For the most part, the Bible is a simple book to understand. It is actually a book written so little kids can read and understand it.

Hot or Cold
There is one good saying in Amharic. It goes something like this: Just because you have two legs doesn’t mean that you can climb two trees. (I know, some of you may translate it better but I guess this is the best I can do).
A similar one in English would be: You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
You can have your cake and keep it in the fridge or you can eat your cake and you won’t have cake to keep in the fridge. Both these situations cannot be true at the same time. You have to choose one. Continue reading Hot or Cold
Happen to Good People
We usually ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
We ask that because we believe that there are good people. Well, don’t get me wrong, compare to us, there are many good people. Oh, yes, there are way “gooder” people than me, if you know what I mean.
But sometimes we genuinely ask that question in our hearts when we believe that those “good people” are us.
Evil Desires
Sinful desires are printed on our DNA. That means we can’t run away from them. They are always with us!
So, what do we need to do so sinful lifestyles won’t mark out lives? Continue reading Evil Desires
“Knowing” a Girl or a Wife?
Eve has a description. It doesn’t just say, Adam knew a girl named Eve.
Are you kidding? Oh, no, the Word of God doesn’t say that! It says, “And Adam knew Eve HIS WIFE;” (Genesis 4:1a KJV – capitalization is mine)
“And” shows that there were necessary events that had to occur before Adam “knew” his wife (the girl had to be publicly declared as “his wife”) and the semi colon (;) shows that “knowing” (making love, NIV) is not the end in and of itself. There is more blessing following it, depending on at what stage “the knowing” occurs.
What Does My Husband Want From Me?
Whenever this question comes up, everybody giggles, smiles and says, “The usual!” Continue reading What Does My Husband Want From Me?
Venomous Snake
“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.” James 1:26 NIV
A tight rein on the tongue shows a tight love of Christ in the heart.
Without Christ’s love taking over the heart, the tongue becomes a venomous snake, “a fire, the very world of iniquity; – – – set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. ” James 3:6 NASB ///
If the man who is pursing you for marriage loves Christ more than he loves you, don’t let him get away!
MARRY HIM!
And remember this:
Divorce Because of Porn
A4P Guest: I heard you saying many times and read on many of your posts that looking at a woman lustfully is like committing adultery. Am I right?
A4P: First, I didn’t say that; Jesus did in Matthew 5:28
“But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
What A Joy!
“Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. ” Hebrews 3:12-13 NASB
Wow!
Did you read that?
“Today!”
