Act Like Men FOR REAL - Don't Waste Your Life!

Corinthians 16:13 AMPC
[13] Be alert and on your guard; stand firm in your faith (your conviction respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, keeping the trust and holy fervor born of faith and a part of it). Act like men and be courageous; grow in strength!

As soon as they stop performing, their identities — and ours — disappear.
