Cling steadfastly to God.

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!

    “When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought.” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 495

    “Cling: To adhere closely and firmly, in interest or affection.
    Steadfastly: Firmly; with constancy or steadiness of mind.
    Good – Honest, uncorrupted, valuable, useful, moral, right, benevolent, kind, highest worth, perfect, beneficial, virtue, firm, not weak, complete, opposed to wicked, wholesome, faithful, fidelity, wise, calm, abundance, satisfied, mercy, charity-universal goodwill. Peace – contentment, calm, gratitude, trust God, Joy – is a delight of the mind, from the expectation of the present or assured approaching possession of a good; to animate with lively gladness” Websters 1828 Dictionary

    Our God is good so it is good we have to cling to. I wanted to think more carefully about this line since it is one often memorized so that I keep it more than words in my heart. I added the seven synonyms. I am sure there is so much more to add.
