Keep in Expectation ! Keep in expectation of it!—Hab. 2:3. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/12 For the composite sign of Christ’s presence to serve its purpose, the fulfillment of it would have to be obvious enough to command the attention of those who have been obeying Jesus’ counsel to “keep on the watch.” (Matt. 24:27, 42) And that has been the case since 1914. From that time onward, the features of the sign have been undergoing fulfillment. Clearly, we are now living in “the conclusion of the system of things”—a limited period of time leading up to and including the destruction of this wicked system. (Matt. 24:3) Why, then, should Christians …

13 "Let your brotherly love continue." What is brotherly love? The original Greek word Paul used literally means “affection for a brother.” Brotherly love is a strong, warm feeling between family members or close friends. (John 11:36) We do not pretend to be brothers and sisters. We are brothers and sisters. (Matthew 23:8) Paul says: “In brotherly love have tender affection for one another. In showing honor to one another, take the lead.” (Romans 12:10) Those words show how strong our affection is for our brothers. This brotherly love, along with love based on Christian principles, helps God’s people to be close friends with one another and to be united. …

“Now that you have put away falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor.”—EPH. 4:25. Normally it is with our family that we have the closest bond. To strengthen this bond, it is vital that we speak truthwith one another. Many problems and misunderstandings can be reduced or eliminated by being open, honest, and kind in our communication. For example, when we make a mistake, do we hesitate to acknowledge it to our mate, to our children, or to other close family members? Offering a sincere apology from the heart helps to promote peace and unity within the family.—Read 1 Peter 3:8-10. Speaking truth does not mean that we should be blu…

Unless Jehovah builds the house, it is in vain that its builders work hard on it.—Ps. 127:1. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/11 Jehovah’s organization goes to tremendous lengths to provide and help finance modest Kingdom Halls. The work of designing, building, and remodeling them is handled by unpaid volunteers. Since November 1, 1999, more than 28,000 beautiful new centers of pure worship have been provided for congregations worldwide. That means that for 15 years, on average, five new Kingdom Halls have been provided every day of the year. Efforts are being made to support the construction of Kingdom Halls wherever they are needed. This loving provi…

ROCKFORD — Four sports competitions and a religious convention are coming to Rockford this year and next, promising to bolster the local economy to the tune of nearly $735,000, according to the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. The Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses is returning to the BMO Harris Bank Center this summer after a 10-year hiatus, said John Groh, president and CEO of the Visitors Bureau. That event should drop about $589,500 on the region's shops, hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions. "Then they'll go home and tell their friends and family" about Rockford, Groh said during a news conference today. "While they're here, they'll cer…

"I am Jehovah. That is my name" ~Isaiah 42:8 Does God Have a Name ? The Bible’s answers..... Humans all have personal names. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for God to have a name? Having and using personal names is a vital part of human friendships. Should it be different when it comes to our friendship with God? In the Bible, God says: “"I am Jehovah. That is my name."” (Isaiah 42:8) Although he also has many titles, such as “"God Almighty,"” “"Sovereign Lord,"” and “"Creator,"” he honors his worshippers by inviting them to address him by his personal name.—Genesis 17:1; Acts 4:24; 1 Peter 4:19. Many translations of the Bible contain God’s person…

God’s foremost judicial officer, Jesus Christ, is “the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah.” (Re 5:5) Appropriately, therefore, the lion, as a symbol of courageous justice, is associated with Jehovah’s presence and throne.—Eze 1:10; 10:14; Re 4:7.

♥Let Your Words Become as Gold Apples at the Right Time♥ (Proverbs 25:11) 11 "As apples of gold in silver carvings is a word spoken at the right time for it." (Proverbs 15:23) A man has rejoicing in the answer of his mouth, and a word at its right time is O how good! (Proverbs 24:26) Lips will he kiss who is replying in a straightforward way. (Ecclesiastes 12:10) "The congregator sought to find the delightful words and the writing of correct words of truth." (Isaiah 50:4) "The Sovereign Lord Jehovah himself has given me the tongue of the taught ones, that I may know how to answer the tired one with a word. He awakens morning by morning; he awakens…

Fathers Set the Good Example! - You will be Happy to Train them when they are young!- Before they decide on their own! - You may preserve their Life! (Proverbs 22:6) 6 Train up a boy according to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from it." Does Proverbs 22:6 guarantee that if Christian children are properly trained, they will not depart from the way of Jehovah? This verse reads: “Train up a boy according to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from it.” Just as the bending of a twig influences its growth into a tree, children who are properly trained are more inclined to continue to serve Jehovah when the…

"Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force. In splendid holiness, from the womb of the dawn, You have your company of young men just like dewdrops." (Psalms 110:3) Jehovah also exerts power through his authority as Universal Sovereign. Can you imagine having millions upon millions of intelligent, able subjects eager to do your bidding? Jehovah wields such ruling power. He has human servants, in Scripture often likened to an army, just like dewdrops. Are you part of that army?

Nice story! It's ok to be a little cracked!! ⚱?⚱ An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it ha…

Unpaid internships, shady side jobs, and skipping college is one way to get to the top. I've only personally been in New York City once, but if there was one thing I learned during my time there, Briana Cheng is the girl to know for both music smarts and a damn good time. She's currently working as an A&R at Downtown Records (who's artists include/included Justice, Smino, Tei Shi, Slow Magic, Mura Masa, and more). If there's anyone that understands navigating through the music industry better than anyone, it's this still-unexpectedly young rising star. From blogging at EARMILK to internships, she's figured out how to make it to the top her way. How di…

They gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.—Rev. 16:16. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/3/10 The war of Armageddon will lead to the magnifying of Jehovah’s holy name. At that time, all goatlike ones “will depart into everlasting cutting-off.” (Matt. 25:31-33, 46) The earth will finally be cleansed of all wickedness, and the great crowd will pass through the final part of the great tribulation. With these exciting events ahead of us, what should each of us now be doing? The apostle Peter was inspired to write: “Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, consider what sort of people you ought to be in holy ac…

Wise in Heart”—Yet Humble! Jehovah’s humility is manifest in yet another beautiful quality—reasonableness. This quality is sadly lacking among imperfect humans. Not only is Jehovah willing to listen to his intelligent creatures but he is also willing to yield when there is no conflict with righteous principles. As used in the Bible, the word “reasonable” literally means “yielding.” This quality too is a hallmark of divine wisdom. In what sense is the all-wise Jehovah reasonable? For one thing, he is adaptable. Remember, his very name teaches us that Jehovah causes himself to become whatever is needed in order to fulfill his purposes. (Exodus 3:14) Does tha…

"Humility"When a person is "known rich" or "looks rich" and buys a decent mode of transportation - many views that person as humble but when a person is "viewed poor" or "looks poor" and drives the same decent mode of transportation - many views that person as arrogant.This is not about wealth, but the perspective. Might there be a difference between the definition of humility vs personal view of what "suits" an individual?In some countries, may locals view the minorities as "minorities"(incl. migrants from "poor" countries) and when these "minorities act" not as what they want to view them - many say that they "lack humility". Many fell on the same trap back in the fir…
