One day, Nicodemus came to Jesus at night with a word of encouragement. Most Jews during that time were pushing, shuffling and rejecting Jesus and His teachings. But Nicodemus came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” (John 3:2)
If I were next to Jesus as one of His Disciples, I would have first hugged Nicodemus and said, “Bravo! Spot on, Nicodemus! While others denied that Jesus came from God, here you are saying the exact thing Jesus has been trying to tell everyone. Good for you, brother! Take five! Well, you are one of us then! Come and join us for dinner!”
Well, Jesus didn’t respond to Nicodemus like that, not even close. This was Jesus’ reply: “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” (John 3:3) Continue reading Wow! Nicodemus didn’t talk about that!
A4P Guest: I’m a 26 year old girl. I’ve been seeing this guy I met in my church since last May. He recently have asked me to have sex with him and I made it clear for him that I would keep my virginity until marriage. When I said that to him, he chuckled and said, “It’s not common to find a girl like you, virgin at 26. It feels very weird.” After we had this conversation, he hasn’t been calling me that much. Missy, I so far lost three men over this same issue; they all have asked me to have sex and I’ve said no and they all have walked away. I’m now going to lose this guy the one I adore. What do you advise me to do? Why do these men ask me to have sex with them while they themselves are born-again Christians and know that sex before marriage is a sin?
A44: Well, after reading your question, I can’t help but think why you want to remain a virgin until marriage. So, can you tell me why? Continue reading Help! I’m going to lose my opportunity to get married!
May the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised forever! The closer I come to God, the farthest away I’m getting from the things of this world and I love it! May His Name alone be praised! The Bible says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8 (NKJV) Continue reading Good Tuesday to all of you!
I praise the Name of Jesus Christ for helping me be on my feet again!
Thank you to all of you who heard about my illness and prayed for me! God is a merciful God! Devil may try to attack me; but you know what excites me the most? In what kind of speed God always rushes in and turns things around and makes me stand in victory at the presence of my enemy!
So, this past weekend, once again, I learned that no purpose of God can be thwarted. (Job 42:2) Continue reading We had a Great Weekend!

– – – teenagers! Why? I live with three teenagers, day in and day out! These “creatures” of God always keep you young with their fresh perspective in life; with their creative way of coming up with a seamlessly silly idea which is a solution for a big problem. I love them very much! If you misunderstand them, of course, they will totally drive you nuts! Their language is obviously different from us, adults, but if you hear them carefully, they are actually communicating something very important, such as what is going on in their hearts. When you want to be close to them, they push you away but at the same time, they need you to be close to them. I know that is paradoxical but that is how these people roll!
Anyways, our next contestant for the competition is a fifteen year old, and I have to add, a handsome and fine young man from Bloomington, Minnesota.
His name is Fraol Bekele. Continue reading My number one Favorite A4P’s Fans are – – –
A beautiful day such as today makes me want to meditate the Word of God even more. Here is the Word I’m meditating on since last Monday: “To fear the Lord is to hate evil” (Proverbs 8:13a)
For me personally, looking at a bright and beautiful sun early in the morning is like, listening to an anointed preacher speaking on a topic called “A Lasting Hope!” Seriously I love bright and sunny mornings! I see them as signs of God’s unfailing mercy and grace! Hallelujah! Please don’t ask me about snowy and rainy seasons. I’m not sure their meaning and I don’t appreciate them both!
