Biblical solutions to government - really?

November 7 - 13

- with Madelon Maupin



Governmental drama is nothing new. It goes all the way back to biblical times. And the lessons learned then can teach us a lot about what can uplift and even redeem government - and those who work for it - today.

If the current podcast is not posted by CSPS Internet Radio on Monday morning, go to Sentinel Watch Archive.

​In support of good government

Is there hope for functional, just, and good government to survive in nations where it has already taken root, and to spread to other countries? We’d like to highlight two recent articles, a collection, and an upcoming podcast that answer, “Yes - with the help of your prayers.” Supporting the continuity and emergence of righteous government by grounding our efforts on a spiritual foundation can nurture politics and leadership that increasingly reflect the ideal of wholeheartedly loving God and all our neighbors.

Read this week’s online-first feature on democracy, “Love: the basis for a renewed democracy.”

Read the Christian Science Sentinel editorial, “Making sure your vote counts.”

Heavenly Hymns

Hymns have a unique ability to bring healing and comfort in times of difficulty. These selections, featuring inspired performances of hymns from both the 1932 and the 2017 Hymnals, emphasize the unbroken connection between each one of us and a loving God that constantly and carefully provides for our health and safety.

MORTALS AND IMMORTALS

Nov 7 - 13

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. II Corinthians 5:17

By putting “off the old man with his deeds,” mortals “put on immortality.”

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 262:7)
