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 for your post. This post along with a letter read from a Ukrainian soldier, at this morning’s Round Table Discussion, prompted me to submit this post and join in sharing one of the ways I have been praying this week about the war in Ukraine. The story of Hezekiah, in our Lesson, wonderfully illustrates what happens to the tyrant and one of my favorite verses is something Hezekiah says, “With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles.” (II Chronicles 32:8) It puts things into perspective. Mrs. Eddy states in Science and Health in the Chapter on Genesis (page 508) that the “seed is in itself” and “The only intelligence or substance of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the creator of it. Mind is the Soul of all. Mind is Life, Truth, and Love which governs all.” So armed with Hezekiah and Mrs. Eddy, my prayer takes shape in knowing that ‘the seed’ in all men respond to messages from their Father-Mother; thoughts of goodness; thoughts of righteousness; thoughts of brotherly love; and thoughts about what is just and right. Those messages are the great reformers and restorers of right, representing God with us, ‘fighting our battles’ by uplifting thought.



Love is the liberator.
