The Bible undoubtedly places women on an equal footing with men in relation to God. However, the Bible never says that women are inferior to men, nor does it suggest that women should submit to male domination. Both men and women are made “in the image of God” as equal representatives of their Creator. A Christian wife is a believer in Jesus Christ. This married woman’s priorities in life are clear. She puts godly living at the centre of her attention and makes it a priority in any relationship, including marriage. A godly woman has come to the conclusion that pleasing and obeying God is more important to her than temporary pleasures and joys, and she eagerly seeks to glorify God as a self-sacrificing woman. A Christian woman lives by this principle: “Do not be selfish or show off. Be humble and consider others better than yourselves. “Look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). Following this principle will end most marital arguments and conflicts. Since we are inherently selfish, we must crucify our pride with Jesus Christ and ask Him to help us be the best we can be for our spouse.

The role of parents in young people's marriage: First, we must accept that parents are the most experienced people with young people. They have learned many truths by going through the ups and downs of life and can be the best support in sensitive moments. In marriage, wrong decisions can have serious consequences, and the presence of wise parents can prevent many mistakes. Parents are useful and constructive when: They speak out of compassion, not out of fear or prejudice. Parents play a role in the decision to marry, but they must accept that the child also has will and reason. When parents listen to the child's opinion with respect, they actually trust him, and trust is the foundation of a strong family relationship.

Wounded people do not have a happy song; but if they learn to sing praises to God and sing through their wounds, they will be healed. There will come a time in your life when it seems that God has abandoned you and you say to yourself: God, where are you? Why don't you speak to me? Why have you forsaken me? How painful is this story of the bride and her cries that no one heard; it has even become a tradition among our families, people and country. These cries have driven thousands of people away from God, not closer! But in the chaos of Golgotha, a painful cry was heard in a soft language that no one understood. (Ili, Ili, lama sabachthani) This cry was not a sad cry, but a prayer from the bottom of the heart to God. It was a song of psalms and heartbreak that arose thousands of years ago from the heart of the prophet David. May we not make anyone hurt or wounded today and not interfere in the lives of others. Instead, let's be grateful, loving, and loving towards them.

Pakistan carried out several airstrikes on targets in Kabul and eastern Afghanistan, in Nangarhar and Paktika provinces, resulting in the deaths of scores of civilians. The Taliban-led Afghan government condemned the attacks as a “blatant violation of Afghanistan’s territorial integrity” and a violation of international law, stating that they had hit civilian homes, a religious school, and other non-military structures, killing scores of people (including women and children) and leaving others missing under the rubble. Afghan officials promised an “appropriate and measured response” at the appropriate time.

We must keep in mind that in human life, there is both happiness and sadness. One more thing to remember is that in times of sadness and heartache, we should never despair, and in the same way, in times of happiness and joy, we should not become arrogant and neglect God. Let us try to rely on God in both situations; because God is with us in every situation. Life is like a sea. Some days its water is calm and some days it has waves. Both sadness and happiness are part of our life, but we must always be strong and our eyes should be on God.

Kabul is the administrative and political centre of Afghanistan, located at 1,791 metres above sea level in a long, narrow valley between the Hindu Kush Mountains and extending along the Kabul River. Kabul's main products include fruits and nuts, Afghan carpets, leather and sheepskin products, local clothing and furniture, and copies of ancient products. The 1978–2001 wars disrupted this industry and caused significant damage to the economy. All ethnic groups and nationalities live together in Kabul. Kabul's climate is mild and mountainous.

Herati kechari is made with rice, mung beans, onions, and a little masala. Kechari is like steamed rice and is cooked together with mutton. To prepare it, first we fry the onion in oil until it turns brown or even slightly black, which changes the colour of the rice and makes it beautiful. Then we mix the rice and mung beans with onions and masala and let it simmer. The meat is also placed on the steamed rice to cook with the rice. This dish is very delicious and its smell makes the head hungry.

Marriage is one of the most sacred covenants that God has ordained for humans. In this covenant, two people make a covenant to be together in good times and bad, in times of need and in times of abundance, and to build a healthy and strong family with love and faith. In some areas, it is still customary for girls and boys to get married at a young age. Although the families' intentions may be good, these types of marriages often lead to big problems. You may ask why? Because a teenager who has not yet reached intellectual maturity cannot take on the responsibility of a family. Early marriage is like a fruit that is picked before it ripens; it may look good, but its taste is bitter.

Agriculture and livestock are not only the source of our food and livelihood, but also the foundation of a nation's economic, cultural and social stability. If the land is fertile, its people are at peace; and if the land becomes dry and barren, poverty, hunger and despair cast a shadow over society. Agriculture and livestock are not just a source of bread, but a link between man, the land and God. With awareness, faith and work, young people can transform dry land into a flower garden. Every seed that is planted is a message of hope; and every sheep or cow that is raised is a sign of divine provision and blessing. The earth is a mother. If we love it, it will return a thousandfold. We must convince our young people that shovels and picks are not tools of poverty, but rather a sign of dignity and hard work.

Christians also fast, but not for a reward or for forgiveness. Christians fast to focus on prayer. Fasting in Christianity is a voluntary, heartfelt, and personal act of drawing closer to God, repenting, and strengthening the soul, which often involves abstaining from meat, dairy products, or limiting meals. Christian fasting does not have a uniform, mandatory rule. It may involve forgoing food altogether, restricting the type of food, or giving up some habits. In Christianity, fasting is not a show. It is done in secret so that only God knows. Nowhere in the Holy Injeel or the New Testament is there any recommendation for how long to fast.

