Life is not like it was 10, 20, 30 years ago. 1 Timothy 3 mentions "no natural affection." Sadly cultures that cared more for their families are "too busy" or "working to make money" and forgetting a family they should be caring for. Downfall of society everywhere and getting worse. ???????

@ARchiv@L Are you ok? We must stay away from violent ones.

Scary one eye? ?

"All those who sinned under law will be judged by law." (Rom. 2:12) ⚖️⚖️⚖️ “Quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2) ⚖️⚖️⚖️ Instead of allowing the spirit of the world to shape their thinking, they needed to make their minds over to Christ’s way of thinking. (1 Corinthians 2:16; Philippians 2:5) That principle should influence the day-to-day behavior of all genuine Christians, including us today. ⚖️⚖️⚖️ Consequently, a heart filled with gratitude moves us to serve God with all our strength, means, and abilities. That heartfelt desire also moves us to do our utmost to think, not like the world, but like Christ. And having the mind of Christ affects how we treat others—both fellow believers and nonbelievers. (Galatians 5:25) ⚖️⚖️⚖️ A case in point: If we think like Christ, we are compelled to resist the urge to retaliate.—1 Peter 2:21-23. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2007484?q=rom+12%3A2&p=par

"The law of that spirit which gives life . . . has set you free." (Rom. 8:2) ??? Paul asked who would rescue him from this struggle, and then he said: “Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24, 25) Then, Paul spoke to anointed Christians, the ones who are “in union with Christ Jesus.” ??? Jehovah adopts them as sons through his holy spirit. He makes them “joint heirs with Christ.” (Romans 8:14-17) God’s holy spirit and the faith they have in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus help them to win the fight that Paul talked about. So God no longer condemns them for their imperfection. They are set free “from the law of sin and of death.” ??? Why should all of God’s servants want to understand Paul’s words? ??? Even though Paul was talking to anointed Christians, what he said about God’s holy spirit and the ransom sacrifice of Jesus can benefit all of Jehovah’s servants, whether they have the hope to live in heaven or to live on earth. Even though the counsel Paul gave was inspired by God, it is important that all of God’s servants understand and obey what he wrote. ??? https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402011842?q=rom+8%3A2&p=par

"Let both grow together until the harvest." ???? (Matt. 13:30) “The Righteous Ones Will Shine as Brightly as the Sun” “At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”—MATT. 13:43. ???? JESUS CHRIST used many illustrations, or parables, to explain different aspects of the Kingdom. He “spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them.” (Matt. 13:34) ???? In illustrations about sowing the seed of Kingdom truth, Jesus emphasized the role of a person’s heart condition in accepting the message, as well as the role that Jehovah plays in causing spiritual growth. (Mark 4:3-9, 26-29) Jesus also illustrated the outstanding growth of Kingdom interests here on earth even if that growth is not always at first discernible. (Matt. 13:31-33) Additionally, he highlighted that not all who respond to the Kingdom message are necessarily suitable subjects of that Kingdom.—Matt. 13:47-50. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010201?q=matt+13%3A30&p=par

"Preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and art of teaching." ??? (2 Tim. 4:2)

"O Lord, I am conscious that a man’s way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps." (Jer. 10:23) “The Bible in Basic English.”

Comfort for the Brokenhearted ?❤️? This compassionate God promises: “I reside . . . with the one crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones and to revive the heart of the ones being crushed.” (Isaiah 57:15) ?❤️? “Jehovah is near.” One reference work says that this phrase is “an expressive way of saying that the Lord is attentive and watchful, always ready to help and to save his people.” It is reassuring to know that Jehovah watches over his people. He sees what they are going through in these “critical times,” and he knows their innermost feelings. (2 Timothy 3:1; Acts 17:27) ?❤️? “Those that are broken at heart.” In some cultures, “a broken heart” has reference to unrequited love. But the psalmist’s words refer to “more general grief and sorrow,” says one scholar. Yes, even faithful worshippers of God may at times experience extreme hardships that break their heart. ?❤️? “Those who are crushed in spirit.” Discouraged ones may become so low in their own eyes that they momentarily lose all hope. A handbook for Bible translators says that this expression may be rendered “those who have nothing good to look forward to.” ?❤️? How does Jehovah respond to those who are “broken at heart” and “crushed in spirit”? Does he keep distant from them, feeling that they are unworthy of his love and attention? ?❤️? On the contrary! Like a loving parent who holds and comforts a child in distress, Jehovah is near to his worshippers who cry out to him for help. He is eager to comfort and soothe their broken heart and crushed spirit. He can give them the wisdom and strength needed to cope with any trials they may face. (2 Corinthians 4:7; James 1:5) www.jw.org

