Ephesians 5:21-6:4
We are talking about how you can have a fantastic family. This morning I'm going to talk to you a little bit about a fantastic family man.

Time Magazine, a few years ago, had a featured article on the difference between men and women. It talked about why men and women are different. The result of the article was, they were born that way. You can't get rid of it. Men and women are just different. Their brains are wired ...
