I recently bought a t-shirt from the Friends Committee on National Legislation that says, “Love Your Neighbor, No Exceptions.” I wore that t-shirt to my exercise class, and one person looked at it and said, “Oh, sure!” I think that actually, what this person said out loud is what most of us think, whether we say it or not. “Love that person who voted for the people causing all of this? Oh sure! No way!” “Love that person who did that terrible thing? Oh sure! No way!” “Love th

Today I’m sharing from Divine Science Daily Studies by Rev. Nina Russell of Baton Rouge, LA. DIVINE MANIFESTATION “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse, from John 1:1 is often not understood. Let us substitute the words “Divine Manifestation” for “Word.” “In the beginning was the Divine Manifestation and the Divine Manifestation was with God, and the Divine Manifestation was God.” This makes more sense and i

Good morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I have a reading for you this morning from the January 30th Divine Science Daily Study, titled: IN MY DEEP SPRING OF WISDOM, I FIND PEACE Amongst indigenous Australians, dadirri is inner deep listening that recognises the deep spring of wisdom inside us. Aunty Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Bauman, an Aboriginal elder from Nauiyu in the far north of Australia, has written: When I experience dadirri, I am made whole again. I can sit on the riverbank

Today I’m speaking on “It’s All About Love.” What mankind has called the big bang of creation is about God - as an infinite power of love, so full that this love had to be expressed as a new form. All this love contained had to be released and thus love burst forth to be experienced through its expression as joy, intelligence, beauty and as the many facets of life. All beings, all creation, all life are the result of love being expressed. Our Divine Source is love, therefore

Good Morning! This is Rev. Teresa. My topic today is: “What Are You Creating?” I’m going to read you the creation story from the Bible in the book of Genesis 1:1 to 2:3. God created the heavens and the earth in the very beginning. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water. And God said, let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separat

Today I’m sharing from Divine Science Daily Studies by Rev. Dr. Sylvia Eriksson, Victoria Australia, titled I AM BORN OF SPIRIT. Neglect not the gift that is in thee. Stir up the gift of God which is in thee. --1Timothy 4:14, 2Timothy 1:6 Today I turn inward and give thanks to God for my very own gifts which God has implanted at the core of my being. Every breath I take gives me the gift of Life, every beat of my heart gives me the gift of God’s Love, every moment of the d

Good morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I have a reading for you today from the January 12, 2026 Divine Science Federation International Daily Study titled: A FOUNDATION FOR MIRACLES The word miracle derives from the Greek word meaning “a mighty work.” The same Greek word is the root of dynamite. So a miracle is simply a mighty, powerful work, or happening, that takes place when we are fully in tune with, receptive to, and cooperative with the One Power and Presence we call God.

Today I’m speaking on “A New Vision for Humanity.” The world just celebrated the ending of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. We welcome in the new energies. First I’m going to share a little about the 2026 energy, and then I’m going to have us hold a high vision for all humanity and the world. The study of sacred numbers is called “numerology.” Numbers represent spiritual energies, they are vibrations, and are archetypal in nature. Meaning each number has its own value and spe

Good morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I am speaking today about embracing peace and bringing peace into 2026. There has been a lot of anger in 2025. It is understandable how we come to feel anger due to conditions in the U.S. and in other places on the earth right now. In the U.S. there are large disagreements about the treatment of immigrants and ICE agents in our cities. These are our neighbors, fellow human beings. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the issues that ar

Today I’m sharing from the book The Christ which is a collection of articles from Harmony Magazine 1887-1906 by Malinda Cramer. This one is titled “Putting on the New Man.” Since God is infinite and unalterable goodness, then all goodness must be eternal; and the opposite must be false appearance... Since that which is eternal is truth, temporary appearances are false. Since that which is eternal is real, temporary appearances must be unreal. Since that which is eternal is s

Good Morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I have a reading for you today from the January 3 Divine Science Federation International Daily Study. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. –Psalm 122:7 "When you want peace of mind get away from things," counseled Emmet Fox, "and dwell upon the Presence of God instead." Your palace is your own consciousness. The walls spoken of in this Bible verse are invisible, but just as real as any stone wall. Your walls are yo

Today’s talk is titled Preparing for 2026.This is the first Sunday of January. January is named after the Roman God Janus. Janus has two faces, one looking backward and the other forward. His two faces symbolized watchfulness in both directions—past and future, inside and outside. These symbols were often found above an entrance or doorway. Romans believed Janus guarded all transitions, including the physical transition of moving through a doorway. Doorways were considered s

My topic today is Peace in my Heart. I invite you to get a pen and paper to make notes to yourself as I talk. Then we will do a releasing ceremony at the end. Today is the last Sunday of 2025, a good time to look back and reflect. 2025 was a tough year for many people. There has been a lot of seeming chaos in the United States, and in many places around the world. There have been wars and bombings in various places. There seems to be a great divide in politics, with people in

Today I’m sharing from the Divine Science Daily Studies. It is written by Rev. Dr. Sylvia Eriksson of the First Divine Science Church of Australia One who is really poised in understanding is not led by emotions or governed by feelings, but constantly looks through all appearances to find unchanging Truth. Daisy M. (Mrs C.L) Baum, Individual Responsibility Daisy M. Baum tells us in her writings that we must be strongly poised in the understanding of the Truth of the Greater

Today we conclude the Advent season with the lighting of all 4 advent candles plus the center candle representing the Christ. I invite you to imagine as we light each candle that we are igniting a flame within our own heart. Our first candle represents Hope. Hope is the seed for a greater future. Several hundred years before the birth of Jesus the Christ Isaiah foretold of a great messiah to come, and the Jewish people kept hope burning alive in their hearts. This day we hold

For our Christmas service I’m sharing an essay originally published in Harmony Magazine December 1888 by Divine Science founder Malinda Elliot Cramer titled Christmas. This was republished in 1990 by the Divine Science Federation Int’l in the book Hidden Harmony; it’s a collection of writings from Harmony Magazine 1888-1906. Now imagine Cramer sitting in her San Francisco home in 1888 writing her Christmas message. Thinking back now over nearly nineteen hundred years of the w

We are observing the Advent Season in lighting our Advent candles. We may also use our imagination to light these candles within our heart. We shall now relight the prior 2 candles; first Hope and now Faith. This week is about joy. Today our Advent candle represents joy. I shall read from Matthew 7-11: “Behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.

Today I am speaking about The Joy of the Soul. Merriam Webster defines joy as, “a feeling of great happiness or pleasure: delight, a state of great happiness: bliss” Spiritually, joy can be seen as a quality of the soul, grounded in faith in God’s presence, even in challenging times. A sense of closeness to God elicits the joy of the soul. We are truly one with God, living, moving and having our being in God. In meditation God’s presence may be felt within, in the heart, in t

This is the second Sunday of the Advent season. Each Sunday we light a candle. You may light an actual candle or light an imaginary candle in your heart. Last week we lit the first candle for Hope. Let’s take a moment to relight the candle of Hope. Now we move to our candle for the second week of Advent, the candle representing Faith. The scripture reading for today is from Luke 1, verses 38 and 45-47. “Mary said, Here I am, a handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according t

Today’s talk is about Exercising Faith in Difficult Times. There are many kinds of challenges we may experience. These may be a personal life tragedy as in a loss of loved ones, terminal disease, or life altering injury. Then there are traumas as in a break-up of a long relationship, loss of a job, or our home and possessions. We all at times have been challenged living through difficult times. All these and many more can bring about depression or worse. For some people these
