Do Not Let Your Love Grow Cold   ❣️❄️❣️❄️❣️
“Because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold.”—MATTHEW 24:12.
?????
Jesus’ words about love growing cold also apply to our day. People today have less and less love for God. Instead of looking to God to solve the problems in the world, millions of people look to human organizations. Their love continues to grow cold. Even the love of Jehovah’s servants could grow cold, as it did in the congregation in ancient Ephesus. So let us discuss three areas in which we must keep our love strong: (1) love for Jehovah, (2) love for Bible truth, and (3) love for our brothers.
?????
 On his last night on earth, Jesus said to his disciples: “I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.”—John 13:34, 35.
?????
Loving our brothers and sisters is connected to loving Jehovah. If we do not love God, we cannot love our brothers. And if we do not love our brothers, we cannot love God. The apostle John wrote: “The one who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” (1 John 4:20) Our love for Jehovah and our brothers is also connected to our love for the Bible. Why? Because if we love what we learn from the Bible, we will want to obey the commandments we find there to love God and our brothers.—1 Peter 1:22;1 John 4:21.

SOME EXPRESSIONS EXPLAINED
When our love for God grows cold, we lose our enthusiasm for the truth and our affection for our brothers. This may happen if we are influenced by the world around us and allow other things to become more important to us than our relationship with God https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402017405?q=matt+24%3A12&p=par   ?????
As Christians, we must work hard to grow in our love for God, for Bible truth, and for one another.                  True, we may at times have minor disagreements with fellow believers. However, what a blessing it is for all in the congregation when love motivates us to settle any differences in a loving manner! (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:14)
?????
So may we never allow our love to grow cold! Rather, may we continue to have intense love for Jehovah, his Word, and our brothers. ???

Thank you for sharing your story; so encouraging and beautiful.
 
 

Now they can't even get together for a picnic? 
What would happen if the police raided a Russian Orthodox picnic? I bet they wouldn't even dare.
Meanwhile the Russian mafia is absconding with the wealth of their entire nation.
Maybe the Russian police should start investigating an outbreak of jaywalking in Moscow. It threatens the nation!

Did Jehovah respond with an Earthquake?

The timing might be a little off though.

Photon TORPEDOES ... similar to missiles.

I have a hand-held green laser pistol that will put a spot on a wall in bright daylight, 200 feet away ... unfortunately the hand gun will only punch holes in a person sufficiently potent to drop them only out to about 90 feet.  I made it myself using standard parts, and cost about $800.
It also has a red dot targeting laser set for 75 feet because of the parallax problem between the laser emitter and the hole puncher, but is too weak to be seen in daylight most of the time.
I carry it all the time, it fits in my right-front front pants pocket.
I put it together with SHOE GOO, which you can buy at Wal-Mart.
 
 

How sad. It took the judges 20 minutes to decide the fate of 175,000 Russian citizens and freedom of worship. A picture of things to come? Only Jehovah knows for sure. Putin has already signed into law that the Russian supreme court does not have to consider the ECHR if in their opinion, it is not in Russia's best interest. We could go through the motions, but nothing would probably change. 

Russia Disfellowships All Jehovah's Witnesses Worldwide.
JW's are getting a taste of their own medicine.
==========================
If WatchTower was in charge of governing countries.
How much Freedom of Religion would there be?......ZERO...

"The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will bear no guilt because of the error of his father, and a father will bear no guilt because of the error of his son. The righteousness of the righteous one will be accounted to him alone, and the wickedness of the wicked one will be accounted to him alone." (Ezekiel 18:20)
