This month's featured article
OVERCOMING THE GOLIATH OF SELF
"There it was again! These explosions of temper were growing more severe, and I needed help.
Someone once said that the greatest Goliath we ever face may be the human self. The human ego can feel like a gigantic threat to peace and well-being. We might be well aware of the flaws and faults that this seeming material selfhood includes. But this is not our true, God-created individuality and is therefore a false sense of identity that can be courageously challenged and overcome through Christ, the benevolent, ever-active influence of divine Love. This understanding is where my search for healing began...."
About us...
We are a small oasis of peace in the city of Haarlem where you can come to read and study the Bible and Christian Science texts, sit quietly to pray, drink coffee or discuss aspects of Christian healing. We also hold weekly Christian Science church services each Sunday morning and on the 4th Wednesday of each month in the evening.
What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is a way to use the teachings of Christ Jesus and Bible texts to heal and transform people's lives through prayer
How was Christian Science discovered?
Christian Science was discovered by Mary Baker Eddy, more than 100 years ago. She developed the laws of Christian Science after being healed of critical injuries. Through her study of the Bible, she rediscovered the same healing techniques used by Jesus.
Does Christian Science work?
There are many tens of thousands of documented and verified healings published. Everything from broken bones to cancer, panic attacks to mental illness; but also finding work, improving personal finances and improving self-esteem.
“ God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. ”
