Reply To: Faith in matter

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!

Having that “correct sense of it” is our watching, standing porter at the door of thought, as Mary Baker Eddy instructs us, constantly translating what we see into its spiritual signification (wonderful examples above).

It is easier to have faith in matter than we may think–as we may not even realize it!–since we are constantly bombarded with this or that material remedy or advice. One method will contradict the next one that comes along and so on. Having a spiritual sense about things is the only way that makes sense of this mess. Bring everything back to God as you say, and He guides our every move and decision, lifting us up out of the mire of human knowledge.
