The very first verse of the Bible in the chapter Genesis offers the most wonderful news: “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” Part of what this glorious verse tells us is that in reality, everything and everyone begins with God. In other words, God is the only cause and the only creator, and God is causing good and right developments for each one of us.
You are invited to this free one-hour lecture where you will hear about causation from a spiritual point of view. In other words, what is God causing? What kind of effects does God’s causative power produce? The Bible promises that God is causing only good.
Mary Baker Eddy, the woman who founded the Christian Science church, knew that this subject of causation, cause and effect, might just be the most important discussion of our time. In fact, she boldly stated that making progress in the world depends on understanding cause and effect in the right way. She wrote: “Spiritual causation is the one question to be considered, for more than all others spiritual causation relates to human progress.” (Science and Health p. 170:22–24)
Mr. McCurties will explore how a better understanding of the good that God forever causes can help us to experience more of that goodness in the form of health, peace, and safety for our world.
In his presentation, Mr. McCurties will illustrate his talk with examples of healing, achieved through the application of prayer as taught by Christ Jesus.
