This morning, I found this comment on my YouTube video, “Looking for a spiritual man to marry:”
“I can relate to the woman who wrote you that letter. The last 3 women I dated cured my loneliness but didn’t make me happy. One was Catholic the next claimed she was a Christian but she supported the lgbt and the last wasn’t a Christian at all. I’m going to be single forever unless the next woman I decide to have a relationship with is a God fearing Bible believing born again woman.”
Don’t you love seeing/hearing this kind of determination from a young man! I love it! (The man learned from his mistakes.)
(Below, you find the Facebook status post of one of the Appeal for Purity Team members, he is a single man. I read his post and I was blessed by it and I asked his permission to share it with you all. So, here it is.)
Let’s Watch Our Steps!
Yesterday evening, I heard a knock on my door. At first, I was like, “Who could that be at this hour?” Like seriously, it was dark outside with no light whatsoever.
I called out, “Who is it?”
“I’m one of the female tenants.”
I thought to myself, “What is going on here…” as I walked to the door. I opened the door to see what was up and it turned out that this girl who happened to live in the same building I live in wanted to ask me about something. I didn’t open the door fully but just enough to stick my head out. I felt very uncomfortable a minute after I opened the door. (In general, I feel extremely uncomfortable having a woman at my place.)
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.
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.
The program here in Melbourne is not over yet but I want to share with you all one cute picture I took yesterday with the teenagers I worshiped God with. Some of them left before we took the picture.

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, 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! ///
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.
