We are created to do more not less!

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!

    “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,” II Thess. 2 : 3

    A message of inspiration I heard today resonated with me. In essence, God did not design us to be stagnant, we are given the ability to be “more”. If we are not moving forwards we are going backwards. This spoke to me of how a falling away happens. If I want more of anything in my life then it requires more from me. So falling away is doing less of God centered living. We are instructed to continually square our account with God and look for the progress every day. I can ask myself, “What “more” is being asked of me?” Maybe I need to be more honest, be more quiet, more listening to God, be more forgiving, more just, more merciful, more grateful, more humble, read more of the Word of God, get more practitioner help, more work for God, more kind, be more unselfed, etc.

    Doing nothing and expecting more is unrealistic and selfish. I can’t get more from nothing.

    So I ask myself, “What “more” does God require of me today?

    “We are all capable of more than we do.” from Science and Health, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 89
