Hope for the Homeless and the Poor - THE BIBLE CHANGED HIS LIFE

 "Joe seemed intelligent, mannerly, and humble," said Cindi, who often saw him the library where she worked. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, she gave him copies of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines and invited him to attend a Christian meeting. There he was treated with kindness and respect, so he began to attend regularly.  He also accepted a personal Bible study, which was offered to him by one of the men in the congregation. 

Joe found much comfort in what he learned, and he began to apply Bible teachings, even though this making big changes in his life. For example, he learned that life is a divine gift which should be treated with respect and that smoking pollutes the body. (Psalm 36:9) Therefore, he gave up smoking, in harmony with the principle stated at 2 Corinthians 7:1:"Let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh." Of course, Joe's decision not only benefited his health but also save him money.
