If we join with the human race with the spiritual surety that says, “I, too, have something useful to give, and I am here to give it,” we’ll play a valuable role in minimising the world’s shortcomings, maximising it’s achievements, and helping it find it’s way.

I have now read this article in the Sentinel at least twice and I would recommend it to everyone. It is in the Sentinel September 19th 2011 and it is ‘Christianly Scientific Prayer’ by Allison Phinney. I especially loved this statement – ‘The purpose of prayer can’t logically be pleading for God to change something for the better, something that He overlooked or mismanaged in the busyness of creating. But prayer can make us aware that the ‘something better’ already exists.’
Also earlier in the same article – ‘For Jesus, prayer was a constant communion with God that brought into view this startingly different reality. It had the effect of of consistently displacing commonplace impressions of life
Love to you all
2Peter
Jesus’ ability to forgive was based on love.
Forgiveness is the love of God in action.
Forgiveness is knowing you are seeing the man of God’s creating. You are following the master Christian and can honestly and naturally forgive.
CS Sentinel 26/9/11 p9
Prayer works by displacing the thoughts and attitudes and fears that would make us think we are separated from good.

This weeks Bible Lesson
Subject – Reality
Golden Text from Psalm 48:1
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
Just…a few ideas and questions to invite further enquiry and interest.
The ‘City of God’, what is it like? Can we describe this celestial city. What will we find inside it?
Why wait until School on Sunday to come up with answers.
Please share your answers.. like now,..today. Tell the world.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
God’s love is infinite, and to the degree that we understand this, we discover that there is enough for all.
CS Sentinel 14/2/11 p13
Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.

Christian Science textbook.
I’ve just read a lovely insight on page 59 of this Journal called The Source of Light. Find out about a “flashdark” and a flashlight!
The updraft of inspiration is lifting you on wings of Love. God is truly governing thought and action, regardless of physical appearances. The peace, health and harmony you seek is only one thought away. So we can make it our next thought right now, and feel the breath of God whispering away fear and depression.

This week’s Bible lesson is on “substance”. The Golden Text is taken from both Hebrews and John
What’s the logical conclusion when you put these two verses together?
The responsive reading includes Paul’s musings on faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hope to see you Sunday!
The Golden Text this week is
and the responsive reading this week starts “thou art mine” Isa 43:1 . How cool is that? We are God’s beloved! The lesson this week’s explores what that means. It’s about better understanding our true identity and relationship with God as His/Her beloved children.
Here are some questions on the lesson to prime our discussion as usual – I do hope you can make it, if not perhaps we can have our class by skype later in the day.
(Section 1) Isaiah instructs us “cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isa 2:22 How do we do that?
(Section 2) How should we see ourselves?
(Section 3) “The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him..” Duet 33:12 How does Moses early life illustrate this?
(Section 4) What do the angels Gabriel and Michael represent?
(Section 5) What does it mean to be the sons (and daughters) of God? How do you understand Christ Jesus as “mediator”?
(Section 6) How does Jesus healing confirm his mission, and God’s love for us?
(Section 7) How are you exercising your “God given authority” and dominion?
(Section 8 ) What qualities of God should we express as God’s elect? ( Col 3:12,14,16 )
(Section 9) Christ Jesus said “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matt 10:8 What a command! He wouldn’t have said it, if he didn’t think we could follow it. How are you following this Christian command?
Hope to see you Sunday! (Everyone under 20 is always welcome in our Sunday School).
