Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

God’s good will for you

Did you know that God wants you to be safe, protected, healthy, and well?  The Bible records Christ Jesus as saying he was doing the “will of the Father which hath sent me” ( John 5:30 ), and he healed countless individuals, even raising some from the dead. In one instance, when a leprous man sought healing from him, the Bible relates that “Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean.

More than “good enough”

As a small child , loving Christian Science, I thought of myself as a Christian Scientist. Both of my parents had grown up going to Christian Science Sunday School and relied on Christian Science for all our needs.

There’s a lot going on in the world right now, and sometimes it can feel daunting to know where to even begin my prayers. How can I pray for my family, my community, and the world when I feel like the challenges I need to deal with in my own life are enough?
