Selected articles from the Christian Science Monitor

Saving the children

from The Christian Science Monitor

Our prayers recognizing the value of children, embracing those in need in our thoughts and affirming their spiritual value, help everyone, especially the children. They can also change our world—and theirs—for the better. read

The goal: no one left hungry

from The Christian Science Monitor

Rising food prices causing one of every ten Americans to skip meals—yet another facet of the inequity between haves and have-nots. But from a spiritual standpoint we can see that one of God’s children does not actually have more than another. God loves all of His children equally. Realizing this and acting on its basis can lead to greater equity today. read

Good government—what does it take?

from The Christian Science Monitor

Many yearn for political leaders who actually are leaders. But such yearning may perpetuate the myth that good government depends on a particular person. Yet isn’t that what Christ Jesus’ unparalleled example of good government disproved? He relied completely on God, and this enabled him to show the present operation of God’s loving government—one that still heals and saves today. read

The home you cannot lose

from The Christian Science Monitor

Our homes are precious, and it is sad to think of people losing them. But one comforting thought is that home and house are not necessarily synonymous. Each of us has a spiritual nature that is our real home, and it’s strengthened and clarified as we draw closer to God. We can’t be deprived of this home. read

Leave despair in the dust

from The Christian Science Monitor

Whether concerned about a real estate market, soaring gas prices, new signs of global warming, confrontational election campaigns, or rising unemployment, we can acknowledge God as our source of strength, be grateful for His continuing care, and proclaim that even if “troubled on every side,” we’re “not distressed.” read

In search of the perfect model

from The Christian Science Monitor

The desire to be more slender is nothing new, but today some people are taking it to drastic levels. The solution lies in molding our thoughts after God’s model of perfection. The satisfaction that results not only brings a permanent, unfluctuating sense of peace but also the discipline, joy, and strength that enable anyone to adopt sensible eating habits. read

God’s authority over earth forces

from The Christian Science Monitor

While it can seem overwhelming to pray about immense earth forces such as those involved in earthquakes, it’s beneficial to realize that there is something even bigger and more powerful—the omnipresent omnipotence of God, good. We can turn to this higher power and see more of the protection and care it provides. read

The gift of ‘living water’

from The Christian Science Monitor

Patience may be needed as mankind finds answers to water shortages, but prayers that acknowledge that we live within God’s goodness, which can never be depleted, destroyed, or dried up, will help bring God’s presence to light and reveal what intelligent action is required. read

Earth Day’s promise

from The Christian Science Monitor

The huge outpouring of interest in the environment illustrates the many ways individuals and nations are connected through a mutual interest in improving life for everyone. Our view of our neighbor has expanded beyond the folks right next door—and we can love them all as God’s image, safe from any kind of evil. read

The marathon’s larger lessons

from The Christian Science Monitor

Whatever our path and purpose are, we’re bound to come upon tough climbs—fear of failure, pressure, stress, intimidation, procrastination, apathy, or distraction. But we can challenge limitations and discover with exhilaration the God-sent love, calm, confidence, activity, joy, and discipline that mark the upward way. read
