PRACTICE TRUE WORSHIP

To please God, you must reject false worship and take a stand for true worship.  What does this include? The Bible states: "Let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near."  (Hebrews 10:24, 25) Christian meetings are happy occasions for you to worship God in the way that he approves.  (Psalm 22:22; 122:1) At such meetings, there is "an interchange of encouragement' among faithful Christians. - Romans 1:12.

Another way that you can take a stand for true worship is to speak to others  about  the things you have learned from studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses.  Many people truly are "sighing and groaning" over the wickedness that is taking place in the world today.  (Ezekiel 9:4) Perhaps you know some people who feel that way.  Why not speak to them about your Bible -based hope for the future? As you associate with true Christians and speak to others about the marvelous Bible truths you have learned, you will find that any desire  for the customs of false worship that may have remained in your heart will gradually disappear.  (note: it worked for me)  Be assured that you will be very happy and will receive many blessings if you take your stand for true worship. -Malachi 3:10.
