Reply To: How Dumb can you be?

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 such a good point. I think we can make idols out of a million different things–anything, really–that take us away from God, often by very subtle means so we don’t even realize it! It can be a job, a boss, it can be a food, a hobby, an “expert” in any field, a problem the world is ruminating on, a sports team, a musician, a place, a store, even a pet…or any combination of things. Staying focused on God is the only way to see clearly and not be dumb (I’ve already paid enough of the “dumb tax”, thank you!) Dwelling in the One Mind, our Christ consciousness, will keep us focused on what is right and true, giving all the glory to God! Then, “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.” Ps. 146:5
