“I think I’m in love with a guy”

A4P Guest: “I am 22 years old and I am active in my church. I’ve never dated or been in love with a man before but now I think I am in love with a guy I’m ministering with. We are in the same ministry and I don’t think he is noticing me in that way. Last time, he took everybody’s number to give us all a call to remind us about our prayer meeting. He called me once and he never called me after that. I constantly think about him and I don’t know what I need to do. I don’t think he has the same feeling for me as I do for him. What should I do?” Continue reading “I think I’m in love with a guy”

What a Contradiction!

It was spring and the bright sunlight brightened up my heart. And with that gorgeous weather, how beautiful it was to attend a wedding. I met some of my lovely friends with whom I could laugh and be just “me”.

Then, suddenly I saw one woman. The moment I saw her, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I quickly changed my eyes from her and started looking away as if I didn’t see her. Continue reading What a Contradiction!

Is Sex Good In the Evening or In the Morning?

First of, on this page, there is no discussion of sex outside of marriage. Sex outside of marriage, according to the Bible is, sinful, dirty, shameful, dangerous to our soul, spirit and body as it degrades the honorable nature of a human being who is created by the image and likeness of a holy God. So, any discussion of sex on this page is in the context of marriage between one man and one woman. That being said, let me jump into the most radical message in the area of one of the most commonly seen sexual misunderstandings between a husband and a wife.

Traveling to Stockholm, Sweden

15_sweden-nov-6-to-16-2016_facebook_ad

I have a wonderful opportunity to minister in the Jerusalem Evangelical Church in Stockholm, Sweden from Nov 6 to 12.
 
I’m very excited about this opportunity but truth be told, while there is unrest in my beautiful land, Ethiopia, and my beautiful people, Ethiopians, are in turmoil, it is getting harder and harder every day for me to enjoy anything.
 
But God taught me how to draw comfort in knowing that God is God, means, He is in control.
 
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10a)
 
It is my daily prayer for God to bring peace and rest to all of us. May His mercy and grace be with Ethiopia and all Ethiopians!
 
Be that as it may, if you or someone you know lives in Stockholm, Sweden, I invite you to come over to the Jerusalem church and worship God with us. For more info about this program, call the number you see on the flyer. ///

 

Advice to a Single Girl

It is wonderful to see couples tying the knot to be one, never to be two.

As a married person and a teacher in the area of sexual purity, I can’t tell you how I rejoice whenever I see a wedding.

Yes, the Bible says that marriage protects us from being soaked in sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 7). What a joy then to see someone escaping such a “ruthless tyrant” as sexual immorality! Continue reading Advice to a Single Girl

A Wife’s Prayer To Her Husband

Thank You, LORD, for giving me another day to come to You in prayer. May Your Name be blessed forever!

I have received many great and perfect gifts from You, LORD.

Above all the gifts, LORD, You gave me Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for me on the Cross so I might live for You. Jesus, You became sin for me so I might be God’s righteousness. Thank You, Lord Jesus! Continue reading A Wife’s Prayer To Her Husband

Nakedness

It was few years back when our kids were very little. While I was reading one of those interesting psychology books, I don’t remember which one; I read that in every human heart, there is this deep seated desire to be naked. I said to myself, “You must be kidding me!” The author continued saying that not only we desire to be naked but we desire others to be naked as well.

I said to myself; “That is absurd!”

Well, I respectfully disagreed with the idea and moved on to the next one. But the idea kind of stayed with me. Then to my surprise, I noticed something.

Purity for the brave hearted!
