Hi everyone!
I wanted to inform you of an upcoming talk at the A/U Ranches by my sister, Kristy Christian, on November 2-November 4, 2018.
It’s entitled “God Giveth U the Victory” (I Cor. 15:57)
“. . .thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 15:57), Paul writes to the church in Corinth. He also comments that “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal” (II Cor. 10:4). Are we not prompted to ponder the nature of a war that does not require material weapons, nor does it demand that we wrestle against flesh and blood (see Eph. 6:12)?
Join us November 2018, for a deeper study of this “divine method of warfare” (S&H568:6), as outlined in the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings. Our discussion will cover several narratives in both the Old and New Testaments which develop our theme and reveal how, with God, we can expect complete victory over any challenge that might confront us.
A few of the questions that we will explore:
· What is our spiritual means of defense?
· What is the significance of the “whole armour of God,” described in Ephesians?

With love,
Kathy

I am including this paper called “The Psychologist and the Magician in my blog this week because it so clearly illustrates the concept of “Illusion”. It is long - nineteen pages, so all may not want to read it. But it’s a paper that has gone around the movement through the years, even though it is not Christian Science. I pull it out and ponder it every so often, and gain a lot by doing so. Please forgive my highlighting and underlinings.
