Our Motivations
From the Bible
Isaiah 61: 1: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound.”
Matt. 25: 31, 34-36 : “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
From the Founder of Christian Science,
Mary Baker Eddy
Christians claim to be his followers, but do they follow him in the way that he commanded? Hear these imperative commands: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect!” “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature!” “Heal the sick!” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 37:25)
The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother’s need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another’s good.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 518:15–19).
I am glad you have begun the Christian Science mission with faith that you can open the prison doors and set the captive free. God will bless us in this way of his appointing…….”( Tomlinson, Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy, p. 186. Amplified Edition, p 243).
Featured Video
In this video, a reading room librarian Nicole shares the stories of how Christian Science supported two returning citizens. Nicole reminded them of the Truth of their true God based identity, how God knows them and sees them, which supported them in integrating back into society harmoniously. They then lovingly referred to Nicole as the “lady of light” when communicating about their successes to their parole officer. God’s ability to change hearts, which results in healing, is always available. To share this video, click on the “Share by Email” link below.
