Jan. 17-23: “Truth”

Jan. 17-23: “Truth.”

Golden Text: “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; . . .Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,  And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.”  (Psalms 51: 1, 6)

This Bible Lesson emphasizes the importance that trust in God, Truth, plays in our spiritual growth and healing work.

“In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.  Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.” (Psalm 31: 1, 5)

“If God, the All-in-all, be the creator of the spiritual universe, including man, then everything entitled to a classification as truth, or Science, must be comprised in a knowledge or understanding of God, for there can be nothing beyond illimitable divinity.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 127:4)

Golden Text: “Love the Lord your God. Obey him. Stay close to him. He is your life.” (Deuteronomy 30:20)

This powerful Bible Lesson makes a strong connection between our human yearning to live full and satisfying lives, and the rich, healing blessings of loving and obeying Divine Truth, Life.

“I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply:  . . . for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:” (Deuteronomy 24: 16,20)

“Mortals suppose that they can live without goodness, when God is good and the only real Life.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 328:4-5)

The tares stand out and above the wheat While walking through farm fields in France last May, I found a perfect scene to illustrate Jesus Christ’s parable of the tares and the wheat. If you aren’t familiar with Jesus’ story, here it is: Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven …

Welcome to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bellingham, WA

Have you ever wondered if there really is a God, one who is willing or able to play a role in your life?

You can find the answers you yearn for, and the loving, caring God that Christ Jesus called "Father."  Christian Science shows that feeling the peace of God's loving, all-powerful presence is possible now. It shows us that the understanding of God that heals all our challenges is not a secret recipe available only in Biblical times, but a demonstrable science that all can practice and use in daily life.

Our church is one of the many worldwide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, established in Boston, Massachusetts in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy.
