How long will you sit on the fence?—1 Ki. 18:21, “New English Bible.”

In modern times, anointed Christians have done a work like that of Elijah. By word of mouth and by the printed page, they have warned people of all nations inside and outside of Christendom about the danger of false religion. As a result, millions have taken decisive action to end their membership in false religion. They have dedicated their lives to Jehovah and have become baptized disciples of Jesus Christ. Other millions, while attracted to the Bible-based message spread by Jehovah’s Witnesses, are still unsure about what they should do. Some of these occasionally come to Christian meetings. Instead of delaying, they need to take decisive action now and zealously work toward the goal of becoming dedicated, baptized worshippers of Jehovah. Their prospects for everlasting life are at stake!—2 Thess. 1:6-9. w 12/15/05 10, 11a

In our NWT: "Then E·li′jah approached all the people and said: “How long will YOU be limping upon two different opinions? If Jehovah is the [true] God, go following him; but if Ba′al is, go following him"

It's a beautiful day, good morning to all.

Speaking to others about Jehovah's Kingdom whenever we have the opportunity is of utmost importance. I know we all are thankful we took steps to show Jehovah we do not SIT ON THE FENCE with our legs dangling on the sides taking it easy. I know, regardless of anything we have had to go through (and continue to go through) we are happy we had the privilege of hearing this GOOD NEWS, LISTENING TO JEHOVAH'S VOICE, RESPONDING TO IT AND TAKING ACTION SHOWING DEEP LOVE, FAITH AND RESPECT FOR WHAT JEHOVAH AND JESUS HAVE DONE FOR MANKIND.

I agree, it certainly is not easy under present circumstances, but with complete trust in Jehovah we can do it. TRUST IN JEHOVAH OKEY DOKEY AND HOLD ON AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN ALWAYS. Our Father would not give us an assignment that we could not handle.

So regardless of what is going on around us, let us do our part in helping people NOT TO SIT ON THE FENCE. Matthew 24:14, 28:19 & 20.

I find this especially applicable today, when most of our world leaders are indeed following Ba'al, evidently believing that he is the true god. It seems they don't pay much attention to the Scriptures. Ba'al doesn't exactly have a good track record against Jehovah in head-to-head competition.

Hoping everyone has a wonderful Sunday.
