Dear friend, being born male is just the beginning. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to become a true man, especially one who follows the teachings of God. To truly understand what it means to be a real man, we need to examine the differences between being a male and being a mature man.

Paralysis By Analysis

Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001

based on 104 ratings

| 4,028 views

He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more
