Worldliness

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!

    “Christianity causes men to turn naturally from matter to Spirit, as the flower turns from darkness to light. Man then appropriates those things which “eye hath not seen nor ear heard.” Paul and John had a clear apprehension that, as mortal man achieves no worldly honors except by sacrifice, so he must gain heavenly riches by forsaking all worldliness. Then he will have nothing in common with the worldling’s affections, motives, and aims.”
    Worldly definition ( not found in the 1828 Webster Dictionary) :of or concerned with material values or ordinary life rather than spiritual existence. temporal, mortal, human
    I have been thinking about this while studying the Lesson this week on SUBSTANCE and how a young person might view these concepts. This wonderful Lesson explains what real substance is as a gift from God and when we seek Him the so called worldly things of material existence fall away from our experience. We are spiritual.
