    Friday, January 23 When you make gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you.—Matt. 6:2. After Jesus returned to heaven, the apostle Peter performed a miracle by healing a man who was lame from birth. (Acts 1:8, 9; 3:2, 6-8) Naturally, this amazing event drew a crowd of people. (Acts 3:11) Would Peter bask in the glory of the moment, given that he had come from a background where prominence and position were greatly emphasized? No, Peter humbly directed praise away from himself and gave the rightful credit to Jehovah and Jesus, saying: “Through [Jesus’] name, and by our faith in his name, this man whom you see and know has been made strong.” (Acts 3:12-16) We can follow Peter’s example in cultivating humility. We perform tasks for others because we love Jehovah and we love people, not because we love to be admired. If we happily serve Jehovah and our brothers in any way we can, regardless of whether our efforts are noticed, we give evidence of being humble.—Matt. 6:1-4. w25.0310-11 ¶11-12

    Indeed! And the UN Security Council, plus 4 of the current non-permanent nations, will need to AGREE on who will be the next Secretary-General to begin January 1, 2027. It's a wild year for the UN !!!!

    NEW: Secrets of the Human Body, Episode 3 - How to Build a Baby From the website: "Consider whether the remarkable coherence of birth and human development is better explained by chance or by intention. In this episode of Secrets of the Human Body, join medical doctor Howard Glicksman and systems engineer Steve Laufmann as they investigate the intricate systems required to build a human baby. Human development requires extraordinary coordination, timing, and information from the very start. Cell differentiation and organ formation depend on plans and signals that are still poorly understood. The placenta and fetal circulatory system demonstrate precise, just-in-time biological engineering. Many foundational problems of life must be solved before evolutionary mechanisms can operate. A design-based framework offers an alternative way to interpret biological coherence and complexity. It’s an amazing story you won’t want to miss. Be sure to share it with your family and friends!"

    Here in Brazil, many people have abandoned the Christian religion to follow “Christian influencers” on TikTok. These influencers teach that people do not need to go to church, because true Christians understand that God is not worshipped in a so-called “church building” or a “temple.” They say you can have fellowship with Jesus wherever you are today. As the Bible says: “God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) In this sense, the waters around Great Babylon will dry up. People will abandon temples and churches and will follow Christian influencers instead.

    The Scriptures tell us to show respect for governments because they are permitted instruments for maintaining order, not because they are righteous or lasting. (Romans 13:1; 1 Peter 2:13, 14) Jehovah’s organization has consistently taught us not to analyze political parties or weigh in on whether one side is doing better or worse than another. We do not point fingers at Republicans or Democrats, left or right. Instead, we speak about the limits of all human governments by comparing them to God’s Kingdom—the only arrangement that can truly bring justice, peace, and relief. (Daniel 2:44; Psalm 146:3) That restraint is not silence born of fear, nor approval by default. It is neutrality—respectful, deliberate, and anchored in the understanding that no human system deserves our confidence or our commentary beyond what the Scriptures already say.

    And even a lot of republican jesus-worshippers don’t go to church as they don’t believe in organized religion. They’d rather watch “Christian influencers” on tik tok
  16. Barbllm
    Yes, it is, but the point remains: evangelical Christianity in the US is coming under further scrutiny based on its involvement in politics and the politicians who claim to be Christian and yet act in a way that is diametrically opposed to Christ's teachings.

    Hubble uncovers the secret of stars that defy ageing 21 January 2026 Hubble uncovers the secret of stars that defy ageing. Some stars appear to defy time itself. Nestled within ancient star clusters, they shine bluer and brighter than their neighbours, looking far younger than their true age. Known as blue straggler stars, these stellar oddities have puzzled astronomers for more than 70 years. Now, new results using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope are finally revealing how these “forever young” stars come to be and why they thrive in quieter cosmic neighbourhoods. Full Article link: https://esahubble.org/images/heic2602a/ Pic Description: A side-by-side visual of two globular clusters: NGC 3201 (left) and Messier 70 (right). The star cluster on the right is visibly compact in shape, as the stars near the centre of the object appear very close together. Contrastingly, the star cluster on the left is less compact, as the stars are more spread apart from one another in the field. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA

    And? The assessment is pretty accurate. People have been more and more turned off by religion and the hypocritical way the Republican party members wrap themselves in God only drives that wedge deeper.

    I like smoked salmon too but it is for between meal treat. Smoked salmon is dangerous to give to our small poodles because of SPD from Neorickettsia helminthoeca that's not killed by smoking.

      Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      A little boy wants to make his father happy. He wants to buy him a gift, but he doesn’t have any money. So he turns to his father and asks him for a few coins. Now he has money, but the gift he wants to get is in a store, and the store is in town. Again, he needs the help of his father. Once in the store, he finds that the gift is way up on the shelf. The father has to lift him up. Same thing at the register. Having returned back home, the son, beaming and proud, hands the father his gift.

      A sweet little story but strictly speaking one could argue that the father himself was the generous giver here. In the end, he had to accompany and help his son at every step of the way, and he was even the one paying for it all. 

      If, however, the father had done everything himself, the outcome wouldn’t have been the same. In the way that it happened, the father, in fact, made it possible for the son to be something he could not have become on his own: a gift-giver.

      This story illustrates how God relates to us. God does not need man, but God allows man to share in his saving work. Man is given the grace to take part in God’s work, and this actually shows the true greatness of God. Man is not kept in a completely inactive dependency, but rather he is equipped with the power to do good.
      And this is exactly the reason there is a congregation. God does not need the congregation, but he wants the congregation so that through her we can become active sharers in the divine work of salvation. 
      In this way, man, who through sin causes so much woe and pain in the world, is now enabled and empowered to bring healing and share in God’s redemptive work. Fallen man, in a way, is rehabilitated in the congregation. He can live as a new creation.

      So God doesn’t need the congregation, but we need the congregation, and that is exactly why she was given to us as a means to salvation!

      Hi Alter, welcome to JWTalk!
      It’s nice to have you here. I see you’re from the Lake Chapala area—beautiful place, and I imagine the scenery and weather don’t disappoint.
      You’ll find this is a friendly, encouraging forum. Many enjoy browsing the ongoing discussions or spending some quiet time in the photo gallery when they feel like reading rather than posting.
      One small note that may help: since the forum works in English, most brothers use translation software when posting. That usually makes things smoother and helps everyone follow along easily.
      Thanks for joining us, and we’re glad you’re here. Looking forward to getting to know you and seeing what you’d like to share.
