The Church of Christ, Scientist, founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century, holds the Bible in utmost reverence as a foundational text. Central to the beliefs and practices of this Christian denomination is the understanding that the Bible, along with Eddy’s seminal work, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” provides profound spiritual insights and guidance for living a life in accordance with God’s will. In this blog, we will explore how the Bible serves as a cornerstone for the Church of Christ, Scientist, and how Mary Baker Eddy’s writings complement and shed light on its teachings.
Are We Governed by Love?
In a world swirling with division, conflict, and uncertainty, the concept of love stands as a beacon of hope and unity. But what does it truly mean to be governed by love?

Can Prayer Heal?
In the realm of spirituality and healing, the power of prayer has long been a subject of fascination and debate. Among the various religious perspectives, the Church of Christ, Scientist offers a unique viewpoint on the efficacy of prayer in healing. Rooted in the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, this faith tradition emphasizes the spiritual nature of existence and the potential for prayer to bring about healing in both mind and body. In this blog, we delve into the question: Can prayer heal?
Are We Obligated to Help?
On a planet marked by conflicts, global unrest, and pervasive hunger, the calls for assistance are painful to hear and louder than ever. As nations grapple with political strife, economic disparities, and environmental challenges, the imperative to extend a helping hand to one another becomes increasingly urgent. From the vantage point of the Church of Christ, Scientist, rooted in the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy and the wisdom of biblical principles, the obligation to aid our fellow beings emerges as a fundamental tenet of faith and humanity.
In the midst of turmoil and suffering, the words of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, resonate deeply.

Finding Strength in the Storm: How We Can Weather Severe Weather with Faith and Hope
We had a “big” winter here at Lake Tahoe. Roofs collapsed under the weight of months of snowfall. There were daily traffic accidents and road delays because of the relentless ice and snow. Severe weather events like this extreme winter, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and wildfires can be frightening and devastating. In the face of such natural disasters, it can be helpful to turn to Christian Science principles for comfort and guidance. These principles can help us understand that God’s love and protection are always with us, even in the midst of challenging circumstances.
Answering Violence with Love
Gun violence in America and the war in Ukraine are both current tragedies that affect countless individuals and families. It is important to approach these issues with love and compassion, and we can do that with guidance from the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy and The Bible.
Growing Community
In a post Covid world many of us have become more introverted and less social. It is understandable but it is difficult to support each other and come together in times of need when we live in a guarded emotional state. We can turn to the teachings of Christian Science for help and guidance in connecting and crowing as a community.
Fear of Getting Back to Normal
The last two years have been challenging for everyone. While many people can’t wait to
experience life in groups again, many others are having a difficult time finding a “new normal” or re-entering society.
You Deserve to be Safe
One emotional state we all feel but don’t often express is a degree of safety. If someone asks, “How are you?”, we don’t usually respond with “safe, or unsafe.” But, it’s crucial to our overall well being to feel a sense of safety. And, in these current times of pandemic, war, wildfires, etc., feeling safe can be a challenge.
