Something More Lasting Than Art

I cannot express how thankful I am for this article. For six years I managed two successful portrait studios. I love my job and the creative outlet it provided. I came to realize,though,that as my success and reputation to work grew,my service to Jehovah seem to shrink. I was pouring so much of myself into my art that it left little time for anything else. I knew something needed to change. So I left my job and became more involve in my worship. The feeling of fulfillment and joy I got from creating beautiful portraits simply does not compare with the joy I receive in the Christian ministry

Helping Youths Meet The Challenge

As an 18 -year-old,I was able to relate to many of the points made regarding cell-phone and Internet usage. I engage in meeting strangers online in social networks. I soon fell into the trap that those bad associates helped to set. My spiritually began to weaken almost immediately. I even agreed to meet several of the individual s in person. Tragically, this led to immoral conduct. I pray that this article will help others to avoid the pain and anguish that I live with. The sleepless nights and recurring images make each day difficult,but I am taking a firm stand against Satan.

Why Do I Faint?

It was encouraging to learn that I am not the only one suffering from fainting. This article made me feel as if Jehovah were speaking directly to me, telling me,"I see what is happening to you, so here I'm giving you some encouragement."
