The Word of God

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!

    “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh in you that believe.”
    (I Thess. 2:13)

    Matthew Henry’s comment on this verse “We should receive the word of God as the word of God, with affections suitable to the holiness, wisdom, verity and goodness, thereof. The words of men are frail and perishing, like themselves, and sometimes false, foolish, and fickle: but God’s word is holy, wise, just, and faithful; and like its author, lives and abides forever. Let us accordingly receive and regard it.”

    “We should…. turn our gaze to the spiritual record of creation, to that which should be engraved (impressed deeply) on the understanding and heart “with the point of a diamond” and the pen of an angel” (S&H 521)

    This reminds me that we must have absolute conviction that God’s word is the truth and that no suppositional power can stand before it.
