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!

This is a lesson we all need to learn and it applies to everything we do. How often do I feel fear over something in my home, in my job, in my work for church? Shortly after I arrived at the Plainfield church, I began to realize that I had developed habits of behavior that were based primarily on fear. That was a major eye-opener for me and was the beginning of learning to trust God and obey Him much more than I had.

Jacob once gave us a good quote from Martha Harris Bogue: “Fear is faith in evil; courage is faith in God.” David had enough faith in God and love for God, which gave him the courage to continue the battle until good was victorious over evil. Wonderful lesson.
