A Christian Science Perspective

When Mary Baker Eddy founded The Christian Science Monitor in 1908, she gave the directive to publish one article on Christian Science every day. Each article delivers a response to a topical issue in the news from a Christian Science perspective. These articles inspire readers to look through a spiritual lens when responding to the news and focus their supportive prayers toward an issue facing the global community. 

If prayer was to produce constructive results, I needed to bridge the breach between the individual and me with God-inspired concepts that heal.

Brotherhood, sisterhood, and war-free living represent the natural status of God’s creation.

The insight and intuition that God, divine Mind, provides will point the way toward healing for individuals and among nations.

The difference was that Mrs. Eddy, responding with rigorous logic to her own experiences, did not throw out spiritual sense and the idea of divine Principle because of the failures of human religious institutions.

The beauty of renewables, such as wind, is that they help us realize an immense supply of useful energy that is already available.

Learning to be still brings unfoldment of ideas, inspiration, and a reassurance of God’s presence and comfort.

It occurred to me that from a spiritual standpoint there could be only one state of the union, and – Hallelujah! – it is a good one.

This insistence on purity, love, and joy – along with other childlike qualities – restores our, and everyone’s, original selfhood as God’s child.

Do we have to accept that while one day things are looking up, tomorrow could plunge into a downward spiral, taking promise and hope with it?

Being childlike and receptive will move us not toward the elementary or immature idea but to the advanced idea.
