Somebody shared this with me this morning and I want to share it with you all.
The truth goes both ways though:
If a man is looking for a woman who is an angel, he has to be
“heaven” since angels don’t live in hell.

War Room!
Don’t miss it! I love to watch Christian movies! They change life! I don’t go out of the movie theater filling my heart with lust but with the fire of the Spirit of God! ///
A4P Guest: “I have a very serious sexual struggle with porn, masturbation and sleeping with girls. It is just impossible for me to stop these things. I always find it very easy to convince a Christian girl to sleep with me; whether she is a virgin or not. I always get up and decide never to do it again but I will find myself going back to it. I invite a girl to my apartment and persuade her to watch porn with me and the rest is history. I ran into your page recently, like a week ago. So, I decided to ask you this. What should I do to stop this vicious cycle of deciding never to do it and going back to it all over again? I want to straighten out my life before God. But please do me a favor; I don’t need a ten-page long answer. I only need one line. I don’t have time and patience to read your long answers.”
A4P: Hmm. Okay. So, here is my short answer: I so far wrote and posted more than 400 short as well as long articles on this page in the area of sexual purity/immorality. So, get busy reading and putting into practice the biblical principles you find in them. ///
A4P Guest: “I’m a 24-year-old Christian man. I know that sex before marriage is a sin and I don’t want to sin against God but because of my unique sexual nature, I’m sinning against God almost every day with porn and everything. My sexual desire is getting stronger and stronger every day. What should I do to decrease it? It is driving me nuts!”
A4P: (Thank you for giving me permission to share this on the page! Bless you!)
First, congratulations for having sexual desires, one of the signs of good physical health.
Second, as far as I know, there is no “my sexual desire is getting stronger and stronger every day” kind of thing unless you have a serious health problem, for example, high testosterone level in your bloodstream. Continue reading It is getting stronger and stronger

Yes, I had a wonderful and fantastic time at the Ethiopian Evangelical Church (EEC) in Ottawa! Praise the LORD!
I was overwhelmed by the presence of God throughout the program. Wow! How I love to witness instant change of heart in others because of the presence, the Word and Spirit of God! It is just awesome! Continue reading My Time At Ottawa, Canada
The Bible says, “- – – Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” (Ephesians 5:25b – 27)
Jesus is a relentless Lover and Pursuer of the Church, His Bride!
The Church today may, from the outside, look old with lots of wrinkles and blemishes; flaws and faults but don’t forget, the Lion of Judah is Her Lover! He is Her Groom! He gave Himself up for Her! He is Her Head and She is His Body! (Ephesians 5:23) He will wash Her until She becomes radiant enough to be His wedded wife! Continue reading The Church – – – the Bride of Jesus
A4P Guest: I’m a 26-year-old Christian girl, and I’m a fourth year university student. I’m one of the five leaders of the campus Christian fellowship (two of us are girls). Through time and from working very closely in this fellowship, I developed a strong feeling to one of the guys, but he doesn’t seem to have any special feelings for me other than seeing me as his sister-in-Christ. Is it okay for me to pursue him? Is it okay for me to ask him for a date?
A4P: My heart goes out to you. It’s just a tough spot for a young girl like you to find herself in. I know you may wish me saying something like, “It is okay for a girl to ask a man for a date; there is no Bible verse that forbids her to do that. It is just culture, – – -” Continue reading Is it okay for a girl to ask a man for a date?
My Take on “Why men don’t ask for direction”
First things first: Thank you all for your kind words on the Banko’s family picture I posted yesterday!I read each and every comment. I took none of your kind words for granted. I appreciate them all. May the LORD Jesus Christ take all the praise and honor, for He is the Author of every good and perfect gift!
So, going back to the topic of why men don’t ask for direction, from all the comments which were dropped off on that post (I’m referring to last Saturday, Aug 8’s post) my number one favorite comment is this one: “a woman is right next to him to ask.” Seriously this comment made my Sunday! I love it! Continue reading My Take on “Why men don’t ask for direction”
After a very short, well-deserved, family vacation, I’m back. Praise God! Continue reading Hello to all of you!
Online Dating
Hmm! I personally don’t like the phrase “Online dating” let alone the actual dating being done online.
Sure, we are now doing life more on a virtual world than on the real one. I worked for a company for five years without meeting the person who interviewed me and later became my boss. Why? There was no need for me and her to meet in person. The work was done perfectly and we both loved it! Why do we need to meet? No need!
Meeting people online is a good way to meet people whom we may not otherwise be able to, given our hectic lifestyle. However meeting people online, dating them online and later deciding to marry them to do marriage in the real world is a very tricky and risky business. Continue reading Online Dating
