The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the above post, Susan. I have found in Charles Spurgeon’s writings that he explains ‘a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart’ as a person in whom –
– all idea of self importance is gone,
– frivolity and trifling have gone – a broken spirit is serious, solemn and in earnest,
– hypocrisy is gone,
– our relationship with God is genuine and not superficial.
This chimes with the above post, that our sacrifices must be of ungodlike thinking and acting. I am so grateful to be learning this, and improving my understanding of the teachings of the Bible, through finding Plainfield. Much gratitude to the writer of this week’s lesson.
