All A Christian Science Perspective

Looking to God as the ultimate source of truth empowers us to let divine wisdom, not fear, guide us.

No situation we may find ourselves in is beyond the saving, fear-lifting reach of divine Love.

Getting to know God as Soul – with a capital S – enriches our thoughts and lives in concrete ways.

Sometimes it can seem that health is like a setting sun, diminishing as time goes by. Recognizing our immortal nature as God’s children opens the door to greater freedom and healing, regardless of where we are in life.

Going higher in our love and respect for each other and in our understanding of God, lifts us to see boundless possibilities for healing progress in the face of a contagion.

Seeing one another the way God does lifts self-righteousness and opens the door to harmony and progress, as a man experienced when faced with challenging dynamics among his team at work.
- It’s never too late to conquer fear
The realization that God is ever present brings strength, confidence, and inspiration that empower us to overcome self-doubt.
- From soul to Soul
The traditional concept of “soul” is that it is contained within the body. Our thoughts and lives are immeasurably blessed by a deeper understanding of Soul as infinite, never within matter.
