Gratitude
There is a temptation which attempts to mesmerize earnest thinkers, inviting them to believe that they have nothing for which to be grateful. And should this erring sense present itself, we must give pause and count our blessings. To any student who is at all doubtful of the necessity for gratitude, the good news of the Christ-teaching may come, and awaken him from looking into matter for his well-being. Materiality always disappoints; it cannot do otherwise, for it holds as its substance only the texture of fancy.

Gratitude and healing
Grateful thinking opens our consciousness to the fact that God, good, is ever present, and it enables us to see His perfect creation a little more clearly. This, in turn, cannot fail to manifest itself in our lives, because the spiritual is causative.

Spiritual loving and giving
It is a spiritual fact that the more we love, the more we give; and the more we give, the more we receive. There is no stagnation in Mind, and there can only seem to be lack in the false, material sense of existence, which spiritual understanding will nullify.

Seeing division, or oneness of Mind?
Christian Science doesn't teach us to pray with the aim of bringing contrary minds together, of patching up a supposed splintered reality. Instead it requires us to turn away from the notion of many minds. This Science encourages us humbly to accept the truth that there is one Mind, which controls, orders, and guides all in harmony. Wonderful progress and healing come from yielding to this intelligent control, to the law of divine Love, and to the fact that each individual truly is created in the likeness of divine Mind.

Pop the bubbles of division
God's message for us all is one of unity and love. Even in a hyperpartisan, power-hungry environment, each of us can commit to seeing others as God knows them, even when — especially when — we don't agree on policy.

See beyond division to the kingdom of heaven
Selfishness and willfulness, which vehemently oppose man's real nature as the reflection of God's nature, are at the heart of division.

What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is more than theory — it's a practice that can deepen your relationship with God and change life for the better. In Christian Science, God is understood to be infinite Love, and so invariably good that a clear glimpse of this through prayer has power to heal, redeem, and restore anyone.

Can Christianity be scientific?
Science is all about understanding and demonstration. Christianity is of the heart. Can these two views be in harmony with each other? We invite you to read a few articles that show how naturally Christianity and Science go together and the blessings that this connection can bring.
How to pray for healing.
Is Christian Science the same as Scientology? The similarities in name can cause some confusion, but the two are, in fact, entirely different religions with very little in common and are not connected in any way. Learn more
Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was a lifelong student of the Bible. It became clear to her that spiritual healing was based on divine laws of God, Spirit, and that these laws could be applied by anyone to heal human suffering and sin. Her primary work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, contains the full explanation of Christian Science and its biblical foundation of spiritual healing. Mary Baker Eddy went on to establish the Church of Christ, Scientist, as a Christian denomination and worldwide movement of spiritual healers.
