Roman soldiers marched for miles so their feet where always ready. If Zeal can be likened to a fire, there are problems that like a raging wildfire "we can fight fire with fire" (Eom 1:14,15). 1 Timothy 4:16 encourages us to share the good news with zeal
Things that can threaten our Zeal:
- unresponsive territory - Criticism - Opposition - The pressure of daily life
1 Timothy 4:16 encourages us to perserve in a zealous preaching.
VIDEO DRAMATIZATION: A couple strive to regain their zeal. Not everyone wants to listen, we just didnt want to be the reason they said.

1:50 SYMPOSIUM: “PUT AWAY” PEACE WRECKERS ...
Envy wants what someone else and doesnt want that person to have it. The'Jewish religious leaders were envious of Jesus popularity and attcked Jesus spreading malicious lies Gal 5 :21 Envy undermined or even destroys relationships. For example Joseph's brothers who caused much heartache. Korah Dathan and Abiram's envy disrupted the peace if the congregation and Jehovah expressed'his displeasure. DRAMATIZATION Emily is suffering from an onset of envy which threatens to disrupt peace. Solution - have a humble mindset - be kind to others - cultivate contentment - PART 3 OF 5 : Dishonesty (Ephesians 4:25) Our honesty must go beyond just not lying. We must not mislead by half truths. A single act of dishonesty can destroy trust and can spread like a virus. Laban dealt with trickery and destroyed the relationship he had with Jacob and the whole family
DRAMATZATION Emily is tempted to distort the truth because she heard only what she wanted to hear. We must speak truthfully because "we are members belonging to one another" Ephesians 4:25. Honesty will enable us to build trust and friendships. Jehovah wkll help us.

- PART 4 OF 5 : Harmful Gossip (Proverbs 15:28)
Not all gossip is negative but we should be careful about speakingnabout others 1 Timothy 5:15. When others hear they have been victims of gossip they will be angry and reparing it can be as impossible as gathering scattered feathers (Proverbs 15:28)
Paul was a victim of harmful gossip that could have undermined his authority
DRAMATIZATION A wise elder counsils not to draw hasty conclusions and to not spread negativity ( Proverbs 18:17) Think before you speak ( Proverbs 15:28) - is what I am about to say true, kind and loving - be empathetic Luke 6:31

4:15 Safeguard Our “Uniting Bond of Peace”! ( Ephesians 4:1-6) Despite their common ancestry the Israelites lost their national unity. Jesus prayed his disciples remained united ( John 17:20) Unity was not a given as they would all come from different backgrounds. In the congregation different brothers make different conscience decisions, we must allow for this ( Rom 14:4 ). How should we decide what to do in matters when there is not a clear bible law.
1. What will make Jehovah happy? (Research, examine scriptural principles)
2. How might my choice effect others ?
3. Consider the feeling of others of others
4. Did I take the time to meditate prayerfully before making my decision?
Following your feelings is not the same as following a bible trained conscience. ( Jeremiah 17:10) VIDEO INTERVIEWS (attending non-witness Weddings and Funerals) 4:50 SONG #113: Our Possession of Peace ( John 14:27 - See also Psalm 46:9 ; Isaiah 2:4; Jas. 3:17, 18) and CLOSING PRAYER
