“Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4, ESV)
Delight means “great pleasure.” Continue reading Great Pleasure

Men Who Kept Mistresses
I read these two books, “Battling Unbelief” and “John Calvin” both written by John Piper, this week and I can’t tell you how the Spirit of God ministered to my soul. Continue reading Men Who Kept Mistresses
Old Habits Die Hard
When we come to Christ, some of our longstanding “bad and destructive” habits instantly disappear and we say, “I used to smoke cigarette and right after I invited Jesus Christ into my life, my desire to smoke cigarette totally disappeared. I even tried to smoke but it didn’t feel the same. I hated it. So, from that day on, I quit smoking.”
Don’t you love hearing this kind of testimony? I do! Continue reading Old Habits Die Hard
Shake the Dust off Your Feet
A4P Guest: Hi Missy, I love listening to your video messages and reading your blogs. You have no idea how God has been ministering to me through your channel. May God bless you! I always pray for you and Appeal for Purity. I have one question though. So, I have one small Bible study group that I go to every week and I encourage all my Bible study group members to watch your videos and read your posts but some of them are totally against your messages. They think that your message is not good for born again Christians. None of the men in my Bible study ever watched any of your videos. And every time I bring up a topic you addressed in one of your videos or blogs, they get irritated. I am not sure how to encourage them to embrace Appeal for Purity. What do you advise me?
Your Wife LEGALLY
A4P Guest: I lived outside of Ethiopia since 2000. Last time I went back home was in 2011. I met this amazing girl at that time and fell in love with her instantly. We couldn’t spend much time together since I had to come back in short period of time. Before I went for vacation, I told my friends that I was going to meet my future wife and told them that I wouldn’t touch her except shaking her hands and that was exactly what I did. It’s been more than three years now and we are still together. We are actually more in love now than back then. I’m planning to bring her down here anytime soon. My eyes are dying to see her. I missed her so much. My question is when she arrives here, she only has me. I don’t want to sin against God and I’m a bit worried. I don’t even know if I can kiss her before we get married. I’ve already made my mind to propose to her. I just want to know if we can start kissing after I propose to her. What do you think about that?
Refreshing and Rejuvenating
I am very excited about this seminar because oh, my friends, building marriages is one of the works of the Holy Spirit and when we take this work seriously, guess what?
The Spirit of God moves!
“They Cheated on Me”
A4P Guest: I am seeing a nice, loving guy. I am 27 and he is 30. He proposed to me a month ago and I am struggling now to live with my decision.
A4P: What is your decision?
A4P Guest: I said “Yes” when he proposed.
A4P: And? Continue reading “They Cheated on Me”
Giving Each Other Silent Treatment
Sure we all fight with our spouses. But when we fight, we have to make sure that we fight in the right way, biblical way. Continue reading Giving Each Other Silent Treatment
I AM WHO I AM
“I am” is the name God calls Himself with. When God sent Moses to the Israelites, Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
“God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”” (Exodus 3:13-14)
To Newly Married Couples
You know, I am now in a place where I am surrounded by so many people. While I am trying to interact with others, one thought keeps coming into my mind. This is not the first time this particular thought came to my mind. So while people here (I assume) are thinking that I’m texting someone, let me quickly leave this two cents worth of advice to newly young married couples.
Here we go! Continue reading To Newly Married Couples
