Should i delay my post by 1x day?

Definitely not, my brother. Just post whenever you feel like it. We'll just get used to it, somehow or other. 

So don't let the time difference hinder your need to encourage us all. 

Thanks for your solid support. What will we do without you. 😁

Live in the moment. Don't let it pass us by.

Be in subjection to the older men. . . . Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones.—1 Pet. 5:5.

 

Obey elders humbly

 

Submissiveness* avoids problems

 

 

*The words submit and submission have a negative meaning for those who are forced to obey someone. However, God’s people choose to obey him, so they do not view the concept of submission in a negative way.(w19 September page 14)

All those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.—2 Tim. 3:12.

 

On the night before our Lord Jesus was put to death, he said that all who choose to be his disciples will be hated.

 

Up until now, faithful Christian Witnesses of Jehovah have been persecuted by those who oppose true worship. As the end of this system of things draws closer, we expect our enemies to oppose us even more. 

 

How can we prepare ourselves now to face persecution?

 

We do not need to imagine all the things that could happen to us. If we did, we could be overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. We could allow imagined threats to defeat us even before any real test comes. 

 

Fear is a powerful weapon that our “adversary, the Devil,” tries to use against us.  It is vital, then, that we strengthen our bond with Jehovah and do it now

Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations.—Matt. 28:19.

 

The apostles must have been full of anticipation as they gathered on a mountainside. Jesus had, after his resurrection, arranged for them to meet him at that location.  That was perhaps the occasion when “he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time.” 

 

Why had Jesus called his disciples to this meeting? To give them an exciting mission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations.”  The disciples who heard Jesus’ words became part of the first-century Christian congregation. The primary mission of that congregation was to make more disciples of Christ. Today, there are tens of thousands of true Christian congregations throughout the earth, and the primary mission of those congregations remains the same.

The earth remains forever.

 

A traveling overseer in Norway says that people who are not inclined to talk about God are often willing to talk about world conditions.

 

After greeting people, he says: “What do you think about our prospects for a better future? Does our best hope lie with politicians, scientists, or someone else?” After listening carefully, he reads or quotes a scripture that points to a bright future.

 

Some are intrigued by the Bible’s promise that the earth will last forever and that good people will live on it eternally.

 

We do well to use a variety of approaches with those we meet. Why? Because what attracts one may repel another. Some do not mind discussing God or the Bible, while others respond better to a more indirect approach. In either case, we should take the opportunity to speak to all sorts of people.

 

Jehovah is the one who makes the truth grow in the hearts of those who are righteously inclined.

Can't see anything on my side. Even when I click on the two tiny boxes. What went wrong? I've been having the same problem on other posts. Especially the very old posts.

Sunday 

May 16 (EDT)

If this is how God loved us, then we are also under obligation to love one another.

 

God’s great love for us will move us to love our brothers.  

 

We might think that love for our brothers and sisters will come naturally. After all, we worship Jehovah and strive to imitate his fine qualities.

 

We follow the example of Jesus, whose love was so great that he gave his life in our behalf. Yet, we may at times find it difficult to obey the commandment to love one another.

 

Euodia and Syntyche were zealous sisters who had served “side by side” with the apostle Paul. Yet, they had perhaps allowed personal differences to cause a rift between them. In his letter to the congregation where those sisters served, Paul specifically named Euodia and Syntyche and gave them pointed admonition “to be of the same mind.”

 

Paul felt compelled to instruct the entire congregation: “Keep doing all things free from murmuring and arguments.”

I use an Android device. Maybe not all emoji platforms are equal or compatible across platforms...
One sister cannot read my name as it has embedded emojis symbols within the name. She was on an old XP PC...
Maybe update everything? Lol
