Into these very things, angels are desiring to peer.—1 Pet. 1:12. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/8/11 Jehovah could have had the angels do the writing of the Scriptures. After all, they have a keen interest in us and our activities. No doubt, the angels could have written down God’s message to mankind. But would they have seen things from a human perspective? Would they have been able to relate to our needs, our weaknesses, and our aspirations? No, Jehovah knew their limitations in this regard. By having humans write the Bible, Jehovah made it more personal for us. We can understand the thinking and emotions of Bible writers and others mentioned in the…

The need for adjustments should be no surprise. On a number of occasions in Bible times too, God’s worshippers had to alter their viewpoint. Source

Holy spirit has appointed you overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God.—Acts 20:28. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/8/10 It is important that we show appreciation for God’s arrangement for shepherding his flock. Christian elders are a provision from Jehovah, who always acts in our best interests. The elders are “like a hiding place from the wind, a place of concealment from the rainstorm, like streams of water in a waterless land, like the shadow of a massive crag in a parched land.” (Isa. 32:1, 2) How we appreciate a shelter from a strong wind or from a chilling rainstorm! When the hot sun is beating down on us, we are grateful for the shade prov…

15 Despite a Christian upbringing, however, some children later leave the truth or are disfellowshipped, causing the family heartache. “When my brother was disfellowshipped,” said a Christian sister in South Africa, “it was as if he had died. It was heartbreaking!” How did she and her parents respond? 14. What must parents do if they want to be truly effective in molding their children? 15, 16. How should parents demonstrate their trust in God if their child is disfellowshipped? They followed the direction found in God’s Word. (Read 1 Corinthians 5:11, 13.) “We resolved to apply the Bible,” said the parents, “recognizing that doing things G…

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those too I must bring in, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.—John 10:16. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2016/8/9 Today, “a great crowd” of Jesus’ “other sheep” give their loyal support to anointed Christians, who make up “the Israel of God.” (Rev. 7:9, 10; Gal. 6:16) The great crowd also share the God-given name Jehovah’s Witnesses. During the Thousand Year Reign of Christ, the great crowd will have the unspeakable joy of explaining to resurrected ones what it was like to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses during the last days of this system of things. But our doing thi…

Police are appealing for information following an aggravated burglary in Southampton. Between 12.30pm and 1.05pm on Sunday, August 7, two men knocked on the door of an address on Caerleon Drive, Bitterne. A woman opened the door to them and they told her they were Jehovah's Witnesses. One of the men then put a cloth over the woman’s mouth at the front door, forcing her to pass out. They then entered the house and stole a quantity of high value gold jewellery. When the woman came round, the men had gone. The woman received medical attention but did not suffer any ongoing symptoms. I am appealing for anyone with information about this incident to come fo…
