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!

I believe that this is an important part of what Paul meant when he wrote to the Romans: “Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Yes, it is work, but to transform myself by renewing my mind (bringing it back to its original state, a reflection of God, the only Mind) is the only way I can see what is real and true.

One important point is not to covet or compete. The good that others have is theirs, and there is infinite good to go around. If I am doing what God wants me to do, He gives me everything I need with which to do it, and that is sufficient. Spirit, God is All, and is the source of everything good and real, and when I keep that in thought, I can never lack anything good.
