Setting the mind on the spirit means life and peace.—Rom. 8:6. This does not imply that a person needs to think and talk of nothing other than the Bible or his love for God and his hope for the future. Let us recall that Paul and others in the first century who pleased God were living rather normal lives in many respects. They consumed food and drink. Many married and enjoyed family life, working to support themselves. (Mark 6:3; 1 Thess. 2:9) However, those servants of God did not allow such normal aspects of life to become the center of their lives. After showing that Paul worked as a tentmaker, the record reveals what his life was centered on: He regularly gave attention to the Christian preaching and teaching work. (Acts 18:2-4; 20:20, 21, 34, 35) And those were the activities that he recommended to his brothers and sisters in Rome. Yes, Paul’s life centered on spiritual provisions and activities. The Romans needed to imitate him, and so do we.—Rom. 15:15, 16. w16.12 2:5, 15, 16 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/22

The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah, and He will repay him for what he does.—Prov. 19:17. We can be sure that Jehovah appreciates every effort that we make to serve him. He understands any insecurities or self-doubts that we may have. He shows us compassion if financial burdens weigh us down or our health or emotions tend to limit our sacred service. And we can have full confidence in JehovahÂ’s tender regard for what his servants do to stay faithful to him. (Heb. 6:10, 11) Bear in mind, too, that we can approach the “Hearer of prayer” with the confidence that he will give attention to our concerns. (Ps. 65:2) “The Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort” will unstintingly give us the emotional and spiritual support that we need, perhaps doing so by means of our fellow worshippers. (2 Cor. 1:3) It touches JehovahÂ’s heart when we show compassion toward others. (Matt. 6:3, 4) And he promises to reward that kindness. w16.12 4:13, 14 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/23

Seek the peace of the city to which I have exiled you.—Jer. 29:7. The Jewish exiles who submitted to the will of God lived a relatively normal life in Babylon. Their captors allowed them to administer their own affairs to some extent. The exiles even had freedom to move about the country. Babylon was a center of trade and commerce in the ancient world, and documents that have been unearthed indicate that many Jews learned the art of buying and selling there, while others became skilled craftsmen. Some Jews even became prosperous. Exile in Babylon was nothing like the slavery in Egypt that the Israelites had experienced centuries before. (Ex. 2:23-25) But would the Israelites ever again be able to worship God in a completely acceptable way? At the time, it seemed most unlikely that they would. Babylon never released its captives. Yet, Jehovah had promised that his people would be liberated, and so they were. GodÂ’s word of promise never fails.—Isa. 55:11. w16.11 4:3, 5 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/21

We died with reference to sin.—Rom. 6:2. Those Christians were still alive on earth, so how could that be said of them? God applied the ransom to Paul and others of his day. Thus Jehovah forgave their sins, anointed them with holy spirit, and called them to be his spiritual sons. Then they had the heavenly hope. If they proved faithful, they would live and rule with Christ in heaven. But Paul could speak of them while they were still alive and serving God on earth as having “died with reference to sin.” He used the example of Jesus, who died as a human and then was raised up as an immortal spirit in heaven. Death was no longer master over Jesus. It was similar with anointed Christians, who could consider themselves “dead with reference to sin but living with reference to God by Christ Jesus.” (Rom. 6:9, 11) Their way of life was not as it once was. They were no longer obeying the dictates or impulses of their sinful desires. They had died to that previous way of life. w16.12 1:9, 10 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/21

The congregations continued to be made firm in the faith.—Acts 16:5. Brothers traveling on behalf of the governing body shared “the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and the elders who were in Jerusalem.” (Acts 16:4) As congregations observed those decrees, they “continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number day by day.” What should we do when we receive direction from GodÂ’s organization today? JehovahÂ’s own Book directs all of us to be obedient and submissive. (Deut. 30:16; Heb. 13:7, 17) A critical or rebellious spirit has no place in GodÂ’s organization, for such an attitude could disrupt our loving, peaceful, and united congregations. Of course, no loyal Christian would want to display a disrespectful and disloyal spirit like that of Diotrephes. (3 John 9, 10) We might well ask ourselves: ‘Do I contribute to the spirituality of those around me? Am I quick to accept and support the direction given by the brothers taking the lead?Â’ w16.11 2:10, 11 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/19

They are born..... So many stars are born in the universe, And so small I feel before You! What glow is the dust of a verse, How much is Jehovah worth my life? How Jehovah is worth a star When galactics come out of your hand - Are you alive? Too Great God, what is my life? A moment from your eternal eternity! But your supreme gesture rages me, When for man You let him die, From your first universe Violin, The holy word for the first time! Everything you loved most, the first son, To taste death for everyone It is in spirit that man becomes alive And death to be ashamed! Your Jehovah's love barks me, And you give me power to overcome the fall, The pain worlds do not hurt, Taste Your Sweet Word Like Honey! ? .•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•. ?

