    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 10, 2020
     | 9,495 views

    Paul says to men: If you want to be a real man, “stand firm in the faith!” Men are to stand firm in both holding and defending the truths of the Gospel.

    On an Internet discussion board I found the following comments: Designer duds, hair gel, waxing appointments, manicures, and facials -- once upon a time, these terms were only associated with women, but nowadays, it seems, men are spending more time and money on looking good. Do the men you know ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,681 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.
