The kingdom of God is within you.

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!

    “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17 : 20, 21

    “…remember Jesus’ words, ‘The kingdom of God is within you.’ This spiritual consciousness is therefore a present possibility. This kingdom of God ‘is within you,’ — is within reach of man’s consciousness here, and the spiritual idea reveals it. In divine Science, man possesses this recognition of harmony consciously in proportion to his understanding of God.” from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 576

    Every morning we are told to repeat before we get out of bed, “God is Life. God is my Life. God is the only pure and perfect Life. We are also to go over Mind and to add whatever else we need to affirm. Today in thinking about the Lesson I thought I would use this same idea but with the “kingdom of heaven” so I replaced heaven with words such as joy, peace, good, strength, health, purity, understanding, abundance, satisfaction, supply, stability. This week’s Lesson gives us instruction regarding our part in this covenant, “Therefore “acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace.” Be watchful, sober, and vigilant. The way is straight and narrow, which leads to the understanding that God is the only Life.” Science and Health page 324
