Rev. Richard Phillips  | The Masculine Mandate: Cultivating and Protecting the Essence of Biblical Masculinity
By Richard Phillips
"When
I became a Christian, however, I learned that not every manly saying in
John Wayne movies should be adopted. "Never apologize" may sound great
in theory, but in practice it can combine with a man's sin nature to
make him overbearing and arrogant. As I became more familiar with
Scripture, I learned about two different words that do a far better job
of summarizing how a man should live. These are: "work" and "keep."
Taken together, these two words serve as a summary of the Bible's
mandate for masculine behavior."

guys really do a wonderful job putting these conferences together."

did, too." He also said he's taking the worship music back to his home
church. In emailing men of his church about his experience at the conference, Rob said, "I don't know where to
begin, but WOW seems appropriate!...I am still getting
great feedback on the different speakers and how incredible everyone thought
things went."
