Worship The True God
The Watchtower has unwittingly stood up for Jesus.
The Watchtower Nov 15, 2007 Paragraph 3 Approaching people and endeavoring to persuade them to worship the true God requires that we have deep love for Jehovah. The Israelites could prove their love for God by wholeheartedly obeying his commandments, offering acceptable sacrifices, and extolling him in song. (Deuteronomy 10: 12, 13; 30:19, 20; Psalm 21:13; 96:1, 2; 138:5) As disciple makers, we too keep God's laws, but we also express our love for Jehovah by telling others about him and his purposes. We need to speak with conviction, choosing the right words to express our heartfelt feelings about our God-given hope.-1 Thessalonians 1:5; 1 Peter 3:15.
From their own words the following can be deduced.
Worship The True God
- Deep Love
Ephesians 6:24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
- Obeying His Commandments
John 14:15 [Jesus] If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
- Offering Acceptable Sacrifices
Mark 10:29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake"
Mark 8:34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Romans 14:7 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
- Extolling Him In Song
Ephesians 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; 21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
- Telling Others About Him
Acts 1:8 [Jesus] "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

RYC: Truthfully I've never had pumpkin spice latte. I'm slowly getting into coffee. So it normally becomes an acquired taste unless, like the peppermint mocha latte, I already have an obsession with some of the things in it. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I rarely sign on to this.
Now i'll have to stop by, perhaps order a peppermint mocha latte ;)
Creative post. Too bad they don't get it...but that's why you're here.
My vote is for the Starbucks Peppermint Mocha!!!!!
All the glory to God. The Holy Scriptures testify about Christ.
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me
My dear brother, I already consumed a vanilla coke and it may be unsafe, but maybe...just maybe...
Okay, I had to try it out and it was good, in fact, expectedly so. However, the pumpkin spice latte suits me better.
