They could indeed find meaning and purpose in life, but first they had to commit to following Him as ...read more

     | 5,887 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.
