TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

1. Learn From Judah’s Spiritual Sickness

(10 min.)

The people of Judah were stubborn and rebellious (Jer 4:4, 14; w13 3/15 9-10 ¶8-9)

They were not interested in receiving Jehovah’s diagnosis of their spiritual condition (Jer 5:31; jr 114 ¶2)

They faced disaster because they ignored Jehovah’s warnings (Jer 6:17-19)

ASK YOURSELF, ‘How can I avoid becoming spiritually sick?’

Collage: 1. A sister meditates on what she read while doing personal study using a Bible, a tablet, and the “Insight” volumes. 2. A clinician points to a diagram of the human body on her tablet. — If you were seriously ill, would you not want an accurate diagnosis so that you could be treated in time? Spiritually speaking, would you not want the same?
