Br. Luccioni - Pressing on to the Goal

[jwhess]

We started talking about this morning worship video in our thread on the December Broadcast.  But this is really a separate video and it is a good one (and deserves its own section.  I like Br. Luccioni's speaking style and his measured pace.  The subject was arranged so we can see several applications in our current situation.

 

He touched on disfellowshipping and the stresses of the pandemic.  He had good illustrations and a comforting view.

 

Which part did you like best?

Seeing the big picture. Leaving emotional issue with Jehovah- like trusting the paramedic.

[Br. Ice]

I learned a lot from Paul from this Morning Worship.

When dealing with discouragement > Try to focus on the positive things.

When dealing with pain of heart for those who left the truth > Weep if needed, but stay focused on your hope for the future.

When dealing with issues that could devide the congregation > Keep [Jesus'] mental attitude.

I appreciated part of those leaving the truth.

More and more of my family members become inactive, or outright leave the truth, one even started celebrating birthdays and taking pictures in front of Christmas tree.

We had to "severely cut our association: as those ones are inactive and will not be dealt through the congregation arrangement.

The pain in the heart is great. I was personally "attacked behind the scenes" for taking a stand on the issue, as some other family members felt that I just should let it go..

They said..so what that she celebrates birthdays...? She does not go to the KH for more than 7 years etc...

My wife is slightly depressed.   

Nevertheless we focus on the Kingdom hope and trusting Jehovah in all our ways.

@New World Explorer:  same

Loved this point:

Why question the direction today when we clearly have seen Jehovah’s and Jesus’ direction through the years.

Why question it now!

Stay the course people!

This talk was the answer to many prayers over a friend who just got reinstated last year.  I appreciated this talk and I listen it everyday.  Paul in prison bonds in a house for over a year!  Focus on the positive, the Kingdom.  It's really not that far off! 

And let the trained paramedics take over the sick person in the family.  Step back!

This scripture reminds me of you:
Psalm 112: 6:7 “He will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever. He will not fear bad news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Jehovah.”

Stay the course my Sister and please keep commenting- you are encouraging other’s too💜🌸🌺
