If we give the same heed

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!

    On Sunday evening I heard a speaker say, “Don’t allow the “news” to block out Heaven’s news. God has news for you and He is going to be speaking to you of what He is doing.” This spoke to me of what we are being taught here at Plainfield. Here is a sample of a few notes just from the May 31st Roundtable. We are also given the tools to live this Science in practical ways each moment.

    – Stay focused on the right side with God. 
    – Don’t allow yourself to be mesmerized by the media.
    – Watch what you let into your thinking.
    – Watch to keep your thoughts pure to see God’s allness.
    – Only God knows what is what so bow before Him.
    – What are you holding fast to?
    – What thoughts are you listening to?
    – Guard thoughts and catch early the suggestions that would lead you away from God.

    From our Bible Lesson this week:
    “In the Science of Genesis we read that He saw everything which He had made, “and, behold, it was very good.” The corporeal senses declare otherwise; and if we give the same heed to the history of error as to the records of truth, the Scriptural record of sin and death favors the false conclusion of the material senses. Sin, sickness, and death must be deemed as devoid of reality as they are of good, God.” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 525 : 22-29

    Thank you for this post. In order to keep our thoughts straight and focused on God instead of the what the world seems to be “reporting”, continued watching is necessary. I find the following to be very helpful:

    Watching
    by Parthens
    In Collectanea, Mary Baker Eddy gives the following two instructions in regard to Watching:

    “WATCH — . . . sit down and first get yourself into a consciousness of your power with God, and then take up the Outside Watch. Sit until this is clear, — if two hours.”

    “WATCH — . . . take up the Watch every two hours as long as you live or until you can make the right side real to your consciousness.”
    Inside watch first …. then the outside watch!
