“Obedience to Truth gives man power and strength. Submission to error superinduces loss of power.”

  1. A rousing “marching call” for me today. Quick and easy to keep in thought. 🙂 Thank you,

  2. Yes, thank you! Here’s a quote that I like by Thomas Jefferson: “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”

    1. Rosemary — great quote by Thomas Jefferson! Thanks for sharing it. And thank you, Evan, for another of Mrs. Eddy’s simple yet powerful statements.

  3. Which says to me; listen to TRUST in Divine Love, instead of fear. Thank you for the reminder!

  4. MBE’s use of that word “superinduces” always stops me in my tracks! This seems like such a modern word…it’s so extreme! But read in context…wow..that gives the impression of an immediate and MASSIVE loss of power .like a whole city suddenly losing power….and “simply” from giving in to or believing error.

    By extension, this says to me that the power for good is also superinduced by acknowledging God as that power! Power ON and all systems GO!

    1. Thanks for sharing your thoughtful extention of the word and meaning. Connecting MBE’s timeless truths to our current, daily experience, allows each of us to more readily put them into action, don’t you think?

  5. Mrs. Eddy also tells us, “The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable.” (Science and Health, p. 192)
    It’s easy. Do good. Obey Truth. Be spiritually powerful!

  6. Commitment requires obedience to our God which provides the strength to resist mortal mind and its false claims.

  7. Thank you to everyone who has shared their inspiration. It is great to be part of a world-wide, thought-wide, community of spiritual thinkers!

  8. Thank you Evan, so important, stick to Truth in any case, and why, because we know that Truth is always the winner – so comforting. Each victory with Truth makes us stronger and more powerful over error. It is a wise statement, and I am working on it for good results with God.

  9. Thank You Evans, when error’s evidence overwhelmingly seem out of control, I turn to God acknowledging One Mind is never out of control of His Creation and thank God for being God to all of us. The Truth that frees me will deliver and cause me to know the spiritual idea that is needed for every occasion for seeing God is in control and peace and harmony reigns and prevails here, now and forever.
