When our daughter was a little girl, around three or four years old, the most exciting day for her was anytime I braided her hair differently than usual. She would look at herself in the mirror, and while admiring her beauty, ask: “Do you think my dad will recognize me?” I always responded, “I doubt it.”
I would like to say sorry for the inconvenience our website “Shop” page has caused you.
I heard from many of you that you were not able to order my first book, “Beyond the Fairy Tale” (in English) and my first teaching CDs, “What Sex Is Not” and “What Sex Is” (in Amharic).
Well, the order page got broken when we upgraded the website. It is now up and running!
So, you can go ahead and order now. Here is the link: www.appealforpurity.org/storefront/
Well, by spending time with the Holy Spirit in prayer, and by reading and studying the Bible. Notice I didn’t say, “reading” but “reading and studying the Bible.” Continue reading Redeem Your Day!→
Just because two consenting people have sex doesn’t mean that they are married.
Some people think that once two people have sex outside marriage, they are considered as married because “they are one.” Unfortunately these same people use the following Bible verses to back up their points: Exodus 22:16-17; Deuteronomy 22:13-22 and 1 Corinthians 6:16.
Praise God! I’m back to Maryland after I spent the weekend in Edmonton, Canada.
As I always do, I want to thank people who’ve worked hard in making this conference a success. Four Edmonton area local churches have a fellowship called “Evangelical Churches Fellowship in Edmonton, Canada.” There are many people who are involved in this, pastors, elders and ministers of all these four churches.
Righteousness is something we are called to pursue but lust is something we are called to stay away from.
Sometimes it seems as though leading a sexually pure life (not viewing porn and being engaged in solo-sex, not experimenting on sex and getting lost in the lust of this world) is something given to a few as a gift from God. But the Bible says, those who runaway from sexual immorality will stay away from it; and those who purse sexual purity will find it.
If you live in or closer to Edmonton, Canada, come to the Evangelical Churches Fellowship conference that starts tonight and worship God with us.
Today it will be for young people who can’t understand Amharic and there will also be another program on Sunday for the same group of folks. For the rest of the program, Saturday and Sunday, it will be in Amharic.
It is time to touch on the topic of alcohol and secular music. Right?
Well, “Do you think drinking alcohol is a sin” is a question that comes to our inbox as often as “Is it a sin for me to listen to a secular music about nature, love and what not and can you answer me according to the Bible?”
With much respect and admiration to those who spent their time on these topics to point out why it is okay to listen or not to listen to secular music; or why we need to totally avoid alcohol or how drinking one bottle of beer or a glass of wine here and there for the purpose of recreation is okay, I personally would like to say that I don’t really want to spend any of my time in dealing with these topics, and I will tell you why.
