The highway of the upright

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 highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth the way preserveth his soul. Proverbs 16:17

    “I wondered why it says ‘the highway of the upright.’ Why a highway?” In thinking about this statement, the thought came to me that a highway is the fastest way to get somewhere. On a highway the speed is faster than a secondary road. It is a way open to everyone. I need to depart from evil quickly; don’t delay. Don’t weigh the pros and cons or justify why I am holding on to an error. The highway is the best course to take.

    As I depart from evil my soul is preserved. This will keep me from injury or destruction. It keeps me safe. If a problem arises it is because I have made a wrong turn and I can quickly get back on the highway of God.

    The Bible says, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction.” (Matt. 7:13). Let us keep ourselves on the narrow highway with God and preserve our soul.
