God created sex only in the context of marriage. The boundary line of beautiful, healthy, fulfilling and satisfying sex is called marriage. Outside the blessed union of one man and one woman, sex is a wildfire.
“Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.” (Proverbs 6:27-29) Continue reading The Boundary Line
Here is Part I. Where is Part II? Well, I’m hoping for it to come soon.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed worshiping God with Girum, one of my favorite Ethiopian Gospel singers! Don’t just watch the video; worship God and experience His presence. Continue reading Fantastic Parent’s Seminar at Toronto, CA
A4P Guest: I lived outside of Ethiopia since 2000. Last time I went back home was in 2011. I met this amazing girl at that time and fell in love with her instantly. We couldn’t spend much time together since I had to come back in short period of time. Before I went for vacation, I told my friends that I was going to meet my future wife and told them that I wouldn’t touch her except shaking her hands and that was exactly what I did. It’s been more than three years now and we are still together. We are actually more in love now than back then. I’m planning to bring her down here anytime soon. My eyes are dying to see her. I missed her so much. My question is when she arrives here, she only has me. I don’t want to sin against God and I’m a bit worried. I don’t even know if I can kiss her before we get married. I’ve already made my mind to propose to her. I just want to know if we can start kissing after I propose to her. What do you think about that?

A4P Guest: I “Liked” Appeal for Purity’s Facebook page long time ago but I don’t see its status update on my news feed. I have to always come to the page to read or see the updates. Why don’t I receive A4P’s posts on my news feed after I liked the page or do I need to do something else than liking the page?
A4P: This is becoming a very common question coming to us from Appeal for Purity (A4P) supporters. I don’t know if you know this but when we post something, it only reaches to less than 2% of the people who liked the page. Even this post won’t make it to 98% of people who liked this page. If you happen to read this, this is what you can do so that you can receive all our posts in a daily basis:
1. Open the Appeal for Purity Facebook page
2. Click the downward arrow of the “Liked” button you see on your right hand side on the A4P’s Facebook cover page.
3. From the drop-down choice, click “Get Notification” and click “See First”
If you do the above three simple steps, you will be the first one to see A4P’s status update on your news feed. ///
“Christianity is not a sprint but a marathon.”
Wow, did you hear that? How true that is!
While a sprint is a very fast, quick and short race, a marathon is a footrace of 26 miles 385 yards.
Christianity is a long journey, and a combination of different marathons. When we think we finished it all, got it all covered, to our surprise we find ourselves standing at the beginning of the race in some areas of life. Why? Because each area of life has its own race.

Time indeed flies, doesn’t it?
Well, guess what, Appeal for Purity is going to celebrate its two year anniversary on Saturday, October 31, 2015.
This page was launched on the Halloween day, Thursday, October 31, 2013. We didn’t launch it on that day intentionally. I guess it was divinely orchestrated to thwart the work of the devil. May the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised forever!
So, this is how we are planning to celebrate the Appeal for Purity Ministries’ two year anniversary.
If you benefited from this ministry in one way or the other and want to see more of this ministry in the future in different social medias, let’s us hear from you starting today.
How do we want to hear from you? Well, drop us a video clip, in the message box, of you telling us how you benefited from this ministry. Or, you can voice recorder your message or you can drop us a note, in writing, telling us how God ministered to you through this ministry.
Once we have enough number of these clips/notes, God willing, we put them all together and make a short video and release it on the anniversary day.
We love to hear from all of you who want to see this ministry flourishing and reaching out to millions. ///

Praise the LORD! I’m back home after I had a wonderful three days long conference at the Ethiopian Evangelical Church (EEC) in Toronto, Canada.
As I always do, I would like to leave a “Thank you” note here on this page to those who gave me this great opportunity and made my stay in Toronto an enjoyable and memorable one.
I first would like to say “Thank you” to Pastor Alemayehu and his beloved wife, for inviting me over to minister and worship God with teens, young adults, singles and married folks of the Toronto Ethiopian Evangelical church. Thank you! May the LORD continue using you for His glory! Continue reading It is always good to be HOME!
When we know how to take control of our eyes, we can be in a good shape to take control of our actions; what our body parts choose to do. If we lose the battle at our eyes, we lose the battle that is waging against our whole body and we get stuck in all sorts of destructive habits and lifestyles.
Jesus said, ““The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:22-23) ///

“So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.” Genesis 2:20
And God solved this problem by taking a rib out of Adam, and made Eve and brought her to Adam. Because of the original design, she belongs to only one man; in a covenant relationship of marriage of one man and one woman – just like the first wedding in the Garden of Eden – Genesis 2:21-25 ///
