ATTENTION: ST LOUIS-ILLINOIS CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS:

If you live in the St Louis area, my sister Kristy Christian will be giving a two-day Bible workshop sponsored by Peace Haven Association and Biblos Foundation. It will be March 1-2, 2019 at Peace Haven on 12630 Rott Road. The cost is $195.00.

"God Giveth Us the Victory"  (I Cor: 15:57)

“. . . thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 15:57), Paul writes to the church in Corinth. He also comments that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal” (II Cor. 10:4). Are we not prompted to ponder the nature of a war that does not require material weapons, nor does it demand that we wrestle against flesh and blood (see Eph. 6:12)? Join us March 1 and 2, 2019, for a deeper study of this “divine method of warfare” (Science and Health 568:6), as outlined in the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings.

Our discussion will cover several narratives in both the Old and New Testaments which develop our theme and reveal how, with God, we can expect complete victory over any challenge that might confront us.

A few of the questions that we will explore:

  • What is our spiritual means of defense?

  • What is the significance of the “whole armour of God,” described in Ephesians?

  • Over what do we become victorious?

Ideas for studying the lesson on "Sacrament" for January 13, 2019

Dear Friends,

The main theme of this week’s lesson is “Prayer.” The Lesson teaches us what prayer is, how to pray, what prayer does for us, and several biblical examples of ‘prayer’. It’s a very powerful lesson!! You might want to reread the chapter on “Prayer” in “Science & Health” to deepen your understanding of this subject.

Here is a beautiful daily prayer from the CS Sentinel.

Ideas for studying the lesson on "Ancient and Modern. . ." for Dec. 2, 2018

Dear friends,

Related words of the root word HID AND HIDE are throughout the lesson. (24x) Hid means to be kept secret, concealed, that it might not be known, covered; to hide oneself carefully; “ hidden from the world and known to God”. SECRET also is a word that is throughout this lesson. It can mean covering, shelter, hiding place, the secret place of the most high, protection. And the word PRESERVE OR PRESERVED is also a theme.

Sometimes it is very helpful to me to write down the main ideas of each section. Here is my sheet of ideas, but please know that yours could be very different.

Ideas to study on "Soul and Body," for Nov. 25, 2018

Dear Friends,

Two themes that are running through this week’s lesson are the idea of “temple”, used about 17 times. In section six, Mrs Eddy says, “The word temple also means body.” (576:14) And the words ‘reflect’ and ‘reflection’ are used 14 times. Soul is not IN body, but is reflected by man.
