A4P Guest: . . . . If a couple can’t be together to have sex because of immigration problem, why don’t they use Skype? Instead of burning from sexual desire and be tempted to . . . in this way they can protect each other . . . . When you do not know in what situation this couple is, how can you judge them for using Skype as their sexual outlet? Do you think they prefer to do it on Skype? I think the problem is this: We have hard time to understand others’ problem when we do not experience the problem ourselves . . .
01/22/1973 – The day America legalizes abortion in all fifty states – so far 56 million babies lost their lives in America; that means 137 babies an hour.
I love to hear the truth about abortion only from women who went through it because they judge nobody; they just tell what it is; as it is.
As always Focus on the Family ministry had a wonderful radio show today and I heard it on my phone since I was busy when they aired the program. I already shade my tears with these wonderful women and it is now your turn. Here is the link:
A4P Guest: My friend suggested to me to like your page few weeks ago and I’ve been reading your posts since then. I like the topics you are raising and I thank you for that but sometimes I feel like you are a bit too strict about some of life issues such as kissing before marriage and similar topics. Why?
A4P: Because I only strive to talk about the narrow gate, not about the wide gate:
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 ///
Making our lives as an open book to our brothers and sisters in Christ, praying, reading and meditating the Word of God and hiding it in our hearts and minds will keep us all from danger.
As the Word sharpens our mind and spirit, we become wise enough to seek only that which brings life, joy, peace and rest to our soul, spirit and body.
That is what the Bible calls “WISDOM.”
Listen how the Word of God advises a young man to use WISDOM to stay away from adultery: Continue reading WISDOM!→
A4P Guest: On one of your Tweets, you said, “We have to obey God first before we understand Him.” That is wrong. We have to understand God before we obey Him because if we understand Him, we find it easy to obey Him.
A4P: Hmm, if we could understand God before we give him our obedience, God would have been one of the science subjects we studied in colleges. Continue reading Understand Vs Believe→
It really feels good to be the center of my husband’s attention. I was away for sometimes (traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) and I’m now here in Maryland.
Even if my Berhan doesn’t have a problem of “workaholism,” his work sometimes follows him home and I don’t like it. He comes home with his headphones on his ears and he whispers to me things like, “I’m in a meeting” or “Just give me few minutes.” And when that happens, it is hard for me to get his attention I so much crave to get.
What was your New Year’s Bible verse you’ve received through others or your churches?
We, the Banko’s family have received a verse on the New Year’s Eve celebration day at our church. Well, I was not at the celebration but my loving and kind husband and kids were.
Every year our church gives a small gift with one Bible verse for each individual who attends the program. We used to pick one for each one of us but a couple years ago, we decided to take only one for our family because we believed that every blessing from God comes to our family through the head of our household, my Berhan.