We must love our personal enemies, those who have wronged us personally. We must forgive our ill-wishers in our personal relationships. But this does not mean that we approve of the sinful and cruel ways of the ungodly or that we remain silent in the face of their corruption, sins, injustices, and oppression. We must strive to spread God’s justice on earth; we must push back the darkness as light; so that our hearts may be illuminated and gladdened by listening to the Word of God. Hearing, listening, and keeping the true Word of God is what produces faith. We must hate sin, but love the sinner. We must not ignore the Word of God, but we must listen carefully, remember, and keep it. This is where God comforts us, heals us, and makes us happy when hardship and pain come to us. It is very important that we resolve the wars and quarrels between husbands and wives, between families, and between brothers and sisters with patience according to the Word of God. Let's not fan the fire like others do, to the point of spreading what happened between two people and spreading it to others.

How can we be influential and create positive change among young people? This may seem overwhelming at first, but the truth is that each of us, with every ability and in every position, has the capacity to make a difference. The truth is that in today's world and in our society, young people are under a lot of pressure. Pressures that are sometimes hidden from the eyes of others. One of the biggest problems is a feeling of confusion and aimlessness. Many young people are on a path where they do not know where they are going. They ask themselves what their purpose in life is? In a world where values ​​and criteria for success change every day, it is very difficult to find a clear and consistent path. This confusion can lead to despair and lack of motivation. Ultimately, the most important thing we can give young people is "hope". Hope for a better future, hope in their own abilities and faith that they are not alone on this path.

Easter, or the Resurrection of Christ, is the most important Christian holiday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion on Good Friday. This day symbolises victory over death and the beginning of a new creation. Resurrection is the main foundation of the Christian faith, and according to the Gospel, Christ rose from the dead on the third day after being buried and appeared to his disciples. After his resurrection, Jesus Christ remained on earth for 40 days and then ascended to heaven.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ has good news not only for two thousand years ago but also for today and even for our life after physical death. For us who follow Jesus Christ today, this is no longer just a hope that we want to say that maybe one day God will have mercy on us, but a truth that God has promised that if Christ rose from the dead, we will also rise and live with God forever. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most important concepts of the Christian

People celebrate Nowruz not only in Afghanistan, but all the countries in the region celebrate their own diverse traditions with joy. Children are especially happy on this day. Because on this day, on Nowruz day, they go out with their families to see their friends and relatives. They eat all kinds of Nowruz sweets and cookies. They have fun and play with their friends. They enjoy seeing flowers, beautiful blossoms, and singing birds.

The Turkmen are one of the oldest tribes in Afghanistan. They live mostly in the north of the country, such as Jawzjan, Faryab, and Sar-e-Pul. The Turkmen cuisine is very delicious and nutritious. One of their most famous dishes is "Chakdarmeh." Chakdarmeh is a delicious type of rice that is made with rice, meat, and onions, and a clove of garlic is also placed between the rice. They cook all these ingredients in their own way in a pot. The Turkmen clothes are very special and beautiful. Turkmen women wear Darz clothes decorated with colourful and floral designs, and a type of hat that is tied around their heads, which is called "Takht." They are also the best carpet weavers.

So we who are strong should bear the weaknesses of the weak and not just please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbour for his good and edification. Those who are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually wounded and in trouble; we should behave with them in humility and patience like a good neighbour. Instead of seeking only to please ourselves, we should carry the burdens of the weak. Those who are alone in life should inquire about their well-being, with a love and a smile, their hearts and souls should rejoice. Let us behave like the good Samaritan so that we may enter the kingdom and kingdom of God. Our goal should not be selfishness, but the goodness of others and their edification in God. The little Jewish girl who was taken captive by the Arameans caused a great historical change. She not only affected the life, physical health, and faith of Naaman the general, but also the relations between the two neighbouring countries. How good it is to pray for our neighbouring countries and seek their peace, tranquilly, and health. Today, in our country, we have many wounded people and neighbours who pass by his side. Now you too, raise your voice, even though you seem small and insignificant, or perhaps you are limited and your voice is weak, but bring your voice to the suffering of the wounded.

In the New Testament, baptism is performed in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Baptism is a sign of the believer’s repentance, the forgiveness of his sins, and his cleansing from sin. Baptism is also a sign of the believer’s union with Jesus Christ. When the believer is baptised, he shares in the death of Christ. He dies to sin and his old, sinful nature. At the same time, he shares in the resurrection of Jesus. Through faith, he receives new spiritual life. Finally, baptism is a sign that we have become members of the body of Christ. In short, baptism is a sign that we have received salvation. We receive all these blessings of baptism through faith in Christ.

Truthfulness and honesty are among the greatest moral and innate virtues that harmonise speech and behaviour with reality, leading to social trust, self-esteem, and psychological peace. A truthful person is loved by everyone and their words are trusted. A truthful person always has a clear conscience. Truthfulness is a golden rule. When we tell the truth, we show others that we respect them. So, truthfulness is a sign of loyalty to God and helps build a good relationship based on trust and justice.

Where do you run to in times of need? When hardship, worry, and fear follow you like hounds, when temptation, corruption, and Satan are trying to overwhelm you and you can no longer run; where and where do you turn? Those who fear God and obey His Word always trust and rely on Him. It is only God who brings us from darkness to the light of His light. For His name is a strong tower and a safe refuge. What is the problem? Why don't we run to the arms of the all-sufficient and all-powerful God in whom are all things. Perhaps the reason is that you don't really know the true God as He is in the Bible? Let us lay our heads in the loving arms of the God of love, Jesus Christ, to receive true peace. Like a deer that lays its head on the chest of a fearless person and is assured of His protection, trust, and grace.
