Envy – Christian Science Sentinel

Peter D — Mon, 14 May 2012 10:12:01 +0000

Hi All

I enjoyed reading The Sentinel Magazine May 14th issue which has ENVY as a topic and it is available in our Reading Room if you would like a copy. The article by Robin Hoagland had some real gems such as, ‘What envy misses, prayer beholds’. Behold – ‘Look here! Here it is! You can’t miss this!’ I really like the idea that prayer brings us to a place of recognition so that we do not lose sight of our own blessings.

I especially liked these sentences and put them into our window display and slideshow:

‘We’ve been given all. No one can have more goodness, more health, more friendship, more opportunity, or more success than anyone else. All of it belongs to man, to you and me, fully and equally.’

Happy Days, Blue Sky – 2Peter

Hello All

This Saturday 12th May from 10.30am to about 12 Noon there will be a Skype link up with Maidstone Church to participate in their Bible Study group activity. They are studying Psalms. So bring along your thoughts on your favourite Psalm, to share if you wish or you can just listen in. Psalm 23 and Psalm 91 are off limits.

Looking forward to meeting you and seeing you there.

Love to you all. 2Peter

Pain free living

Christ is the light of spiritual love. Pain and fear cannot invade this love.

Prince of Peace

Carol — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:01:49 +0000

One might say that Jesus was the “prince” and the Christ is the “peace”. The two are inseparable, but the prince – Jesus as a human – no longer walks the globe. But the peace of Christ that he taught and lived is present forever.

World changing event

Carol — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 10:11:52 +0000

The world was not the same after the birth of Jesus. A major change started to take place in human thought, and is still going on.
Jesus’ teachings revolutionised the concepts of love, of repentance, and of forgiveness.

Winter Blues?

Carol — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 12:32:41 +0000

I wonder if you are feeling low because of winter weather, short daylight hours, or all the suggestions of illness around at this time of year?
If so, then you may find a real tonic in the article entitled “Winter weather Blues – or Seasons of Good” by Linda Distel in the Christian Science Sentinel for week beginning December 5 th.
I love the way she tells us about the warmth of divine Love and the comfort that brings.

Ever-present

Carol — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:43:09 +0000

God is never absent. He is always present and close, knows us and cares for us in the best and wisest of ways. Anything unlovable or unforgivable is not given to us by God and can be removed and healed by Him. God is Love, who sends us all the love we can possibly need.

CS Sentinel 7/11/11 p12/13

What we love

Carol — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:16:43 +0000

“What we love determines what we are.”
Mary Baker Eddy

God, Love, is always present. Evil has no place in societies where people are united in a bond of infinite Love.

CS Sentinel 21/11/11 p19

All-inclusive God

Carol — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 09:46:50 +0000

God includes all of His children- whatever their religion, politics, ethnicity, language or culture – in a universal embrace.
Global unity is found on the basis of one God, not on war and conquest, and the outcome is peace.
So we find the inescapable brotherhood of man, rooted and grounded in the all-inclusivity of God.

CS Sentinel 31/10/11 p6&7

Stilling Strife

Carol — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 12:06:31 +0000

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me” obeyed, is sufficient to still strife. God is the divine Mind. Hence the sequence:- Had all people’s one Mind, peace would reign.
Mary Baker Eddy Miscellany p 279

“I exhort therefore that …prayers ….be made for all men … That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
The Bible I Tim
