"How I study the Bible Lesson—and put it into practice"

From the January 1998 issue of The Christian Science Journal


This feature gives readers an opportunity to share with one another helpful approaches to their study of the Bible Lessons published in the Christian Science Quarterly, and how they put what they learn into practice in their lives. These Bible Lessons consist of references from the Bible and from Science and Health.

For a time I devoted part of my study of the Bible Lesson to establishing a healing approach just to the news that interested me in The Christian Science Monitor. Then I read in one of the Christian Science religious periodicals about a student of Christian Science who applied the truths of each Lesson to every story on the Monitor's front page. I decided to do that, too. That meant no longer skipping some of the news, but facing up to every situation reported.

Usually, there are four stories on the front page ... of every issue; and, as a rule, I apply at least one section of the Lesson to each. After reading a Monitor report, I boil it down to one word: government, economy, employment, education, welfare, immigration, public safety, politics, or whatever. Then I study the Lesson, applying the spiritual ideas it contains to the situation I am dealing with. Every section in some way takes us to God as the only Mind and cause. It becomes clearer that neither mortal mind, so-called, nor mortal man is a factor in God's spiritual government of things.
