Of Good Report

Present-day examples of “whatsoever things are of good report” (Philippians 4:8)

Our brother returned home safe and sound

It is with deep gratitude to God and for learning to pray the way it is taught in Christian Science that I offer this testimony. A number of years ago, our brother left home to go and learn a trade from our uncle in a foreign country.

Always safe in God’s neighborhood

One early spring evening when my children were young, my eight-year-old son Philip was at his little league baseball game, and my five-year-old son Timmy was playing with a friend on our front porch while I finished washing the dinner dishes. We would soon go to the game as spectators and applauders.

The resource I most needed: Inspiration from the 23rd Psalm

A year or so ago, during the Easter school holidays, I received visitors at our family residence. The plan was for them to stay for two weeks.

Finding peace and purpose in isolation

I live alone. When the world basically turned upside down, a lockdown was put into place, and I was not able to drive.

Divine Mind delivered the article

Several years ago , an article I had submitted to The Christian Science Publishing Society was ready to go to press. However, close to the deadline I received an email from one of the editors telling me that the article needed to be shortened.

Motorcycle lessons and getting past ruts in the road

My husband taught me how to ride a motorcycle many years ago. Before I even got on the bike, the first step was to make sure I had the right equipment.

Give, and it shall be given you

The Church Financial situation looked bleak. At our first church meeting in a new city, my husband and I learned that almost half of the members had left because they wanted to build a new church.

Trusting God before the outcome

Some time ago , I had a strong reminder of God’s government in my life. My husband and I were selling our house, and we started the purchase process on the new house with quite a long lead time.

A place for you

God has a place for every one of us—a right home, companionship, fulfilling work, a satisfying purpose—and nothing can keep us from these. The Bible says, “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it” ( Revelation 3:8 ).

How prayer helped me solve a problem at work

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof” ( Psalms 46:1–3 ).
