A Role of a Father from a Family – – – A Generation

When our daughter was a little girl, like three or four years old, the most exciting day for her used to be the day I made her hair differently. She looks at herself in the mirror, admiring her beauty she asks: “Do you think my dad will recognize me?” I always respond, “I doubt it.”

She waits for him as if nobody’s business. Every now and then, she looks out of the window to see if her dad is back from work. So, I usually call my husband and give him heads up. So, he comes home and says, “Where is my daughter? And, who is this cute girl here?” Continue reading A Role of a Father from a Family – – – A Generation →

Sunday!

Hooray! Yes, it is Sunday!

Please don’t ask me about the weather down here. I know, I am kind of resenting Maryland’s weather these days. I mean, we don’t have a plan to move unless God has a plan for us. But these days, I already brought the topic of moving from this area to my hubby probably three times. Why? The weather! It is just crazy!

But this is the rule of our household, rain or shine, we shall always go to the house of the Lord on Sundays!

So, even if it is rainy, wet and cold today, as for me and my house, we shall go to the house God to worship Him with other believers!

What about you and your household? ///

Very Interesting Question

My sister and her husband are at “the Weekend to Remember” getaway program for married couples hosted by the Family Life Ministry (familyministry.com). If you remember, my Berhan and I went to this program three weeks ago. Now it is their turn. So, their kids are with us since yesterday night. You can just imagine our Saturday with six kids. Our three kids had an “All Nighter” program hosted by Grace Baptist Church yesterday night. They literally stayed up the whole night. The program starts with a prayer and worship, followed by a short sermon and ends with bowling, skating (rollerblading) rock climbing and laser tagging as they go from one place to another by bus for the whole night. Yeah! This program comes only once a year and all our kids die to go!

Anyways, they just came back from there and you can just imagine; their cousins want them to stay up and they want to stay up too but they look like zombies. I try to keep all of them up so that they enjoy each other’s presence.

While I do that, I opened my laptop and saw one question which was dropped off in my inbox yesterday night and that question caught my attention. So, the question goes like this: Continue reading Very Interesting Question →

Change is a Rarity in the Man’s World!

Some girls believe that their man can change if they marry him. But that is a fantasy many women tend to believe.

The truth of the matter is a man doesn’t usually change.

There is one beautiful saying that goes like this:

“A woman marries a man thinking that he will change; but he will never change. A man marries a woman thinking that she will never change; but she will change.”

Made you think, didn’t it? Continue reading Change is a Rarity in the Man’s World! →

Supplemental Vitamins can’t Replace Real Food!

Can anybody live by a supplement? Well, sure they can but for a very short period of time. They eventually need to eat real food or else they will die. Supplements are there to “supplement” not to replace real food.

In the same way, what we get from our local churches on Sundays is a spiritual supplement (but only if it is biblically sound). If our spiritual enlightenment comes only from the Sunday service, we are endangering our spirituality.

Our real spiritual food should come from our daily personal devotion with God, as we seek Him and His ways and wills; as we read the Bible and meditate on the Word daily; and as we strive to put the Word to practice.

To live by every Word of God, we need to eat it daily (Matthew 4:4); strive to live by it daily (Matthew 7:24. And adding supplement is still necessary, which is, going to church and seeking God with others.

After all, the church is not called to influence us, us the believers; rather we the believers are called to influence the church. If we are not alive and well in Him daily, the church won’t be alive and well either BECAUSE WE ARE THE CHURCH! ///

Tomorrow Evening at the Berea Teleconference

Flyer Berea 03 09 2015

Join me tomorrow at the Berea teleconference special program at 8:30pm. It is going to be interview, not teaching.

One of the questions I may need to give an answer for is: “While you are a woman, why are you teaching in churches? Didn’t the Word of God say “Women should sit quietly” according to 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 & 1Timothy 2:11-15?”

I LOVE IT VERY MUCH! So, to those of you who have already dropped me those kinds of questions, I invite you to join me. Don’t miss it!

I can’t tell you how happy I am to address those kinds of politically incorrect topics because I believe most of the time those topics we shy away from have basic and fundamental truth in them. And as you all know, truth sets us all FREE! ALWAYS!

So, don’t forget to join me tomorrow, March 09, 2015 at 8:30pm. ///

P. S. Here is the Berea Teleconference Number: 712-432-5222 and access ID: 2484446#

Spring Forward but it is Sunday!

I don’t know about you but for me, I am not in a position to lose any minute of my time! I actually want someone to add one extra hour to my life today. But, today is a daylight saving day; means we are moving our clock one hour ahead.

Are you serious? Yes, I’m serious. We are losing one hour of our time. Not fair at all!

But you know what? Even if I am complaining about losing my one hour of sleep, I am rejoicing that today is Sunday; a day I can go to church and worship God with other believers. What a joy that is!

So, if you live in America, while you are lamenting over your lost hour, let me remind you that God inhabits the praises of His people.

“But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22:3)

Yes, God loves to reveal Himself among His people; among His people who knows how to worship and praise Him in spirit and truth. So, don’t forget to go to your local church today!

When we worship Him with other believers, we will be engulfed by His presence and we will forget about our lost hour. I love it! I actually want to forget not only my lost hour but at His presence, I also want to forget myself! Don’t you want to get lost in His presence? I ALWAYS do!///

Fight over a Worship Song

Every Saturday morning, we have a family Bible study time which I am getting bad at attending these days because of my travel. We started this Bible study almost nine years ago. Since our kids were little, we started with kids’ coloring pages we found online – coloring Mary and Joseph and more (I don’t remember now where we found those materials but there are still many free downloadable materials online if you want to start a Bible study with your little ones).
