King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba - Amazed at His Wisdom. Knowledge and Wisdom! - A Gift from Jehovah! ~ (Sol′o·mon) [from a root meaning “peace”] (1 Kings 10:1-25) . . .Now the queen of She′ba was hearing the report about Sol′o·mon in connection with the name of Jehovah. So she came to test him with perplexing questions. 2 Finally she arrived at Jerusalem with a very impressive train, camels carrying balsam oil and very much gold and precious stones; and she came on in to Sol′o·mon and began to speak to him all that happened to be close to her heart. 3 Sol′o·mon, in turn, went on to tell her all her matters. There proved to be no matter hidden from the…

What Does Jehovah See in Your Heart? - We Must Hate What is Bad and Love What is Good! ~ "Jehovah, he sees what the heart is.” (1 Sam 16:7) Jehovah’s purpose does not depend on the wavering loyalties of imperfect humans. In the Scriptures, the heart is often used figuratively to represent what a person is inside—his desires, his thoughts, his emotions, and his affections. So when the Bible says that God sees the heart, it means that he looks beyond outward appearances and focuses on what a person really is. To all who yearn to worship Jehovah in an acceptable way, he says: “Hate what is bad, and love what is good.” (Amos 5:15) Love and hate are strong emotion…

Our Creator will Save Us! "Every breathing thing—let it praise Jah. Praise Jah!" (Psalms 150:6) NWT What Some Predict Many believe that human activities are a major cause of global warming, which may have catastrophic consequences for the climate and the environment. For example, large-scale melting of land-based ice and the expansion of the oceans as water warms could cause sea levels to rise drastically. At the same time, rising temperatures could intensify storms, floods, and droughts. In the Himalayas, disappearing glaciers—from areas that feed seven river systems—could cause shortages of freshwater for 40 percent of the world’s population. Also…

Torre di Guardia del 1 settembre 1993 pag.31 In 1938 the Greek anti-Communist dictator Ioannis Metaxas passed a strict criminal law against proselytism. Minos Kokkinakis of Crete was the first man arrested under the law and, a half century later, he would be the last. In the intervening years, he would be detained more than sixty times and serve more than six years behind bars. Minos lived an epic life. He is most notable for his repeated clashes with Greece's ban on proselytism. For starters, freedom of religion: "Another case involved a Witness in Greece named Minos Kokkinakis. Over a period of 48 years, he was arrested more than 60 times for “pr…

I Do Not Except Glory From Men 19 "Therefore, in response Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner. 20 "For the Father has affection for the Son and shows him all the things he himself does, and he will show him works greater than these, so that you may marvel." 21 "For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to." 22 For the Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son," 23 "so th…

Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him." (Luke 22:41-43). jw.org IMG_6740.MP4

“For “who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, so that he may instruct him?” But we do have the mind of Christ.” (1 Cor. 2:16) We do have the mind of Christ. — 1 Cor. 2:16. It is good to remember that being whole-souled is not a matter of how much time we spend in the ministry. Individual circumstances vary. A person who spends just an hour or two in field service each month may be very pleasing to Jehovah if that really is all his health allows him to do. (Compare Mark 12:41-44.) Hence, to determine what wholesouled service to God means for us personally, we need to make a frank appraisal of our abilities and circumstances. As followers of C…

1909–1995 Evelyn Beatrice Roberts—known as Lynette Roberts—was born in Buenos Aires in 1909 to parents of Welsh origin. As a young woman, she moved to London and studied art at the Central School for Arts and Crafts. She married the Welsh author and editor Keidrych Rhys in 1939; Dylan Thomas was their best man. Roberts spent all her adult life in Wales, and her poetry reflects the sights, sounds, and people she encountered there, as well as modernist influences such as T.S. Eliot, who, as editor of Faber and Faber, published two of Roberts’s collections: Poems (1944) and Gods with Stainless Ears: A Heroic Poem (1951). Roberts’s poetry is known for its range and virtu…

She was a big, disheveled, super-friendly and warm, black woman sitting on her wheeled walker outside Wegmans who said Hi! as I walked by. I stopped. Can I ask you a question? she said. You see, she had to catch her bus – that one across the parking lot - she’d missed one and she was freezing, but the dog had ate her money or something and she needed $3. How do I know you’re on the up and up? I asked. She replied she guessed I didn’t but grab her hand and just see feel cold she is. ‘Well, I can spare $3,’ I thought and handed it over. I also gave her a card. ‘Just so you know,’ I said. ‘Do with it what you will on your own time.’ On seeing the car…

According to today’s (2/12/2017) Watchtower study, "trying different types of wine, decorating the home, finding new clothing styles, making investments, planning vacation trips, and the like" are works of the flesh. They are not wrong in themselves. Some are even necessary to a degree, but "setting the mind on the flesh means death." (Romans 8:6) They are like kids in the car – fine to have along as passengers. They belong. You have to turn around and yell at them once in a while, but that’s unavoidable – an accepted cost of having them along. They are just fine as passengers. But you don’t put them in the driver’s seat, for they will run you into a tree or off…
