A Factory of Idols
John Calvin once said: “The human heart is a factory of idols.”
Looking at my heart, I see Calvin’s statement to be right on the money.
You see, the first thing I always say when I open my eyes is this: “Jesus Christ is Lord!” And brushing my teeth and washing my face, I will continue preaching to my soul so my soul won’t get a chance to preach to me.
But today, the first thing that came to my heart was this: “I have to find out if Dr. Abiy Ahmed, the new Ethiopian Prime Minister, is doing okay today.”
Yes, I was reprimanded by the Word and Spirit of God today and I said this prayer: “Forgive me LORD! You are the One who brought Dr. Abiy to power and You are the One who is going to protect him. I don’t need to worry to the point of letting go of my morning devotion. I don’t want him to be my idol. I know that My heart is a factory of idol. Please help me to focus on You alone, leaving all my worries and cares at Your feet. No, Abba, You are my God. You are my only Hope and source of joy! No one else!”
May God give us all a discerning heart so “that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
What are his schemes?
Mainly to use anything and everything to distract us from our devotion to and focus on Christ and fill our hearts and minds with fear and doubt.
God says:
“Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations;
I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10a)///

Disappointing Reason To Get Married
The most depressing, frustrating and disappointing reason to marry is to have sex. Do you know why? Well, let me give one analogy to make my point clear:
Let’s assume that a married couple has sexual intimacy three times a week. (I’m not suggesting that having sex three times a week is the norm or anything. It can be a norm for some and for some, three times a week may feel like a fasting season). Continue reading Disappointing Reason To Get Married
Absolutely Nothing!
The one problem most people face when they try to break free from porn addiction is this:
They think and believe that they can win it!
How can anybody defeat sin?
No one can, man! No one! Continue reading Absolutely Nothing!
Sex Before Marriage
Let’s assume for a moment that you’re in the Sahara Desert, looking for a drop of water. Then all of a sudden, a man appears with a coca cola can and hands it to you.
You finish the whole can in a second and look up hoping that he would give you another one. Laughing at you hysterically, he gives you another can.
“She Was My Girl”
A4P Guest: I’m a 32 year-old married man. Before I got married, I was seeing one Christian girl. I was very much in love with her and all. Then I met my high school classmate on Facebook and began chatting with her. I had a crush on her when we were in 11th grade. Other than that, there was nothing between us. Then before I knew it, I began spending more time with this girl on Facebook than with my girlfriend. Then, to make a long story short, I lost interest in pursuing my girlfriend and continued my relationship virtually with my high school classmate and decided to marry her. At the time, she was living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Continue reading “She Was My Girl”
“You Look Hot!”

Yeah, we all read that comment and/or maybe wrote that comment thinking that the meaning of “You look Sexy” or “you look Hot” is “You are extremely beautiful!”
But does the word “Sexy” mean “Beautiful?” Continue reading “You Look Hot!”
