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!

VAL’OR, noun [Latin valor valeo, to be strong, to be worth.] Strength of mind in regard to danger; that quality which enables a man to encounter danger with firmness; personal bravery; courage; intrepidity; prowess.

This quality is seen in only those humble or meek enough to reflect God! Since all power belongs to God only such can be the reflection of God’s qualities. When puffed up and reliant on self we forfeit this power. Christ Jesus, the greatest man that ever trod this earth, was a great example. Mary Baker Eddy demonstrated such valour. Moses, David and others demonstrated this, as well; none of these were full of themselves, boasting any power of their own; rather they thought themselves unable to do what God used them to do for His glory. Paul in humility took that new name and was able to go forth with power to spread the gospel the way he did!

God sees and knows who He can use, and it is certain they are those who can reflect Him, even though they may not be aware of the ability that their humility/meekness allows.
