    You have been saved through faith.—Eph. 2:8.
    http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/12
    Faith enables us to do things that from a human standpoint may seem impossible. (Matt. 21:21, 22) For instance, many of us have changed our attitudes and practices so drastically that we are almost unrecognizable to those who knew us before. Jehovah supported our efforts because we took these steps based on our faith in him. (Col. 3:5-10) Once our faith moved us to dedicate ourselves to Jehovah, we became his friends, something we could never have done in our own power. Our faith continues to empower us. In faith we are able to resist the attacks of our superhuman adversary, the Devil. (Eph. 6:16) In addition, trust in Jehovah helps us to minimize our anxiety during challenging times. Jehovah says that when our faith moves us to put Kingdom interests first, he will provide for our material needs. (Matt. 6:30-34) More than that, because of our faith, we will receive a gift no human could ever obtain by his own efforts—everlasting life.—John 3:16. w15 9/15 3:4, 5

    In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.—2 Tim. 3:1.
    http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/10
    The Bible indicates that wickedness will greatly increase “in the last days.” (2 Tim. 3:13; Matt. 24:21; Rev. 12:12) So we can expect that world conditions, bad as they are now, will continue to decline. But how bad do you expect conditions to become before “the great tribulation”? (Rev. 7:14) For example, do you expect that there will be a war in every country, no food on anyone’s table, and illness in every household? Under those conditions, even skeptics would likely feel compelled to admit that Bible prophecy was undergoing fulfillment. However, Jesus said that most people would take “no note” of his presence, carrying on with life’s normal activities until it is too late. (Matt. 24:37-39) Thus, the Scriptures indicate that world conditions during the last days would not become so extreme that people would be forced to believe that the end is near.—Luke 17:20; 2 Pet. 3:3, 4. w15 8/15 2:6, 7

    Revelation  2 :10
    . 10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. Look! The Devil will keep on throwing some of you into prison so that you may be fully put to the test, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Prove yourself faithful even to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

    Blanchie DeGrate reacted to Bible Speaks in Listen, Obey, Be Blessed! ? ? ?   
    SONG 89
    Listen, Obey, and Be Blessed
    (Luke 11:28)
    1. If we have listened to Christ, will we show it?
    His teaching shines as it shows us the way.
    It makes us happy to hear and to know it,
    But we’ll be blessed if we know and obey.
    (CHORUS)
    Listen, obey, and be blessed
    When you hear God’s will expressed.
    If you’d be happy and enter his rest,
    Listen, obey, and be blessed.
    2. Our way of life, like a house, gives protection
    When it is built on the rock, not on sand.
    If we apply Jesus’ loving direction,
    We’ll build a life which on bedrock will stand.
    (CHORUS)
    Listen, obey, and be blessed
    When you hear God’s will expressed.
    If you’d be happy and enter his rest,
    Listen, obey, and be blessed.
    3. Just as a tree rooted deep by the waters
    Gives of its fruit when each season arrives,
    If we obey as God’s own sons and daughters,
    We’ll all be blessed and enjoy endless lives.
    (CHORUS)
    Listen, obey, and be blessed
    When you hear God’s will expressed.
    If you’d be happy and enter his rest,
    Listen, obey, and be blessed.
    (See also Deut. 28:2; Ps. 1:3; Prov. 10:22; Matt. 7:24-27; Luke 6:47-49.)

    Blanchie DeGrate reacted to Bible Speaks in Do We Have the Mind of Jehovah and of Christ?   
    “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 Christ, we also want to harmonize our viewpoint with his. (Rom. 15:5) 
    What did Jesus put foremost in his life? He told the crowds from Capernaum: “I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.” (Luke 4: 43; John 18:37) 
    With Jesus’ zeal for his ministry in mind, evaluate your circumstances to see if you could further expand your ministry. (1 Cor. 11:1)

    This Is Our Place of Worship
    There is an appointed time for everything.—Eccl. 3:1.
    http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/2/9
    Our respect for the God who invites us to Christian meetings should be manifested in our decorum, dress, and grooming. Respect also requires that we avoid extremes. Jehovah wants his servants and other guests to feel comfortable at the Kingdom Hall. At the same time, those in attendance would not want to detract from the meetings by being overly casual in their dress, by texting or talking during the meetings, by eating and drinking, and so on. Parents should train their children to understand that the Kingdom Hall is not the place for running or playing. Filled with indignation, Jesus threw out of God’s temple those who were introducing commercial activities. (John 2:13-17) Our Kingdom Halls too are places for pure worship and spiritual education. So any business activities that have nothing to do with spiritual pursuits ought to be taken care of elsewhere.—Compare Nehemiah 13:7, 8. w15 7/15 4:7, 8
