Displace material sense

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!

    “We must silence this lie of material sense with the truth of spiritual sense.” S&H page 318

    I learned in this church that if you have a glass of water and put a stone in it, the stone displaces the water. This is the same thing that happens when you put a statement of Truth in your thought. It displaces the material, erring thought. When you insert the Truth, error is replaced. A thought filled with Truth leaves no room for erring mortal thoughts but annihilates every thought of sin, sickness or death. This simple lesson has helped me when I felt sick or in a hopeless situation.

    I am very grateful for every lesson I have learned in this church and grateful for the teaching.

    Thanks Sharon, this has always been one of the simple truths that are so vividly practical! It has helped me a lot. I must be eager to give up the material senses in order to gain the only real sense, spiritual sense, that allows correct and true vision to help me see the true things of God.

    This is beautiful, what Mrs. Eddy says in Misc. p 179, “We must lay aside material consciousness, and then we can perceive Truth, and say with Mary, Rabboni”- Master!