@SHARON LEE MOYER I'm sure we will not believe "our eyes" ? Soon we will see! Keep your faith strong! “Stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”—LUKE 21:28. ???⚔️???

@SHARON LEE MOYER In this world of stress and tension we all have so much to deal with. At times we feel unloved or tragedy affects everyone of us in a different way. So comfort for the Scriptures is always important for each of us and always to help and encourage others as we go through these last days. Thank you so much for your thoughts and your care may Jehovah be with you. ? ????? ?

ZEPHANIAH 1:14,15 say:The great day of Jehovah is near!It is near and it is approaching very quickly! The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter.There a warrior cries out. That day is a day of fury. A day of distress and anguish, A day of storm and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick gloom. So, since all this things will happen this way; WHAT SHOULD WE DO? Chapter 2:3 answer: "Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth,...... Seek righteousness, seek meekness.Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah's anger." Since we want to enter into God's new world: May we continue to trust in Jehovah and do what is good. By seeking his righteousness, seeking his meekness. So that he may let us to enter that new world were sickness, outcry, pain, and dead will be no more! Thank you!Please, you can also read the Bible online at WWW.JW.ORG.In the photo, me and sister Che Che.From your fellow friend of Jehovah, Brother Kingsley.

"The days of distress [will] come and the years [will] arrive when you will say: “I have no pleasure in them.” "—Eccl. 12:1.

This is the moment an ISIS extremist uses a sledgehammer to destroy ancient Syriantreasures. Footage shows a fanatic crushing artefacts found west of Abu Kamal in the Deir Ezzor province of Syria, close to the country's border with Iraq. The jihadist rants that the items are being destroyed because they were 'created by Satan and worshipped instead of Allah.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh well! Soon judgment is God's not man's.

EARTHQUAKES ????? Jesus prophesied: “There will be great earthquakes.” (Luke 21:11) Many powerful earthquakes are now expected every year. Since the year 1900, over two million people have died because of earthquakes. And although technology has helped to detect earthquakes earlier than before, many people still die. ? The Bible foretold that during the last days, the world would be full of pain and suffering. But the Bible also says that good things will happen. ? Do you believe that we are living in the last days? Many Bible prophecies about the last days are coming true. Soon Jehovah will decide to stop the preaching of the good news and “the end” will come. (Matthew 24:14) ? What is the end? It is Armageddon, when God will remove all wickedness. Jehovah will use Jesus and his powerful angels to destroy anyone who refuses to obey Him and his Son. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) After that, Satan and his demons will not mislead people. And all those who want to obey God and accept his Kingdom will see every promise of God come true.—Revelation 20:1-3; 21:3-5. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/sysl/r1/lp-e?url=/en/wol/sydp/r1/lp-e/{rsconf}/{library}/r1/lp-e/1102015149/null

"Jehovah’s day of judgment is near." (1:1–2:3) READ ⚡️?⚡️ Jehovah will finish everything off the surface of the ground. All in Judah and Jerusalem who practice idolatry, who swear to Jehovah as well as by a false god, who draw back from serving Jehovah, or who have not sought him will be cut off ⚡️?⚡️ Princes, violent ones, deceivers, will be among those sought out for attention; all who feel that Jehovah will not act for good or for bad will see their wealth and property come to nothing ⚡️?⚡️ Jehovah’s day is coming, a day of fury; neither silver nor gold to provide escape. ⚡️?⚡️ Meek ones of the earth should seek Jehovah as well as meekness and righteousness; then, probably, they will be concealed in the day of his anger.

