Unimproved opportunities.

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!

    “To fall away from Truth in times of persecution, shows that we never understood Truth. … Unimproved opportunities will rebuke us when we attempt to claim the benefits of an experience we have not made our own, try to reap the harvest we have not sown,…”
    from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 238

    One of our recent assignments given a the Roundtable was to read about the parable of the foolish virgins in Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy, page 341 in the article titled, “Fidelity.”

    I found in a bible commentary on falling away from God a reminder to have a proper preparation of the heart, something Mary Baker Eddy also addresses. The writer said, “No one who was dominated with thoughts of the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord would turn their back on the Lord.” He also wrote of the importance a strong commitment to God so that when temptation came it would give you strength. It has been recommended here at Plainfield to have a covenant with God and check it often.

    “Be active, and, however slow, thy success is sure.” Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy, page 340
