Clearing away the fog
Deborah Huebsch | from The Christian Science Journal

True love
Lynde McCormick | from The Christian Science Journal
His marriage all but over, this husband discovers that the problem was that he and his wife were expecting what they needed—romance, communication, support—to come from the other. But everything comes from God. And when we seek all we need from our relationship with God, it’s supplied in abundance. read
Out of the box: a conversation with David Stevens
Marilyn Jones | from The Christian Science Journal
When we get God out of the box—that is, when we stop viewing God as, in the words of Christian Science practitioner and teacher David Stevens, “the busy switchboard operator, the grumpy old guy on the third cloud from the left”—and instead see God as Mind, Truth, and Love, we discover that an understanding of God has very practical effects. read

Scott Preller | from The Christian Science Journal
If evil gets the last word on determining reality, then it would hardly be surprising to find people abandoning the idea of God altogether. But our spiritual sense—an unshakeable conviction of God’s goodness and all-power—gives us a basis for exposing evil as invalid and vulnerable, which lets us see and feel the actuality of God everywhere. read
The power of Love among nations
Scott Davis | from The Christian Science Journal
