Christ is the power of God.—1 Cor. 1:24. Jehovah displayed his power through Jesus Christ in extraordinary ways. The four Gospels provide faith-strengthening details about some of the miracles that Christ performed. Likely, he performed many other miracles. (Matt. 9:35; Luke 9:11) Yes, GodÂ’s power was manifested in Jesus. For good reason, then, the apostle Paul could say about him: “Christ is the power of God.” Yet, what bearing can JesusÂ’ miracles have on our life? The apostle Peter said that Jesus performed miracles, or “wonders.” (Acts 2:22) The powerful works that Jesus did on earth were foregleams of even grander blessings to come under his kingly rule. Th…

They saw them from a distance and welcomed them.—Heb. 11:13. Abraham had so much evidence to demonstrate the reality of what he hoped for that it was as if he could see what he had not actually beheld! AbrahamÂ’s faith in GodÂ’s promises strengthened his resolve to do the divine will. Acting in faith, he left the city of Ur and refused to take up permanent residence in any of the cities of Canaan. Like Ur, they had shaky foundations because of their ungodly governments. (Josh. 24:2) For the rest of his long life, Abraham “was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer and builder is God.” (Heb. 11:10) Abraham “saw” himself living in a permanent pla…

Public Letter Read to the brothers of North America: Dear Brothers: We wish to provide an update on recent natural disasters in our territory and what can be done to provide additional assistance.

In addition, the fires in California areas affected hundreds of editors, and more than 1,400 had to evacuate. Sadly, 29 of their homes were completely destroyed. Because of these disasters, seven active disaster relief committees are operating throughout the territory of our branch. Despite the many tragic events that our brot…

“Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God." (Matt 5:8) ??? What Does It Mean to Be “Pure in Heart”? I See God Do You? In the Bible, “heart” is often used in a symbolic sense. According to one reference work, the Biblical term for heart indicates the “innermost part of man” and “is supremely the one centre in man to which God turns, in which the religious life is rooted, which determines moral conduct.” The heart represents what we really are on the inside. As the above-quoted work highlights, it is this that Jehovah examines and that he appreciates in his servants.—1 Pet. 3:4 In the Bible, “pure” and “clean” can indicate what…

This just in from the 2017 Annual Meeting: 1. Watchtowers and Awakes won't be released regularly, at least three Watchtower and Awakes per year. 6 magazines a year. 2. A new book is being released: Remain in God's Love, more of an update like how they did for the What Does the Bible Really Teach book. And it will be released 2018-2019 3. Study Watchtowers will now be simplified or rather be in a simple language in two years from now. Did anyone catch something else?

Drink-drive Jehovah’s witness fails to wriggle out of blood test
by Guest Nicole- 1 reply
- 1.2k views
A Jehovah’s witness has failed to persuade two courts that his beliefs should have excluded him from being subjected to a blood test. The context was a situation in which the 41-year-old had “blew insufficiently” three times into a police breathalyzer. Frustrated agents took him to the nearest hospital where he cited his religion for refusing a blood test. Magistrates on appeal have maintained the man’s fine and driving ban, saying not only had he NOT proved that he really is a Jehovah’s Witness, but he had also “distorted the facts” as related by arresting police officers. The man has thus got to pay-up €900 (the original fine) and remain off the road, on …

Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.—Jas. 4:7. As we near the end of this system of things, Satan wants us to relax our guard, to “be kind” to ourselves by carving out a niche in this world, thus losing our sense of urgency. Do not let that happen to you! Instead, “keep on the watch.” (Matt. 16:22, 23; 24:42) Never believe SatanÂ’s deceptive propaganda that the end is far off—or that it is not coming at all. Satan tries to have us believe that from GodÂ’s standpoint we are unlovable and our sins are unforgivable. That is all part of SatanÂ’s deceptive propaganda. After all, who is particularly and really unlovable in JehovahÂ’s eyes? It is Satan. Who is …

Family of elderly woman killed in Miami hit-and-run speaks out

MIAMI (WSVN) - A South Florida family is speaking out days after an 83-year-old, wheelchair-bound woman was killed by a hit-and-run driver on her way to church in Miami. Margaret Ruiz’s loved ones are seeking solace in their faith. “You can’t avoid these things that happen in life, but we have to believe, and we have to have trust and love and faith,” said Lucy Ruiz, the victim’s sister. Lucy, 73, said she is still in shock over how her older sister was killed. “It’s very upsetting to hear that. So sudden,” she said. Grainy surveillance video captured her as she traveled on her electric wheelchair down the sidewalk, near Northeast 62nd Street and Second Ave…

"Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence" (2 Thessalonians 2:8). I understand that Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus Christ presence began back in 1914. I also understand that JWs believe the clergy of Christendom represent the Man of Lawlessness. However, if that is the case, why have the clergy thrived since 1914? Shouldn't they be brought to "...nothing by the manifestation of his presence"?

? An Army with a Rose & Bible  ? I was sitting on a summer day, beneath a shady tree, Descending into slumber, when a vision came to me. There was beating of a thousand drums - the ground was Shaking too. Then over the horizon came a woman into view. And then another woman, with a hundred at her heel. They multiplied a thousand fold - the vision was surreal! Salvation was their helmet, and solid faith their shield, With righteousness as breastplates, their hearts were well Concealed. A mighty sword they all possessed, held tightly in their Palms. Was this the female army indicated in the Psalms? Their eyes were facing forwar…

Throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.—1 Pet. 5:7. Why does Jehovah not give us an immediate response to our every request? Recall that he likens our relationship with him to that of children with a father. (Ps. 103:13) A child cannot rightly expect a parent to grant every request or to do so right away. Some of a childÂ’s requests may be mere passing whims. Others must wait till the time is right. Still others may not be in the childÂ’s best interests or in the best interests of others involved. Furthermore, to concede immediately to a childÂ’s every request would change the relationship to one of master and slave, the child being the master. Simil…
