What is the Key to Find Brotherly Affection? - ????? Finding the Key to Brotherly Affection ~ ????? We would not want to overlook the very special brotherly affection that the apostle Paul and his Christian companion Timothy had for each other, which was, certainly, based on appreciating each other’s qualities. Paul’s writings contain fine comments about Timothy, such as: “I have no one else of a disposition like his who will genuinely care for the things pertaining to you. . . . You know the proof he gave of himself, that like a child with a father he slaved with me in furtherance of the good news.” (Philippians 2:20-22) ????? (Philippians 2:20…

????????? Superior Moral Principles Humans seem designed to trust. Nevertheless, the Bible realistically states that “the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up.” (Genesis 8:21) ????? How can you battle that inclination and resist the tide of dishonesty that is so prevalent today? The following Bible principles can help: ?● “Do not fabricate against your fellowman anything bad, when he is dwelling in a sense of security with you.”—Proverbs 3:29. ?Love for our neighbor moves us to seek his welfare, not to abuse his trust. This principle could put an end to numerous forms of human exploitation motivated by greed, such as the …

"I surrender my soul in behalf of the sheep."—John 10:15. ??????? Husbands should imitate Jesus in showing affection for those under their care. Rather than harshly dominating his wife, a husband who desires God’s approval continues loving her “just as the Christ also loved the congregation.” (Eph. 5:25) ??????? His words should be kind and considerate, for she is worthy of honor. (1 Pet. 3:7) In training young ones, the family head should firmly uphold godly principles. However, he must not fail to show affection for his children. Needed discipline should be administered lovingly. Some young ones may take longer than others to get the sense of what i…

For YOU are a mist appearing for a little while and then disappearing. If I am a little mist soon to disappear, Would I care about this? Would I care what's amiss? Would I accept what's not bliss? If I am just here for a little while, Would I make a step a mile? Would I dwell and stew... and be mad, If a short mist of life is all I had? All of what is bothering me, Is it worth time spent devouring thee? If I am a mist that soon disappears, Shouldn't that de-mist some fears? What does it benefit to be overly concerned? If I am a disappearing mist as I've discerned? Instead I will not over react. I will keep my balance undisturbed. For a little mist in life I am, Soon to di…

Can a bumblebee fly? That was the question that a District Overseer asked a group of pioneers in the pioneer meeting. "Can a bumblebee Fly?" Of course most of the pioneers thought for a minute but then all nodded yes. Bumblebees fly.Then he said that actually they can't. Not according to scientists. Scientifically and aerodynamically speaking, everything about the bumblebee, its shape and body weight compared to its ultra light wings indicates that it should NOT be able to fly at all.But nobody told the little bumblebee that he can't fly, so he goes on about his business, flying anyway. So, why does the bumblebee fly??? Because our Creator mak…

Everyone who keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.—Matt. 5:28. Recall what happened in King David’s case. “From the rooftop [David] saw a woman bathing.” (2 Sam. 11:2) He failed to look away and to direct his thoughts elsewhere. That led him to desire a woman who was someone else’s wife and to take steps to commit adultery with her. In order to combat immoral fantasies, we need to ‘make a covenant with our eyes,’ as did faithful Job. (Job 31:1, 7, 9) We must solemnly decide to control our eyes and not allow them to gaze with immoral lust at another person. That would include averting our gaze…

Do not bring us into temptation.—Matt. 6:13. Considering what happened to Jesus shortly after his baptism can help us to understand the need for the request: “Do not bring us into temptation.” Jesus was led into the wilderness by God’s spirit. Why? “To be tempted by the Devil.” (Matt. 4:1) Should that surprise us? Not if we grasp the main reason why God sent his Son to the earth. That was to settle the issue raised when Adam and Eve rejected God’s sovereignty. Questions needed time to be settled. For example, was something wrong with the way God created man? Was it possible for a perfect human to uphold God’s sovereignty regardless of pressures from “the wicked one”?…

WHAT ABOUT THE DEAD SEA? WHAT HAPPENED THERE? ??????? Take note that the Dead Sea was not always dead. At one time it was known as the beautiful land with great forests and trees. When Abraham and Lot first separated Abraham gave Lot the first choice of where he wanted to go. Lot said that that the land was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, Gen 13:10. ??????? The first thing we notice here in these photos are the white ash figures as they compare to brown earth of the land. The rectangular white shapes are not made up of rock or dirt. It's white ash, made from materials completely burned through. ??????? Carl found the area filled w…
