Another Stupidity On My Part
Have I ever told you how much I love my husband? I haven’t, have I?
I don’t think so. Hold on a second! Let me scroll down and check.
Okay, I haven’t since the beginning of November. Continue reading Another Stupidity On My Part
Healthy Childhood But – – –
A4P Guest: I am a born again Christian man. I am 22 years old, a senior in one of Universities in Ethiopia. I lead a Christian fellowship in campus. I’ve been following you, probably, since day one. I grew up in church and I don’t exactly know when I came to Christ. The only thing I am sure of is that I am in Christ, not in the world. I have devoted Christian families. Both my parents serve in the local church. I have one younger sister. I have a healthy childhood as far as I can remember. I am telling you this so you know my background. I heard many people saying, “People who have problems with porn have no healthy background and childhood history.” So, my story is a bit different. My background is good and healthy. Here is my question. I struggle with porn for the last five years. I tried pretty much everything, praying, fasting, crying and confessing my sin to brothers but I’m still in it. I sometimes come to it once a month and sometimes, every day, trying to take over my entire life. I get too obsessed with it 24/7. I love God and want to follow Christ faithfully. I have no desire to be in the world. All my visions and dreams are to live and die for the glory of God but this thing is in my life. Where shall I go? Where is my healing? I don’t want to quit fighting but at the same time, I am tired! Very tired and frustrated. Does God care? Continue reading Healthy Childhood But – – –
Act Like Little “gods”
The LORD’s prayer is something we Christians tend to see as a creed or benediction but it is much more than that. It is actually an outline of prayers, a set of prayers that shows us the most effective way of not only to pray but also expectations, attitudes and mindsets to have when we approach the throne of the Most High God in prayer.
Let’s see for today only one line of the LORD’s prayer: Continue reading Act Like Little “gods”
Man Forsaking God
Today I read 2 Chronicles 15. I mean, I studied this chapter but I also listened to the Book of Romans.
My friends, I can’t tell you how much I love the Book of Romans. It was the first book that the Holy Spirit opened my spiritual eyes to understand for the first time while I was in my bedroom in New Delhi, India, in the middle of the night. (Please don’t ask, “When?” It was 100 years ago.) Continue reading Man Forsaking God
Living Together Before Marriage
Cohabitation (living together before marriage) seemed to be the topic of old times. We hear a message about cohabitation rarely in churches.
Why?
“It offends many people! We shouldn’t offend people, we should lovingly call them to Christ.” Continue reading Living Together Before Marriage
Joy In My Heart For Sharing
John MacArthur is the man of God that I adore and pray for God to lengthen his days on this earth because he is very much needed for the Bride of Christ.
The Battle Cry (“ፉከራ”)
Whenever I read the Bible, I sometimes catch myself zooming in on one word or phrase and can’t move forward.
Today, I read 2 Chronicles 13 and the phrase that stopped me in the middle was this: “the battle cry,” on verse 15.
First, I wrestled with the phrase for a few minutes but the only thing I was able to come up with was the literal meaning of the words, battle and cry. But the literal meaning of those words didn’t sync or flow with the context of the chapter.
“Shishak” is Sent By God
This morning I read 2 Chronicles 12 and you have no idea how this chapter spoke to my heart.
Look at this verse:
“Then the prophet Shemaiah came to Rehoboam [the King of Judah, he is King Solomon’s son] and to the leaders of Judah who had assembled in Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the Lord says, ‘You have abandoned me; therefore, I now abandon you to Shishak.’”” Verse 5
You know, when God takes us as His own, He means serious business.
Going With the Tide
There is no Christianity by going with the tide.
Another name for a Christian is “holy,” means, different, set apart from the world for the sole purpose of proclaiming/declaring the goodness and glory of God, the God who called us out of darkness into His wonderful and marvelous light. Continue reading Going With the Tide