We all at one time conducted ourselves in harmony with the desires of our flesh, doing the things willed by the flesh and the thoughts, and we were naturally children of wrath even as the rest. — Eph. 2:3. ??? Turning away from bad begins in the mind. (Rom. 8:5) How, then, can you strengthen your resolve to reject bad thoughts? ??? Consider these five ways: 1. Seek God’s help through prayer. (Matt. 6:9, 13) 2. Meditate on Bible examples of those who failed to listen to Jehovah and those who listened. Then note how things turned out for them. (1 Cor. 10: 8-11) 3. Reflect on the mental and emotional harm that sin can cause to you and to your loved ones. 4. Think how God must feel when one of his servants falls into gross sin. (Ps. 78:40, 41) 5. Imagine the joy that fills Jehovah’s heart when he sees a loyal worshipper reject bad and do what is right, whether in public or in private. (Ps. 15:1, 2; Prov. 27:11) ??? You too can show you trust in Jehovah.

What type of Government or King do you want to Rule over you? ~ One for Justice? ~ One Forever by means of Righteous? ~ Only One Government left ~ Learn how to be part of that Government today! ~ ??⚖️?⚔️? 6 “The rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6,7) 7 "To the increase of his rulership And to peace, there will be no end, On the throne of David and on his kingdom, In order to establish it firmly and to sustain it, Through justice and righteousness, From now on and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this." ??⚖️?⚔️? A Sure Foundation for Hope Jesus Christ told his followers: “You must pray . . . this way: ‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.’” (Matthew 6:9, 10) That heavenly Kingdom—a government in the hands of Jesus Christ—is God’s means of expressing His rightful sovereignty over the earth.—Psalm 2:7-12; Daniel 7:13, 14 ??⚖️?⚔️? The many facets of fear that affect every aspect of life today are a clear indication that divine intervention is needed. Happily, that intervention is near! Now enthroned by God as Messianic King, Jesus Christ is entrusted with authority to vindicate Jehovah’s sovereignty and sanctify His name. (Matthew 28:18) ??⚖️?⚔️? Soon, Kingdom rule will be directed to the earth to do away with all causes of fear and anxiety. Isaiah 9:6 cites credentials that show Jesus to be a worthy Ruler who can relieve us of our fears. For instance, he is called “Eternal Father,” “Wonderful Counselor,” and “Prince of Peace.” ??⚖️?⚔️? Consider the endearing expression “Eternal Father.” As such, Jesus has the power and authority—as well as the desire—to give obedient humans the prospect of eternal life on earth by the merit of his ransom sacrifice. This means that they will finally be released from sin and imperfection inherited from the sinful first man, Adam. (Matthew 20:28; Romans 5:12; 6:23) Christ will also apply his God-given authority to bring back to life many who have died.—John 11:25, 26 ??⚖️?⚔️? When on earth, Jesus proved to be the “Wonderful Counselor.” Because of his knowledge of God’s Word and his extraordinary understanding of human nature, Jesus knew how to solve the problems of daily life. Since his enthronement in heaven, Christ continues to be the “Wonderful Counselor,” serving as the principal figure in Jehovah’s channel of communication to mankind. Jesus’ counsel, recorded in the Bible, is always wise and flawless. Knowing and believing this can lead you to a life free of uncertainty and paralyzing fear. ??⚖️?⚔️? Isaiah 9:6 also identifies Jesus as the “Prince of Peace.” In that capacity, Christ will soon use his power to remove all inequality—political, social, and economic. How? By bringing mankind under the one peaceful rule of the Messianic Kingdom.—Daniel 2:44 ??⚖️?⚔️? Under Kingdom rule, lasting peace will prevail earth wide. Why can you be sure of this? The reason is revealed at Isaiah 11:9, where we read: “They [the Kingdom’s subjects] will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.” ??⚖️?⚔️? Eventually, every human on earth will have accurate knowledge of God and will be obedient to him. Does that prospect warm your heart? If it does, do not delay in taking in the precious “knowledge of Jehovah.” Learn more at: ww.jw.org OR Ask for a Bible study free of charge. https://www.jw.org/en/free-bible-study/
