 A number of people have mistaken TLF as a dating group or body concerned with filial love. Ours is agape love and we do not do match-ups or marriages. 

We believe God is love and love is essential in our daily living.

Love is what makes us treat others right and build relationships.

Below is the opinion of someone on the issue of Valentine, tell us what you think about by posting a comment below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

FACTS AND BACKGROUNDS OF ‪#‎VALENTINE‬'S DAY CELEBRATIONS:

WHAT A SINCERE BIBLE CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VALENTINE'S DAY AND ITS CELEBRATION.

1. February 14 was an old celebration to JunoFebruata, the Roman goddess of sexual passion.

2. It included pairing adolescents by chance drawing for casual sex and going relationships.

3. Cupid was Roman god of love.

4. Lupercerlia, the celebration of Lupercus, the Roman god of fertility included casual sex, and marriage based on mere chance.

5. In 494AD, Pope Gelasius, perhaps wanting to obscure the pagan celebrations of JunoFebruata, Lupercus and Cupid, declared February 14 as Saint Valentine's Day.

6. St. Valentine was executed by Emperor Claudius II on 14th February 270AD for secretly wedding couples against his evil decree. Emperor Claudius II had banned all weddings in order to build his army for senseless wars.

7. The resurgence of the ancient immoral features of those Roman goddess in today celebration of St. Val's Day shows clearly that those Roman goddesses have reclaimed the day, and a sincere Christian should steer clear of this celebration, as nothing is saintly about it.

8. Our God commanded us to come out of Rome's religion and reject her sins ( Rev. 18:4).

9. Our God commanded us to come out of false religion and not even touch it ( 2Cor 6:14-17).

10. Christians have no agreement with winged red devils that shoot arrows of lust into hearts.

11. It honours infatuation and lust: both are contrary to Christian love ( 2Cor 13:4-7, Eph 5:25).

12. Only lust occurs by fiery darts in the heart; love is the conscious choice to serve one another.

13. Christians marry only in the Lord, and they are very sober about love ( 1Cor 7:39; 11:11).

14. We must make a statement against the fornication and lasciviousness of this generation.

15. Love is of God while lust is of man; therefore we will only celebrate love scripturally.

16. Valentine's Day is highly esteemed by men; so it must be an abomination to God. ( Luke 16:15).

17. We are totally against spiritual adultery by worldly associations ( James 4:4).

18. God condemns customs of other gods as abomination to Him. ( Ezekiel 8:1- 18).

God created love, sex and marriage; Valentine's Day honours lust, casual sex and chance. Jesus Christ is the Lord of heaven and earth; Romans pagan deities of Juno, Lupercus and Cupid are abominations to Him. Valentine's Day, which is a religious holy day is one of the devil's and world's devices to seduce you into spiritual adultery, where you will ignorantly make love with pagan idolatry and devil in the name of Christianity. God is jealous; He would not accept any pagan religious traditions, even if done to Him ( Deut. 12:1-4, 29-31). He expects you to come out and be separate ( 2Cor. 6: 14-18).

You need ‪#‎Jesus‬ as a sure source of strength to live a life of true love. Accept Him into your life as Lord and Saviour today. Close your eyes now and silently commit your life to Jesus.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
