy Scouts in my troop to get some snacks and a soda after a meeting.

Protection from sudden fear

Right then I took a stand against being transfixed by the intimidation of evil.

Trust your gauges

When someone is learning to fly on instruments, the flight instructor puts the student under a hood, a canopy that prevents the student from using visual cues such as terrain in order to control the aircraft.

I realized I needed to cling, not to person, but to God.

I was looking to food to provide the things that really only God could give.

Prayer and eating

When we pray about what to eat, we can really pray to honor the fullness of God's provision for man.

A spiritual scale? Now this was something I wanted to stand on!

Gambling—just entertainment?

A lottery jackpot win or a payoff from a slot machine does not illustrate the workings of divine Principle.

As we conform our lives to the example Jesus gave, we grow in our perception of spiritual reality.

Ready to heal

IN an earnest discussion among friends over lunch, one friend told of her heartfelt desire to be more responsive in everyday situations to people's need for healing.

Love the hate away

It was hard, but I tried to love her every time I saw her.

What's your top priority?

I resolved to put God first in every department of my life, no matter how much opposition was in the way.