From dawn to evening We are at the "harvest"! It's winter or summer It's asphalt or gravel! That it's cold or very hot, JAH makes us fears, Eyes in preaching burn, With Jehovah we are strong! The stress, all over the world, Can not stop the stunt! We preach in the "Dead Sea" And we have the wind from the back! Commitments, worries, and weaknesses, At Jehovah we put everything! By Jehovah we are good, By Jehovah you say, "I can!" IAH always gives us love, And proof of confidence! In "harvest" dedication, Tenders, provision! We are heading towards the end, The world is boiling! Jesus on the white horse, He asks for discernere, The signs have happened, The world ran out of dust, In an outdated system, We are in Jehovah's hand! The sun is in the dusk, For the world of Satan! Over the world of evil flows, Day by day and year after year! From dawn to night The "Good News" is famous! The fruits are all ripe, But the world has "otitis"! Her illness is heavy disease, Jesus the holy king, He does not see it and does not want it King over the whole Earth! Her serious, otitis disease, It destroyed the tympanum! Surprisingly she imitates, Satan, a dead head! "

If I have all the faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.—1 Cor. 13:2. Jesus emphasized the all-important quality of love for God when he answered the question: “Which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” (Matt. 22:35-40) Because of the importance of both faith and love, Christian Bible writers highlighted these qualities together multiple times, often in the same sentence or phrase. Paul urged his brothers to “put on the breastplate of faith and love.” (1 Thess. 5:8) John wrote: “This is [GodÂ’s] commandment: that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another.” (1 John 3:23) Although faith is essential, aspects of this quality will pass away when we see the fulfillment of GodÂ’s promises and experience the reality of our Christian hope. But the need to grow in love for God and for our neighbor will never cease. Thus, Paul could write: “Now, however, these three remain: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love.”—1 Cor. 13:13. w16.10 4:15-17 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/18

The Bible is a holy book, Jehovah's Word..... Want to have life part, In Paradise on Earth? Jehovah tells you clearly: Only the Word sanctifies you, And he gives life to his gift, Only to the one who loves me! You love dead traditions, "Babylon" being support Ignoring "My Holy Book, You have a "dead soul"! "Bunnies," "eggs," resurrection, Symbol of fertility, Jesus eternal does not ask, Symbol of futility! He said: "The supper dinner, It's my memory! " Dress up a "white coat" "And I will forgive you forever!" Rituals, baptism, drunkenness, It turns into profanity! The Bible is "living book" Do not be mistaken! Respecting Holy Scripture We respect God, And JAH of us endure, It includes us for His purpose! ?.•*¨`*•..¸???¸.•*¨`*•.?

He reads His law in an undertone day and night.—Ps. 1:2. To keep our faith strong, Jehovah has kindly provided us with his complete Word, the Bible. To be “happy” and to “succeed,” we must regularly read GodÂ’s Word, daily if possible. (Ps. 1:1-3; Acts 17:11) Then, like pre-Christian worshippers of Jehovah, we need to keep meditating on GodÂ’s promises and be obedient to his requirements. Jehovah has also blessed us with an abundant supply of spiritual food provided through “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matt. 24:45) Thus, by cherishing what we learn from the spiritual provisions that Jehovah has made available, we will be like the ancient examples of faith who had an “assured expectation” of their Kingdom hope. (Heb. 11:1) Prayer also played a vital part in keeping the faith of pre-Christian witnesses strong. Their faith was strengthened as they experienced GodÂ’s answers to their prayers.—Neh. 1:4, 11; Ps. 34:4, 15, 17; Dan. 9:19-21. w16.10 3:7, 8 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2018/7/17
