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 including the story of the enslavement of the people of Ziklag in this week’s lesson. I’m unfamiliar with that story and I was struck by how after the enslavement of the Ziklag people and their remaining relatives wailed for their loved ones and called for David’s blood, he went first to God, not on the defensive in an effort to save his own neck. David’s own wives were among the captives yet he did not react in anger. David looked to God alone for direction. With God on his side he was successful in restoring all that the Amalekites had taken as if it never happened. Unreal from the beginning. A great lesson!
