IMITATE JEHOVAH'S WAY OF THINKING - Conclusion

 Eventually, Peer showed that he wanted to be attuned to Jehovah's way of thinking. The time had arrived for uncircumcised Gentiles to become part of God's people.  Peter was assigned to preach to the Gentile Cornelius, who would be among the first of this new group of worshippers. Jews had very little to do with Gentiles, so it is not surprising that Peter needed help to prepare for this assignment. When Peter discerned God's will in this matter, he adjusted his viewpoint. As a result, when he was sent for, he went "without objection." (Acts 10:28, 29) He preached to Cornelius and his household, and they got baptized. - ACTS 10:21-23,34, 35, 44-48. 

Years later, Peter encouraged fellow Christians to "think in agreement." (Read 1 Peter 3:8 and footnote.) As Jehovah's people, we can think in agreement by reflecting Jehovah's thinking as it is expressed in his Word. For example, Jesus urged his followers to put the Kingdom first in their life. (Matthew 6:33) With that in mind, a publisher in your congregation might decide to undertake some form of full-time service. Rather than suggest that he be kind to himself, we should speak positively about that worthy endeavor and offer our support.
