A4P Guest: “Whenever my wife and I have a conflict, my wife sleeps on the sofa in the living room.”
A4P: When did she start doing that?
A4P Guest: From day one of our marriage. We’re now married for ten years and that is how she’s always been reacting to conflicts.
A4P: Why did you let her do that for ten years and what makes you think that she can change her ten year-old habit within a two-hour counseling session?
Take home message: Don’t be an “enabler” of a wrong or bad habit of others. Make it a big deal the first time you see it so that it won’t continue happening. You make it a big deal because it is a big deal. ///
If you are a Christian and you want to know if there is such a thing as “Christian dating”, proper for a Christian, the answer is sure there is. But before I say anything about the typical, honorable “Christian dating”, I have to define what “Christian” means so that the definition itself will be a ground upon which I build my case.
Until we start owning up our mistakes, wrongful characters and motives, laziness, sinful choices and destructive habits, we won’t experience victory in our lives. Most of the time, we find ourselves directing our energy and time in rebuking Satan. But if we channel that same energy to own up our part in the problem, we’ll be on our way to victory because our “gun” is directing at the right target. There is a right time and place to rebuke Satan.
I’ve been meditating on this passage (Psalm 20:1-5) since morning and they are blessing my heart beyond measure. So, I thought it would be nice to share it with you all before I step out of my house to go to church.
After we had our first son, I was a little confused and depressed. Before the baby, the only two people I was living for were the man I loved to death (I still do love him to death), my Berhan, and myself. My Berhan has never needed my help for him to live. So, my life was a breeze! Continue reading Today is the Day!→
“What is special about this girl that I keep on being drawn in to” was the question he raised to himself after he tried to call her for the third time in one day.
“Is she ignoring my call or is she not interested to talk to me?” He didn’t like the fact that he was on the other side of the equation, the one who was being ignored. Continue reading The Prodigal Son→
It was summer but the church I was invited to speak was in Europe and their summer was not as hot as here in DC. I enjoyed it but truth to be told, I was very thankful for the DC summer.
I didn’t know anyone in that church. Almost everybody in the congregation was seeing me for the very first time. I couldn’t even find one person who knew me of course except the people who invited me to speak.
I was very thankful that their leaders didn’t ask me question like “what is your topic for today?” That is just not a good question for me especially after knowing about my ministry. Without detail introduction, the minster gave me the mic and I stood behind the pulpit. Continue reading A Man After God’s Own Heart→
That sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it? But, it is not paradoxical. Satan doesn’t like anything or anybody that becomes a reason to bring glory to God and His Truth. And that is exactly what sex is.
Buckle your seat belt and continue reading.
Does sex bring glory to God? Yes, it does.
Sex is the only “one” possible way two people, one woman and one man, can become one. God created Adam and saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone (Genesis 2:18). So God took Eve out of Adam, “fashioned” her and gave her to Adam as “a suitable helper”. Because she was taken from Adam (from one of his bones), the Bible says: “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) Continue reading Satan Hates Sex→
When a man desires a woman for his sexual fantasy, he doesn’t desire her for marriage. After he plays with her body, he categorizes her into his “not a marriage material” list.
Amazingly enough some women understand this fact the other way around. After they give their body, they think that the man is theirs to keep. It doesn’t work that way. Beloved, don’t let the movies fool you. Men love and RESPECT a woman who respects herself enough never to let anyone touch her body until marriage. ///
(As part of the Appeal for Purity’s two year anniversary celebration, which is going to be on Oct. 31, I will re-post some of my previous short and long posts. By doing that, those who are new to this page will get a chance to read it. The above note was originally posted on January 14, 2014.)
You know, I always say that I wish it could be possible to record God’s presence in a camera. But sitting down and watching this video more than four times, I realize that God’s presence is in fact always found in His Word whether His Word and truth come through a live seminar or a video clip. I find myself pretty much being overwhelmed by God’s presence and became in tears every time I watch this.
I pray God speaks to your heart and soul through the message.
The second session of this seminar was not recorded; that means I don’t have any more video clips of this seminar. ///
