My relationship to God alone

Question 3: Share a transforming experience like Saul to Paul which came about reading Skip’s article(s).


When working with other church members, I have sometimes gotten the notion that the words of Christian Science don’t mean the same thing to everyone. In his article “‘Just words’?…Don’t believe it!” (Sentinel, February 17, 1986), Skip writes, “[Mrs. Eddy] knew that no human language actually contains the infinity and holiness of divine Being, of God, Spirit.”

There are many other articles where Skip talks about God alone being the first priority in our lives. Therefore, each person’s relationship with God alone is very important, both inside and outside of church. Not to say that church isn’t important, but it has reinforced the thought that God is close to me and directing me in all aspects of life. As Mrs. Eddy says, “The Christian Scientist is alone with his own being and with the reality of things” (Message ’01, 20:8–9).
