Evan Mehlenbacker lecture

Evan Mehlenbacker lecture

The mountain climber was in terrible visibility and slipped. As he was falling he grabbed on to a rope and clung there.

While not a religious man up to that point he reached out in prayer and said, “ This is the time to show me that you are here.’

A voice came to him, “ Let Go”

He didn’t listen but repeated his plea.

Same response.


Again .

This time the voice was so loud that he was shocked and let go of the rope and fell…. 8 inches to a ledge.

The laws of God as laid out in the Bible and Science and Health are reliable

S&H explains what was at work in Jesus’ teachings. They are the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecies

Can we trust the message of S& H: Absolutely

Shaken baby syndrome:

The mother held to no residual effect of -- no resentment

The baby totally recovered.

The reliable laws underly an atmosphere of thoughts that supports healing

What are you waiting for?

Drop our anthropormorphic views of God

Edison invented the first light bulb.

We don’t need him anymore in the production.

Better healing through radical transformation.

Are we following his commitment, his radical journey?

- Let go of the love of this world

Every healing is letting go of something.

When Evan was considering going in the practice, he thought, “ I’d have to think about God all the time.”

------ in fact God is All.. There is nothing else.

In grading a bunch of math papers:

- same content in the classes

- Same laws of math

- What varied: the application of the God’s law

You’re living your eternal life right now.

Remember you have these laws undergirding you.

Truth is always the victor. The devil is the liar.

This thought is apprehended slowly.

Basic theology of CS:

God is All

God is good

Evil is not real.


Researchers were living in a village in a jungle area of Papau New Guinea. The village was surrounded by a river. When the researchers left the shore to go across the river to get supplies, the villagers didn’t see them on the other side because they thought the river marked the edge of the world.

Christian Science is a marvel and a miracle

The story of the light bulb and the closet.

We have to live the allness of God.
