Winner of the Valentine’s Day Game

Wow! Guys! Thank you so much for waiting for me this long! I was expecting somebody to inbox me saying, “When are you going to announce the winner?”

Well, I’m in the middle of being everywhere if you know what I mean.

I had a wonderful time at the Atlanta Pastor Tolossa church. It was kind of a miracle today for all of us. Oh, I love when the Holy Spirit takes over the service and does His own thing. I love Him! I love Him! I love Him! Continue reading Winner of the Valentine’s Day Game

The Valentine’s Day Game!

Yeap! We are going to run a wonderful game on the Valentine’s Day.

I know, I won’t be here in Maryland on that day but hey, technology made it easy for us to be at multiple places at the same time. So, while I am attending the Valentine’s Day celebration at the Atlanta church, I will be here on this page running the game.

Remember, there is a prize for the winner of this game!

So, here is how we are going to play the game.

On Saturday, February 14 from 11am to 3pm, the Appeal for Purity Facebook page feature which allows you to post a picture will be on. Continue reading The Valentine’s Day Game!

Back to Snowy and Rainy Maryland!

 

Glad to be back to Maryland even if Maryland is covered with black ice! Yeah, that is how Maryland rolls these days!

After staying in Las Vegas for the weekend with a weather ranging from 74 to 76 degree, I was very disappointed yesterday afternoon to find myself in Maryland with freezing point weather.

I had a wonderful time with the Ethiopian Christian Fellowship Church folks at Las Vegas! Continue reading Back to Snowy and Rainy Maryland!

“Fifty Shades Trilogy”

What is it? It is a series of three erotic romance novels! They are called: Fifty Shades of Grey; Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.

I am not sure if you already heard my message I gave on the Berea teleconference last Saturday or a week earlier. But if you did, you should have heard me mentioning these books. Well, I said few words about these books in the context of parenting; so that parents would save their daughters from these novels.

Well, today I want to warn everybody about these novels because a movie is made on the Fifty Shades of Grey and it coming out in theaters across America on a day before the Valentine’s Day.

The trilogy has only three years of history. That means the trilogy came out within three years time frame. Within these three years, it won the market in a way that made it second to the Bible by the number of sell (100 million copies are sold so far). Can you just imagine what that means?

Voice of America Radio Show

A4P Guest: Did you hear about the Voice of America radio show that was aired last Sunday, the show which went viral on all social media?

A4P: Yes, I did.

A4P Guest: How come you didn’t say anything about it?

A4P: What do you want me to say about it? Repeat what was aired on the show?

A4P Guest: No, but I was expecting you to mention it in a way to create awareness in the Christian community about this issue.

A4P: I thought that is exactly what I’ve been doing on this page since day one. Continue reading Voice of America Radio Show

2015 Premarital Class

Well, you know that I don’t like cold weather and snow. So, I’m not that much excited about winter season.

However I have one reason to be very excited about this season and that reason is our church’s yearly premarital class. This class is given every year from Jan to April for soon to be married couples. This is my seventh year to teach in this wonderful class.

I am thrilled to tell you that this year we have thirteen couples! And let me tell you something, the brides are the most beautiful girls you can ever find. I have no idea where these young men found these cute girls. If you want to learn something from these handsome men as to how to find a cute girl, you can come and ask them, I think. Continue reading 2015 Premarital Class

Whether there is snow outside or not, it is Sun-Day today! And I love it!

Wow! What a week! May the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised! Let His Name be famous in and through us forever!

May His name be praised forever for the victories He gave us this past week! What a joy to be with Him! What a privilege it is to wage a war in His Name!

And today is the beginning of another brand new week. And, don’t you want to start your week in the church? I do! Church is always in the heart of Jesus. He died for Her and soon to come to take her, to make her His own forever.

We may not find a perfect church; actually we will never find one perfect church that meets all our needs, requirements, criteria and everything else. If there was a perfect church, Jesus wouldn’t need to die on the cross. He died because the church needs a Savior. Continue reading Whether there is snow outside or not, it is Sun-Day today! And I love it!

Questions on the post titled “Sex on Skype”

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 . . .

A4P: Use Skype for what? Continue reading Questions on the post titled “Sex on Skype”

Roe V. Wade – 01/22/1973

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:

Wow! Who can tell a woman not to count the age of her baby’s age; the baby she didn’t give a chance to live???? No one! ///
