Stand Therefore……..

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!

    Ephesians 6: 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
    To stand conveys the thought of uprightness, which brings this from SH to thought: The most Christian state is one of rectitude and spiritual understanding, and this is best adapted for healing the sick.pg 403:21

    Here is the meaning of rectitude from Webster’s 1828: REC’TITUDE, noun [Latin rectus, right, straight.]

    In morality, rightness of principle or practice; uprightness of mind; exact conformity to truth, or to the rules prescribed for moral conduct, either by divine or human laws. rectitude of mind is the disposition to act in conformity to any known standard of right, truth or justice; rectitude of conduct is the actual conformity to such standard. Perfect rectitude belongs only to the Supreme Being. The more nearly the rectitude of men approaches to the standard of the divine law, the more exalted and dignified is their character. Want of rectitude is not only sinful, but debasing.

    This gives me more to ponder with that command to “Stand!”
