Reply To: The justice of your cause

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 this post. It is also a treatment against a sense of fatalism, the belief that “there’s nothing that can be done, so might as well just give in and do nothing.”

There are many people fighting for justice in the world for many worthwhile causes, and it can be tempting to succumb to a sense of fatalism. The Bible provides the perfect antidote as shown in Psalm 37. I often think, “Stand with Principle, and Principle stands with you.” One with God is always a majority!
