Sexual Purity, Truth

It Cannot Give You What It Does Not Have

Porn cannot give you anything because it has NOTHING to give.
 
Rather, porn takes from you every precious and God-given treasure you have. It takes them one by one until you have NOTHING left.
 
“What kind of treasure?”
 
Prayer, thirst and hunger for the things of God, self-control, confidence to speak about God, peace, joy, rest, good and restful sleep, love, patience, ability to focus, think and reason, on and on and on, including your precious God-given sexual desire.
 
Somebody may ask: “What? Sexual desire? I go to porn because of my sexual desire. It doesn’t take my desires away; it fixes it, does it not?”
 
Well, from the outside, it looks like you go to porn because of your sexual desire but the truth is, you go to porn because of your wounded soul; a soul that cries out for authentic and genuine intimacy with its Creator as well as human beings.

Talk to Your Kids About How “Every Life Matters”

May our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, comfort families and friends of those who lost their lives in Louisiana, Minnesota and Dallas.

If you have kids, please talk to them about the news. Don’t think that your kids don’t need to know about this or don’t have any idea about what’s going on.

My husband was telling me on the phone how he decided to do our family Saturday Bible study on this very topic. Continue reading Talk to Your Kids About How “Every Life Matters” →

Where Change Needs to Happen First

Wearing new clothes, having a new haircut, changing a church or job, meeting new people, moving to a new city whatnot won’t really make us better Christians.

Until we decide to change our pattern of thinking according to the Word of God, we will continue to act, do, feel and experience the same thing again and again and again. Yes, change has to start first in the mind.

The Word of God says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2) ///

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day, to all residents of the United States!

I personally love this holiday from all national holidays because it reminds me of the great leaders and personalities America had in the past; men and women who made this nation great and independent!

I love America! It indeed is the land of the free! May God bless America! May all enemies of America be put to shame forever! ///

Did My Brain Start Making Up Stories? Or What?

According to the CBN news, UN committee says, “Taking kids to church violates human rights.”
 
Hold on a second: What does the committee want me to do with my kids?
 
Ridiculous!
 
I mean, seriously, they are bold, aren’t they? I wish I had that boldness to share the Gospel with others! Truth to be told, this is not a laughing matter; but a serious one because as it’s always been; first, idea comes, then, implementation of that same idea will follow. That is how we’ve come this far.

From Cincinnati to Maryland

IMG_8135

My family and I are now back in Maryland, Praise God! We were in Cincinnati, Ohio for the International Christian Retail Trade Show (ICRS) and my husband (Berhan) and our kids sacrificed a lot to be with me. I am not sure how to thank them!

A few weeks ago, I announced on this page about me traveling to Cincinnati asking, if there was any church in that area. Well, members of one church, Peoples Church, reached out to me, and my family and I went to their church last Sunday morning. So, before I say anything, I want to say “Thank you” to many people.

Purity for the brave hearted!
