Felt ye the power of the Word?!

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!

    “The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews)
    The Amplified Version of this verse is the following:
    “The Word that God speaks is alive and full of power (making it active, operative, energizing, and effective); it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and (the immortal) spirit, and of joints and marrow (of the deepest parts of our nature), exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.”
    I love to think of this and of the power of God’s Word. It is easy to just say the words, quote different things, but then more importantly, to ask myself – is this Word alive with the very presence and power of God? Remember from Mrs. Eddy’s hymn (#298) “Saw ye my Saviour? Heard ye the glad sound? Felt ye the power of the Word?”! Have you seen Him?! Have ye heard it?! Have you felt the power of the Word?!
