Big houses, big wedding parties, new cars, brand clothing, getting married, having a wonderful sex with the person we are deeply in love with, having kids, etc, all these things will ultimately let us down.

From Toronto to Maryland!
Praise God! It is always good to be back to Maryland. I had a wonderful time in Toronto, Canada.
First, I wanna say, “Happy Birthday” to my lovely little one, Biruk Banko, my youngest son, who is celebrating his 14th birthday today. Happy birthday my handsome son!
I Am Crying Out of Joy
I am shedding tears of joy now and I want y’all to cry with me.
I don’t want to spoil the story. Just watch this video.
Who Tremble at My Word
God loves humble people because humble people don’t have entitlement spirit. They don’t come to God and demand blessing but they humbly ask for mercy.
Praying to Ethiopia
Praying to Ethiopia and all the families and friends of Ethiopians who lost their lives.
Oh, Lord, remember Ethiopia as You remembered Sara! I lift my people, all Ethiopians, to you in prayer! Have mercy on us for the sake of our fathers and mothers who faithfully sought you and are seeking You even now; above all, have mercy on us all for the sake of Your Son, our only Hope, Jesus Christ. ///
“We have freedom to express our love”
A4P Guest: I’m 26 years old and my boyfriend is 29. We both go to the same church and we are active in our church. My boyfriend teaches in the young adult’s ministry and I am one of the worship leaders in the adult’s congregation. My boyfriend and I don’t really believe that God is against our pleasure. If God is the One who has given us our desires, we believe that there is no way for Him to be against it. So we both have mutual understanding in this area and we have freedom to express our love to one another whenever we want to. We watch some videos to help us do that too. We are now getting married in March of 2017 and I was wondering if you can give us some premarital counseling so we know about marriage before we decide to find ourselves in it.

“I want you dead!”
If you didn’t run into Gawvi’s song “Late Nights” – the first song he released from his soon to be released album “Lost in Hue Ep,” here is the link:

You have no idea how many times I hear this song a day. You know I love hip-hop Gospel songs. Oh, yes, I do!
Do Not Gloat Over Me!
We all have that season of life where we feel like hopeless and helpless. The sin that is crouching at our door seems more powerful than the Word we have in our hearts.
Does Age Difference Matter in a Marriage?
We can’t afford to ignore this issue just because it makes some people feel uncomfortable, can we? No, we can’t. And I believe, this issue matters more for those who are yet in the process of finding their lifelong partner than the people who already are married.
Let me first say this: As far as I know, there is no “age-difference” topic in the Bible. So, this is a simple answer for anyone who may ask for a Bible reference for the points I’m about to make. Some people argue, “If the Bible ignores this issue, we don’t need to talk about it.” And some say, “What matters the most is how much the couple loves each other.” Hmm! I better leave these lines of reasoning right here and move on to my point, not because I don’t want to deal with them but I may easily get sidetracked from the point I wanna make today trying to address them.
Is the Devil Out of His Mind?
I’m studying the book of Jeremiah during my morning devotion, but for some reason, these days I want to listen to the four Gospels whenever I get a chance to be in my car. So, yesterday afternoon, I was listening to the Gospel according to Matthew while driving to go somewhere.
After I listened to the first three chapters and the first part of chapter four, I totally zoned out, thinking of these two verses: “Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” (Matthew 4:8-9)
I felt like I’ve never read this passage before. I said: What? Who is offering what to Who here? Hold on a second! Is the devil out of his mind for trying to tempt Jesus this way?
