    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.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:21-22). There once was a famous inventor who unveiled a new invention. He ...read more
