Going the full distance 

It can take spiritual courage not to compromise with matter-based thinking. Moses’ example shows us how we can do this and find freedom and healing.

A real bargain 

Can we really strike a bargain with God? Well, “in asking for God’s help to accomplish a goal that genuinely reflects the goodness of our creator,” writes this author, “we give up, even if only a little, the very thinking that was tuning that help out.”
We want to shift from declaring what’s true to feeling that it is true.
Jesus taught us how to value the invisible things of the Spirit, hidden to our material senses.
This author explores why Jesus said to “ask” for healing in his name and why it isn’t outdated to do so today. It can’t just be surface words, but a true acknowledgment of the divine power that underlay Jesus’ healing works.
Here’s an encouraging message: “As we dig into the theology of Jesus explained in Christian Science, we find we’re not defined by material beliefs.” That includes sensuality.
We can close the door of thought on the fears and discords of material sense and open it to God’s revelation of harmony.
Loving and valuing Sunday School, as both pupil and teacher, is embedded in the heart of this author. She writes that since, in reality, we’re all the children of God, it’s natural to want to attend or teach Sunday School.

A perfect solution 

Listening to and obeying God, divine Love, leads us to find resolutions to health issues and solutions to other problems. As our thought adjusts and we see a higher view of ourselves as spiritual, not material, we “awake” to these inspired solutions.
We have divine authority for facing down fears of a problem’s recurrence; any spiritual progress we’ve made is permanent!
Trusting in God brings calmness and helps move solutions forward.
With the steady growth of AI or artificial intelligence, it’s incumbent on us to actively look to God for genuine answers and guidance rather than relying on material sources of information no matter how sophisticated they appear to be.
