God’s omnipotence — feeling it, even in war: this week’s podcast, Reading Room gatherings, and more

Posted on by

It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established.  

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy p. 267)

SENTINEL WATCH PODCAST

Prayers from a war zone

This week a Ukrainian shares how hiding in a bomb shelter started a journey of learning more about God and Christian Science.

Also a military veteran shares how he prayed when feeling terrified and uncertain during a Vietnam War deployment and how he was protected.

Join us via Zoom to hear this week’s Sentinel Watch program

                 (NOTE: The current and past Sentinel Watch programs are always available online.)

 

Let us consider the following ideas from Science and Health in relation to this podcast

When the divine precepts are understood, they unfold the foundation of fellowship, in which one mind is not at war with another, but all have one Spirit, God, one intelligent source, in accordance with the Scriptural command: “Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” (SH 276)

One infinite God, good, unifies men and nations; constitutes the brotherhood of man; ends wars; fulfils the Scripture, “Love thy neighbor as thyself;” … (SH 340)

This week’s print edition of the Christian Science Sentinel includes articles about God’s omnipotence

                                                 (All articles are offered in audio format as well as print.)
