The substance of devotion

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 substance of all devotion is the reflection and demonstration of divine Love, healing sickness and destroying sin. Our Master said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” (S&H) If you don’t come prepared to testify at our Wednesday meetings you need to ask yourself why? If you don’t do an individual watch or join us for the unity watches you need to ask yourself why? If you haven’t written on the forum yet this week you need to ask yourself why? It is not right that a faithful few carry this work week after week. Expression is the antidote for depression! “Will you doff your lavender-kid zeal, and become real and consecrated warriors? Will you give yourself irrevocably to the great work of establishing the truth, the gospel, and the Science which are necessary to the salvation of the world from error, sin, disease, and death? Answer at once and practically, and answer aright!” (MARY BAKER EDDY MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS PAGE 177)

    And – whatever your excuses are for not being more active in the Truth they ARE NO GOOD EXCUSES! Mrs. Eddy ran her household with the motto “EXCUSES ARE INTOLERABLE.”!

    Thank you for this post. And I thank each one for last evening’s sharing of readings and testimonies, for each one is a tremendous blessing! Every time I’ve come prepared with a testimony, even if there’s not time to share it, I have a good feeling; but if not prepared and don’t give a testimony, I feel terrible! And yes, there are no excuses — the thought of trying to make an excuse to God is a real wake up call for me!
