Can You Tame Your Beast? How You Can Effectively Control Your Tongue in 10 Easy Steps

Here's a riddle for you: throughout the history of humankind, people have been able to tame wolves, chimpanzees, tigers, lions, dolphins, killer whales, seals, and cobras. But there is one thing--one very small thing--each of us have that we have not been able to tame. Do you know what it is? If you guess, "the tongue," you are absolutely correct. How many times have you regretted saying something the instant you said it? How many times have your words hurt a friend or a family member without you meaning to?

Why Do We Suffer? Are You Suffering? Then You May Need to Rejoice!

Why do people have to suffer? Do some people simply have bad luck or is there a good reason why we suffer? Why do we all get sick, grow old, and die?

Are Your Prayers Being Answered by God? If Not, Do You Know Why Not?

Prayer is communication with Jehovah God Almighty; it is a two-way conversation. So when you pray to your Father in heaven, He will answer you according to His will. However, there are hindrances to prayers--things and behaviors that will prevent an answered prayer. Here, let us briefly go over some of these hindrances, so we can learn to eliminate them in our lives in order for our prayers to be answered next time.

Do You Want to Determine Your Future? Do You Know What True Love Is?

Once upon a time, Jehovah God Almighty created a paradise garden on the newly formed Earth, which became the home of Adam and Eve, the first two people who ever lived. God told them to be fruitful and multiply and be the masters over the Earth and all the living creatures of the skies, lands, and oceans. His purpose for His new creations was to fill the paradise with happy people who would walk in fellowship with their Heavenly Father. Adam and Eve had everything they could possibly ever dream of, all without labor, pain, or fear, for Jehovah supplied all abundantly.

Gift of Salvation: How Can You Accept and Keep It?

How do we get saved? What are required for us to receive salvation? Since salvation is a gift from Jehovah God Almighty through His Son, Jesus Christ, accepting this gift is easy, not tricky at all. We are saved the moment we 1) repent of anything bad we've ever done and 2) accept Jesus as Savior. Accepting Jesus as Savior means that we have accepted his teachings and diligently applied them to our lives. Simply believing in Jesus does not give us salvation.

Where Did Evil Come From? Why Is Evil Permitted on Earth?

Have you ever wondered where evil came from? Did Jehovah God Almighty create evil? No, of course not; Jehovah did not create evil itself; evil results only when His principles are not followed. Evil is simply the absence of goodness, just as darkness is the absence of light. Long before Jehovah created Earth and humankind, He created spirit beings known as angels who lived with Him in the spiritual realm where He calls home. He gave angels the freedom to make their own decisions, the same kind of free will He has given to us.
