In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

Counting to ten

How many animals went into the ark at a time? How many days was Jonah in the belly of the fish? How many times did Jesus tell us to forgive?
When Jesus called evil "a liar," he was showing us a vital step in Christian healing.
The worst abuses of television have earned it the name "visual drug." But we can exercise our God-established freedom of I thought in our choices about viewing.

Why gamble?

Lotteries and games of chance are becoming part of mainstream public financing in the United States, as they have been elsewhere. Yet for many people, including this author, many spiritual issues remain unresolved.
A Woman, moved by reports of abused children, vowed to pray daily about that issue until she saw clearly that God's government of infinite, powerful love does indeed bring healing to mankind.

Meeting Love's demands

Are there exceptions to Christ Jesus' command "Love your enemies"? What if we are faced with a threat, as this author was?

Where is the healing?

When we're in debt, it's easy to think that more money is what we should pray for. But is it?

What's really happening

Did you ever think of prayer as a way to find out what's true?
There's pressure these days to be a "take-charge" person. Maybe instead we should be finding out who is actually in charge.

I deserve to forgive

Real forgiveness calls for a fresh view — not just of the individual we are trying to forgive but of ourselves as well. We need a spiritual insight into what God creates.

Turning for home

Christ Jesus' parable of the prodigal son has been a comfort to many who have felt lost. But can the parable teach us something of how Jesus healed?
One evening recently, after a day alternating between instances of minor mischief and his muttering that "I just don't like myself," my six-year-old son responded reluctantly to my request for help by getting something that I needed for his baby sister, whom I was changing upstairs.
