One of the most important roles that a Christian man can play in his church is to sing. Yes, that’s right. I’m not talking about being on the worship team. That takes a great amount of skill.

An important skill for successful living is knowing what to forget and what to remember. For example, it is critical that we men remember our wife’s birthday but forget her age. Humorous, but it is so true!
