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!

Thanks for your post!

I like to think that the “future” mentioned is not a distant time, but an ever-present spiritual sense that in here now and can be realized instantly when the mist, layers of false belief is lifted off.

Science and Health 14 : 9-15
To be “with the Lord” is to be in obedience to the law of God, to be absolutely governed by divine Love, — by Spirit, not by matter……..
Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual, — neither in nor of matter, — and the body will then utter no complaints.
If we are daily maintaining the Truth of our being in consciousness, in humble obedience to what Christian Science teaches, we can realize this earnest of spirit, which is already ours more readily. Thank God it is part of our true heritage.
