Don’t be deceived & How can evil exist? — Hear the Sentinel Watch weekly podcast on Tuesday at 2:00 pm (Eastern)

Flower

Dear Friends,

Grab some ‘milk and cookies’ and join us to listen to this week’s podcasts about deception and the origin (or rather non-origin) of evil. Yes, there are two podcasts featured this week!

“Pick a card, any card.” That’s how many card tricks start out. What makes a card trick successful also provides a useful lesson in how to focus on God and experience more effective spiritual healing. Join us to learn more.

We will listen to this first program and take time briefly to look at how the weekly Bible Lesson addresses the unreal and deceptive nature of error. Also, we will look at the poem “With spiritual sense” from the recent weekly Sentinel collection of articles.

Please bring your thoughts to share on this subject or a favorite passage identifying evil’s deceptive nature.

Sin existed as a false claim before the human concept of sin was formed; hence one’s concept of error is not the whole of error.
– Retrospection and Introspection, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 67:1–3

For those who would like to stay to hear the second program (of about 20 minutes), it will be offered after the first podcast above.

How can evil exist?
If God really is all good and omnipresent, then where did evil come from and how can it even exist? This podcast segment is shared from the Sentinel archives. The guest speaks in a way that is fresh today, and the message is timeless.

Please join us to learn about women in the Bible and spiritual healing today, as explained in Mary Baker Eddy’s work Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

Please MUTE yourself during the program. (Press *6 if you are listening by phone, please. This will also UNMUTE you as well.)

If you have questions about this event, please contact the Reading Room by email at jmrr.dc@gmail.com or call our new number 240-935-8697. We look forward to having you and your friends join us.

Also, please know you can listen online to this or any previous podcasts at your convenience.

Warmly, Christian Science Reading Room, metropolitan D.C.
