HAPPY EASTER!
 
Jesus doesn’t want us to believe in Him against the evidence. And the evidence is this: The tomb is empty! Yes, He is risen as He said He would.
 
Whenever I think of the Cross, this is the verse that always comes to my mind and heart:
 
” And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:15) ///

You Shall be Healed

Here is the message I’m trying to pass on in this video clip:

If you have sexual struggle, don’t keep it as a secret. The one thing that gave your struggle power is the fact that you kept it in secret, in the dark. Bring it to light by breaking your silence.

The Bible says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16

A Bridegroom With His Romantic Poem

He has to come up with something like this because he married his 7th grade classmate; a girl he put his eyes on since that day; a day he realized that he missed one one of his ribs.
 
This young man realized that marriage is a ministry, a call. And he not only affirmed his girl that she is his but also he is hers! How romantic.

A Clip from “4:12 Christian Youth TV Show”

Don’t miss the second part of my interview with beautiful host of “4:12 Christian Youth Show” Abegail Hun on Elshaddai TV.
 
Part II will be aired tomorrow at the same time (9am EST; or 10 seate in Ethiopian time).
 
The host, Abegail is asking me the difference between holiness and purity.
 
Holiness is a gift from God. When God sets something/someone apart for His glory, that thing/person is called holy.
 
When it comes to purity, which can only be applied to “a person,” not a thing, it is a result, outcome and product of that holy work God did in the person.
 
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a HOLY nation – – -” (1 Peter 2:9a) – This holiness can’t be found from work; but from God, as God sets the person apart and declares him/her as His possession.
 
Purity is the working out of what God worked in the holy person:
 
“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to WORK OUT your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who WORKS IN you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” (Philippians 2:13)
 
I love this truth of God very much! ///

 

“I Thought I Found That Man”

A4P Guest: I read your blog yesterday about encouraging single girls to marry a man who loves Christ more than he loves the girl he is dating. Well, I thought I found that man and married him three years ago. All the spiritual things I thought he had were nothing but fake. I now don’t even think that he is a believer in Christ anymore. He is addicted to all sorts of Internet filthy stuff and he has no plan to deal with it. As he told me, he became addicted to this thing ten years ago. Had I known about this while we were dating, I wouldn’t have married him but there was no way for me to know that he was addicted while we were dating. And he didn’t tell me even if I shared with him everything about me. 

A4P: So, tell me how you came to know him and what had made you believe that he was in love with Christ more than he was in love with you?

A4P Guest: I met him in my church. I thought he was very spiritual because he used to talk about God 24/7 and if the church door opened for whatever reason, he was there. He missed no church program. He also used to preach in some church programs. I used to be blessed by every word he uttered. He encouraged me to grow in Christ and used to text me spiritual messages almost everyday.
