Te escribo estas cosas [...] para que sepas cómo debes comportarte en la casa de Dios (1 Tim. 3:14, 15).
Una forma de encontrar nuestro lugar en la congregación y demostrar que lo valoramos es cooperando de buena gana con “el esclavo fiel y discreto” y con su representante, el Cuerpo Gobernante (Mat. 24:45-47). Así pues, debemos examinarnos para ver si de verdad estamos siguiendo la guía que nos da el esclavo fiel. Por ejemplo, a lo largo de los años hemos recibido consejos claros relacionados con la forma de vestirnos y arreglarnos, las diversiones que elegimos y el uso de Internet. ¿Obedecemos fielmente estos consejos que buscan proteger nuestra espiritualidad? También se nos ha animado a fijar un horario para adorar a Dios en familia. ¿Hemos tomado en serio dicha exhortación? ¿Estamos dedicando una noche a ese propósito? Y si somos solteros, ¿utilizamos ese tiempo para estudiar las Escrituras? Si escuchamos al esclavo, Jehová nos bendecirá a nosotros y a nuestras familias.

I am writing you these things . . . that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in God’s household.—1 Tim. 3:14, 15.
One way to find our place in the congregation and give evidence that we treasure it is to cooperate fully with “the faithful and discreet slave” and its representative Governing Body. (Matt. 24:45-47) We need to examine our response to the direction we receive from the slave class. Over the years, for example, we have received pointed direction on dress and grooming, entertainment, and improper use of the Internet. Do we carefully heed this good counsel so that we are spiritually protected? What about the admonition to establish a regular routine of family worship? Have we taken the advice to heart and set aside an evening for that purpose? If we are single, are we making time for personal study of the Scriptures? Jehovah will bless us individually and as families if we follow the guidance of the slave class.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
