Ezekiel 34:11-16 11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Here I am, and I myself will search for my sheep, and I will care for them. 12 I will care for my sheep like a shepherd who has found his scattered sheep and is feeding them. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered in the day of clouds and thick gloom. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and collect them together from the lands and bring them into their land and feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams and by all the dwelling places of the land. 14 In a good pasture I will feed them, and the land where they graze will be on Israel’s hig…

GOD’S KINGDOM WILL END ALL PREJUDICE ???????????????? While Bible knowledge can help to control and root out strong emotions, there are two other elements that must be dealt with before prejudice can be completely eliminated. ???????????????? First, there is sin and human imperfection. The Bible plainly states: “There is no man that does not sin.” (1 Kings 8:46) So no matter how hard we try, we face the same internal struggle as the apostle Paul, who wrote: “When I wish to do what is right, what is bad is present with me.” (Romans 7:21) Thus, from time to time, our imperfect heart will resort to “injurious reasonings” that can lead to prejudice.—Mark…

"Look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him." (Rev. 6:2) ??? Who is the rider of the white horse? The key to his identity is found in the same Bible book, Revelation, which later identifies this heavenly rider as “The Word of God.” (Revelation 19:11-13) That title, The Word, belongs to Jesus Christ, for he acts as God’s spokesman. (John 1:1, 14) In addition, he is called “King of kings and Lord of lords” and is described as “Faithful and True.” (Revelation 19:16) ??? Clearly, he has authority to act as a warrior-king, and he does not wield his power in any corrupt or abusive way. Yet, some questions arise.…

God’s Love Manifest in a Mother’s Love! - ???❤️??? A Mother's Love like no Other ~ “Can a wife forget her suckling so that she should not pity the son of her belly? Even these women can forget, yet I myself shall not forget you.”—ISAIAH 49:15 ???❤️??? A NEWBORN baby nestles in his mother’s arms as she nurses him. The scene is one of tenderness and love. “When I first held my baby in my arms,” says a mother named Pam, “I felt an overwhelming sense of love and responsibility for this new life.” It seems an obvious fact, but research has confirmed that a mother’s love profoundly influences her baby’s development. A document published by the World He…

"They embraced Paul and affectionately kissed him."—Acts 20:37. ??? Paul’s life course was in stark contrast to that of those who would in later times take advantage of the flock. He worked to support himself so as not to impose a burden on the congregation. His efforts in behalf of fellow believers were not for personal gain. ??? Paul urged the Ephesian elders to display a self-sacrificing spirit. “You must assist those who are weak,” he told them, “and must bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’”—Acts 20:35. ??? Like Paul, Christian elders today are s…

PETER Sutcliffe has been deluged with sick fan mail since moving back to jail. SICK NOTES: Peter Sutcliffe has received dozens of letters and cards of support and 'love' The Yorkshire Ripper, 70, has received dozens of letters and cards of support and “love”.

A source said: “He must have received between 50 and 100 letters since last August. “Some offer sympathy, others tape coins or money to a card – and the most shocking tell him they ‘love’ him. “A lot …

Man who almost died after refusing blood transfusion hits out at 'harmful' Jehovah’s Witness teachings

Rebecca Lumley May 25 2017 7:38 PM A man who almost died after refusing a blood transfusion has hit out at the “harmful” practices in the Jehovah’s Witness religion that prohibited him from doing so. Phil Dunne was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness five years ago when he was diagnosed with cancer and told he would die if he did not receive a blood transfusion to negate internal bleeding caused by a tumour in his stomach. Jehovah’s Witnesses are prohibited from receiving blood transfusions “even in matters of life and death” and report a worldwide following of 8.3 million people. Speaking on RTÉ Radio One’s Liveline, Mr Dunne described how he was …

"Where are your gods that you made for yourself? Let them rise up if they can save you in your time of calamity."—Jer. 2:28. ??? Sadly, Israel did not prove faithful to their God, Jehovah. They allowed themselves to be influenced by nations that worshipped gods of wood and stone. In the eighth century B.C.E., the prophet Hosea wrote: “Israel is a degenerate vine . . . He multiplies his altars . . . Their heart is hypocritical; now they will be found guilty.” (Hos. 10:1, 2) ??? About a century and a half later, Jeremiah recorded these words of Jehovah to His unfaithful people: “I planted you as a choice red vine, all of it pure seed; so how have you tu…

[God’s] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship.—Rom. 1:20. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/28 Jehovah’s great love has been displayed in many ways. For example, note the magnificence of the universe. There are billions of galaxies, each containing many billions of stars and planets. In our own Milky Way galaxy, one of those stars is our sun, without which the multitude of life forms on earth would not exist. All these creations give evidence of Jehovah’s Godship and of his qualities, such as his power, wisdom, and love. On earth, Jehovah …

If any man does not know how to preside over his own household, how will he care for the congregation of God?—1 Tim. 3:5. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/27 By word and example, Jesus trained his disciples to serve others humbly. (Luke 22:27) He taught his apostles to be self-sacrificing in Jehovah’s service and in dealing with fellow believers. Through your example of humble self-sacrifice, you can teach your children the same lesson. “I never felt jealous because of the time my husband spent with others as an elder,” says Debbie, a mother of two. “I knew that whenever our family needed my husband’s attention, he would give it to us.” Her husband, P…

Ponder over these things.—1 Tim. 4:15. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/26 Man’s linguistic abilities are a miraculous gift designed by God.(Ps. 139:14; Rev. 4:11) Our God-given brain is unique in another important respect. Unlike animals, humans were created “in God’s image.” They have free will and can choose to use their linguistic skills to glorify God. (Gen. 1:27) To all who desire to honor the Creator of language, God has given a wonderful gift, the Bible. It is available in whole or in part in over 2,800 languages. When you absorb these holy writings, you are filling your mind with the thoughts of God. (Ps. 40:5; 92:5; 139:17) Thus you can enjo…

WE CAN HAVE MUCH JOY FROM RAISING CHILDREN! - THEY ARE A GIFT! - TEACH THEM AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU GREAT JOY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE! ?????? Daily Attention From Infancy ?????? Parents have to give almost constant attention to a newborn. However, does the baby need only physical or material attention on a daily basis? To God’s servant Timothy, the apostle Paul wrote: “From infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation.” (2 Timothy 3:15) So the parental attention Timothy received, even from infancy, was also of a spiritual kind. But when does infancy start? ?????? The Greek word Paul used here (bre′phos) is …

DON'T EVER GIVE UP! WE HAVE H.O.P.E. YES HOPE! H•O•P•E It can mean trust, reliance; desire accompanied with expectation of what is desired or belief that it is attainable; one on whom hopes are centered; a source of hopeful expectation, or promise; something that is hoped for, or an object of hope. The Hebrew root verb qa·wah′, from which come terms rendered “hope,” basically means “wait for” with eager expectation. (Ge 49:18) In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the sense of the Greek term el·pis′ (hope) is “expectation of good.” (Romans 5:1-5) . . Therefore, now that we have been declared righteous as a result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God t…
