Upbuilding and Positive
HOW TO DO IT:
-
Cultivate a positive view of your listeners. Assume that your fellow believers want to please Jehovah. Even if you must give counsel, first sincerely commend whenever possible.
-
Limit negative material. Include negative aspects of a topic only to the extent that they serve a useful purpose. The overall tone of your presentation should be positive.
-
Make good use of God’s Word. Draw attention to what Jehovah has done, is doing, and will do for humankind. Impart hope and courage to your listeners.
