In the Christian Science Bible Lesson

Embrace the wilderness

I suddenly realized in awe how far God had brought me through this trying time, sustaining and guiding me.

Feeling safe in a dangerous neighborhood

Leaving a friend’s house where he’d been working on a group project, this high school student suddenly realized he was in an area of his city that was known for high levels of crime. His only option: Pray.

Welcome home

Christ Jesus expanded our concept of home beyond physical habitat to a deeper perspective that includes unity, comfort, and healing.
As we pray from the standpoint of spiritual fact—that God is omnipotent Love, that we are Love’s totally loved children, and that our health and harmony cannot be lost under His loving government—this makes prayer effective.
This week’s photographic inspiration and related text.
After previous boyfriends questioned Christian Science or told her that God wasn’t real, this college student felt nervous about talking about her beliefs with her current boyfriend. As she prayed about how to do it, she got a surprising answer: Share Science and Health.
In my own prayers to support public welfare and retain sovereignty over my life and body, I find guidance in remembering that we have inviolable spiritual rights under God.

Good that’s never wasted

The simple truth is that any and all good that was an expression of God, Spirit, anywhere over the past 20 years and more can never be lost or wasted, because its continuity remains with God. That’s true for Iraq and Afghanistan, too. 

Safe on the school bus

Greg felt upset riding around on the wrong bus. He didn’t know where he was going or where he was supposed to get off.

Knowing God as Love

It is always possible to gain a clearer, higher, and holier view of God’s forever, spiritual creation—to see as divine Love sees!
We don’t have to view life as an endless list of problems to be overcome.

He lifts us up

It dawned on me that Jesus’ view of God included both fatherly strength and protection and motherly love and care.
