Proper Way To seek The Truth

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 last paragraph in Rev. Kratzer’s article “Hindrances to Healing” from the book Dominion Within, he reminds us about the true motive in seeking truth, “So if we seek the truth, not because we are looking for what it will bestow, but because we really love it for its own sake and are anxious to spend time and money in acquiring it and serving it, then its riches speedily become our possession. The proper way to seek the truth may be expressed in the following paraphrase: I take thee for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; in prosperity and adversity; to love and to cherish, to have and to hold forever; and upon thee I bestow all my worldly goods. Truth, thus sought, will not long withhold her blessings.”

    Whenever I feel a need to remind myself that I am not seeking the truth for the purpose of healing some physical problem but for truth’s sake, I find this paragraph helpful.

    What wonderful instruction we gain from our beautiful and inspired weekly Sunday lessons. Thank you so much lesson writers for your prayerful dedication to this important job. Mrs. Eddy refers to the Sunday lesson sermons in the Church Manual “a lesson on which the prosperity of Christian Science largely depends.”
