Deep and Conscientious

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!

    S&H p. 12: 10-15

    “It is neither Science nor Truth which acts through blind belief, nor is it the human understanding of the divine healing Principle as manifested in Jesus, whose humble prayers were deep and conscientious protests of Truth, – of man’s likeness to God and of man’s unity with Truth and Love.”

    The phrase “deep and conscientious” struck me. Elisha’s actions and prayers were the same – he went into the chamber to “shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.”…

    Deep means to pierce, “extend far below the surface”, penetrate. Conscientious means to be diligent, dedicated, rigorous, thorough, wanting to do what is right.

    Nothing lukewarm about how Jesus, Elisha, and other prophets prayed. It was active and absolute. It is a good reminder for me not to be tepid or half-hearted about declaring the Truth. It demands conviction, commitment, and enthusiasm.
