Bible Speaks reacted to Queen Esther in A Very Emotional Baptism
The Moment, when Sister Esther manages to enter the pool, because she suffered brain damage that prevents her from moving with ease. Their baptism was very emotional since they stood to say "Yes !" To Jehovah, she was so moved, that she did not stop crying ! And we also cry for joy !!

Bible Speaks got a reaction from Queen Esther in Trust in Jehovah With All Your Heart
Trust in Jehovah With All Your Heart
“Those knowing your name will trust in you.”—PSALM 9:10.
Why should we trust in Jehovah? Jehovah’s works of creation, including the universe, with its billions of galaxies.
The immense physical forces that Jehovah controls demonstrate that he is, indeed, the Almighty.
As we contemplate the marvels of creation, we have to agree with Job, who said of Jehovah: “Who can resist him? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’” (Job 9:12)
In truth, if Jehovah is on our side, we need fear no one in the whole universe.—Romans 8:31.
The ransom is another reason to trust in Jehovah. (Matthew 20:28)
How wonderful it is that God sent his own Son to die as a ransom for us! And the ransom is truly powerful. It covers the sins of all mankind who repent and turn to Jehovah with an honest heart. (John 3:16; Hebrews 6:10; 1 John 4:16, 19)
A part of the process of paying the ransom was the resurrection of Jesus. That miracle, attested to by hundreds of eyewitnesses, is a further reason to trust in Jehovah. It is a guarantee that our hopes will not end in disappointment.—Acts 17:31; Romans 5:5; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8.

Bible Speaks got a reaction from Elisabeth Dolewka in Jehovah by His Power Stirs Up the Sea ?
“By his power he has stirred up the sea, and by his understanding he has broken the stormer to pieces.” (Job 9:8; 26:12)
Indeed, “above the sounds of vast waters, the majestic breaking waves of the sea, Jehovah is majestic in the height.”—Psalm 93:4.
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. (Ecc. 11:5) NIV

Bible Speaks got a reaction from Sharon Jones-Johnson in Produce Fruits that Befit Repentance
Repentance is a change of mind, that leads to a change of heart, that leads to a change of actions. The change involves a turning from
sin and a turning to God.
8 "Therefore, produce fruit that befits repentance." (Matthew 3:8)

Bible Speaks got a reaction from The Librarian in Christmas ? Trees a Delusion?
The Bible says: "Do not learn the way of the nations. . .For the customs of the peoples are a delusion. It is just a tree of the forest that is cut down. . .They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails so that it will not fall over." (Jeremiah 10:2-4) The Encyclopædia Britannica states regarding the Christmas tree: “Tree worship was common among the pagan Europeans and survived their conversion to Christianity.” It was done in various rites and customs, including “the custom . . . of placing a Yuletree at an entrance or inside the house during the midwinter holidays.” Too, the early Romans marked the winter solstice with a feast called the Saturnalia in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture. The Romans knew that the solstice meant that soon farms and orchards would be green and fruitful. To mark the occasion, they decorated their homes and temples with evergreen boughs. Also, the Vikings in Scandinavia thought that evergreens were the special plant of their sun god, Balder. Today, the Christmas tree is recognized all over the world, and the demand for countless millions of natural and artificial Christmas trees seems endless. Meanwhile, Scandinavian rock carvings provide silent testimony, literally set in stone, that the Christmas tree is not of Christian origin. This is evident in Bohuslän Province on the west coast of Sweden and in a nearby province in Norway. In those areas, more than 75,000 individual rock carvings have been found at some 5,000 different sites. Archaeologists say that many of these rock carvings were made between about 1,800 and 500 B.C.E. The book Rock Carvings in the Borderlands, published in cooperation with the Swedish National Heritage Board, says: “The images of trees in rock carvings illustrate that as early as the Bronze Age the southern Scandinavian region was part of a larger religious and cultural context that covered the whole of Europe and large parts of Asia. Religion and cosmology were adapted to people whose livelihoods were farming and animal husbandry. They largely worshipped the same gods, although the names of the gods varied.”

Bible Speaks reacted to Queen Esther in Alexei Koptev and his wife at the gates of the courthouse in Russia
RUSSIA...
This is our brother Alexei Koptev and his wife, at the gates of the court that judges him by EXTREMISM when declaring JEHOVAH'S WITNESS.
He faces 6 years in prison.
The INDEPENDENT newspaper of Great Britain exposes the injustice being done with Jehovah's Witnesses in Putin's Russia. Currently a Jehovah's Witness has the same legal value in Russia as an ISIS jihadist. The brother's wife says, "Let's continue to preach, it's our FAITH."
PRIVATE NOTE: We are going to promote a collection of signatures to request that the persecution against ours in Russia cease.

Bible Speaks got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in Death Will Be No More! No Pain, No Sorrow!
4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
(Revelation 21:4)
“Death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4)
What has caused more unwanted tears than the enemy death? Jehovah will release obedient humans from the grip of death.
How? By eliminating the real cause of death: sin inherited from Adam. (Romans 5:12)
Jehovah will lift obedient humans to perfection on the basis of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.* Then the last enemy, death, will be “brought to nothing.” (1 Corinthians 15:26)
Faithful humans will be able to live as God purposed for them to live—forever in perfect health.
“Neither will . . . pain be anymore.” (Revelation 21:4)
What kind of pain will be no more? All the mental, emotional, and physical pain that has resulted from sin and imperfection and made life miserable for countless millions will be no more.
A life without tears, death, and pain will soon be a reality. ‘But where?’ you may ask. ‘Is God’s promise perhaps about life in heaven?’ No. Consider why not. First, the promise is introduced with the words “the tent of God is with mankind,” and mankind lives on earth. (Revelation 21:3) Second, the promise describes a world where “death will be nomore”—a world where deathonce existed but will cease to exist. Death has never existed in heaven, but it has had a long existence here on earth. Clearly, then, God’s promise of a better life will be fulfilled right here on earth.
God will dry up the rivers of tears that have flowed because of suffering and sorrow
Jehovah wants us to believe his promise of a righteous new world. Right after describing the blessings to come, he guarantees his promise, saying: “Look! I am making all things new.” Then he adds: “These words are faithful and true.” (Revelation 21:5)
Why not learn more about how you and your loved ones can be among the happy worshippers who will see God’s promise become a glorious reality?

1 Peter 1-5; 2 Peter 1-3; 1 John 1-5; 2 John 1-13; 3 John 1-14; Jude 1-25–Revelation 1-22

Bible Speaks got a reaction from Blanchie DeGrate in Let the Power of Christ Remain Like a Tent Over You!
"But he said to me: “My undeserved kindness is sufficient for you, for my power is being made perfect in weakness.”
Most gladly, then, I will boast about my weaknesses, in order that the power of the Christ may remain over me like a tent." (2Cor.12:9)
