With Barack Obama and John McCain slated as this year’s White House contenders, problems such as immigration, abortion, health care, and the war on terrorism are once again becoming topics of debate. But Christian Science lecturer Ron Ballard urges us to consider what entitlements God’s government gives us daily—for free. Listen to Ron share how he used prayer to solve an important social issue when he worked for a prominent political campaign.

How great to connect with our world neighbors through prayer! Each day I “google” a different country and look for news from that area. To-day’s is Mexico - here’s an opportunity to pray for “youth”. “Mexico nightclub tragedy caused by inept police and an ignored youth, advocate says” is an article title that can be found at: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/laplaza/2008/06/mexico-nightclu.html. This article mentions tensions amongst the mayor, police and youth.
It seems effective to pray beyond knowing there’s One Mind in each of these politically-charged seeming challenges. One Truth I’ve been praying with to-day is, “Love alone can impart the limitless idea of Mind.” (from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” p 510).
I’m delighted that recently some news articles I’ve discovered in world-wide publications are beginning to provide positive press in their coverage - a great way to affirm the goodness that we are capable of seeing e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e in God’s creation.
This was a great talk…thanks for posting it! One thing I think is so cool about Christian Science is that it encourages us to rise above divisive, human opinions and look at situations from a more balanced, spiritual perspective. I think this is especially impressive in contrast to some other religions that try to get their adherents to take political sides. I think a more balanced view on political issues manifests more love and goes a longer way in helping to heal the problems in the world.
