Learning and Applying Truth

The continual teachings at Plainfield Christian Science Church, Independent, through the Roundtable and Bible Study, are priceless. I have found that the weekly learning, and applying what I am learning step by step, has made a profound difference in my life and walk with God. It has been helping me drop my misconceptions of God, Mrs. Eddy, and Christian Science. In its place is offered a clear, practical, and healing understanding to be practiced each day. It helps me see the negative thinking I entertain, and a way out. There are so many lessons to be learned that I can hardly conceive of doing this any other way.

It begins with moments, and goes on with years; moments of surrender to God, of childlike trust and joyful adoption of good; moments of self-abnegation, self-consecration, heaven-born hope, and spiritual love. Time may commence, but it cannot complete, the new birth: eternity does this ....”
