Excellent study!


Jehovah is a God of fine works, and he is zealous in getting them accomplished. Everything he does is for the good of those serving him. Jesus set a fine example in imitating his Father’s zeal. On one occasion, zeal for Jehovah’s house motivated him to rid the temple of those who were turning it into a house of merchandise. (John 2:14-17) We too must demonstrate zeal in our service to Jehovah God if we want to be identified as a people "zealous for fine works."—Titus 2:14.


The fine works of Christians benefit others. The most beneficial thing we can do for another person is to help him to know and serve Jehovah. (John 17:3)

We extend such help through our zealous Kingdom-preaching and disciple-making work.

This was a good one. Not a lot to roll one's eyes or shake one's head about. Some practical counsel. Good encouragement regarding learning languages. Good encouragement for young people, though I've been viewing the discouragement of higher education differently than the WTS for decades.

Overall, this one gets a B+ :D

Dear SOJ,

I totally agree with you!

So many people are out there, just looking forward to knowing how powerful but loving too is our dear God! The sacrifice of our lips is as vital now as it was when Jesus gave us (his disciples, I mean) that command nearly 2 000 years ago. Thanks for your zealous comment. I appreciated it!

Dear TheMdC, I have the same opinion as you about higher education! If I never went to the university, I wouldn't be able to post messages here.... and I would never have been able to read Robert's essays and commentaries....

Toooooo bad indeed!!

The organization's leaders would say that was a good thing.

To them ignorance among it's members is bliss to them :suspicious:
