Who’s in control?
Warren Bolon | from The Christian Science Journal

Nipping disease in the bud
Bea Roegge | from The Christian Science Journal
Disease is actually a lie about the state of health that is normal to the real individuality of everyone. When we realize this, the disease often disappears instantaneously. That’s how we can nip disease in the bud. read

Is God ‘big’ enough?
John Tyler | from The Christian Science Journal
Looking at the world’s problems today, we might feel like David facing Goliath. Like David, we need to dehypnotize ourselves by breaking the fascination with the “hugeness” of the challenge—by becoming conscious of the presence of God’s love for His entire creation.

A reliable witness
Melanie Wahlberg | from the Christian Science Sentinel
