Cleaning up is a regular part of life.
We clean our bodies, our clothes, where we live, our car, our computing devices to keep them in good condition.
Regular cleaning is necessary to keep the filth and grime of mortality from building up and holding us back.
As part of your regular cleaning routine, don’t forget to clean up your thinking! That’s the most important cleaning of all to keep everything else in your life running smoothly.
Be sure to cast out the filth of anger, resentment, ill-will, selfishness, laziness, apathy, and their kin. Be quick to trash any suggestions of disease. Allow no space for fear to accumulate.
The Bible says, “Wash yourselves and be clean!” (Isa. 1:16, NLT).
Maintain a clean mental house. Seek spiritual mindedness and maintain it. You’ll live happier and healthier.
Thanks Evan for this purifying idea! Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Thank you Evan
Perfect! Thank you!!!!
A wonderful moment by moment reminder, Evan. Thank you ever so much.
Thank you!
I’m going to clean up and purify my thoughts (my mental home)
Let’s “shower the people we love with love” 🙂

The Bible Lesson this week is an excellent lesson for us to learn from.
One thing that particularly stands out for me is the prayerful request to God in Psalms: :“Cleanse thou me from secret faults”.
Before I knew anything about Christian Science I was not aware of all that really constitutes sin, and C.S. was an eye-opener to me. It showed me that anything that denies the allness of God our all-loving Father-Mother, who is pure and perfect, is not a reality.
Therefore if I was believing what the material senses were telling me, and repeating them, or even thinking them – i.e. judging or criticising others, or believing
in discords of any kind – that was admitting that there was another god or power opposed to the one Almighty God and Father of us all., therefore was breaking the 1st commandment.
In C.S. we are urged to keep examining our thoughts to see if there is anything unlike God’s goodness trying to creep in, and immediately reject it – and replace that thought with the spiritual fact about it. This I see as our daily mental cleansing, and it is really necessary for us if we are to keep happy and healthy, as Evan
informs us as can be.
It should be a joyful task, because it is leading us out
of the awful predictions and expectation of a material existence, so that we can be fit to find ourselves continually in the Kingdom of heavenly harmony, where we will be no longer sick, or fearful, or subject to any sinful destructive suggestions.
Thanks Maggie! That was excellent thinking! And of course thanks Evan!
Thank you, Evan.
to dovetail with this topic, one should listen to this weeks Wednesday testimony meeting from TMC under christianscience.com church services. The emphasis is on those doing good works are often mocked. We can’t be hesitant to stand up for truth and love and doing good deeds for our neighbors.
When I CLEAN, I express …
Charity | Liberty | Empathy | Adherence | Newness
All of these thoughts are so helpful. The sharing here helps to clear away the
cobwebs of mortal thinking and the sharing of tasks, like in the photo above,
also helps to ease the load that we sometimes feel burdened by. Seeing within
the word – c l e a n, I see the word lean. We can Lean on the Truth that supports
our spiritual way of thinking, helping to rid the beliefs of mortal ways, cleansing
our mental house with purity and divine purpose.
Needed this this morning. Thank you
