We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Provoked to wrath. wrath and revenge go hand and hand. When we harbor wrath, it's very difficult to turn the other cheek when people have done us wrong. When you harbor wrath and anger, you can't turn the other cheek when people have done us wrong.

When you harbor wrath and anger, you can't turn the other cheek.

The minute someone does you wrong, you're ready to pounce.

You ready to act up and then you guys will get ready for your long apology.

See, that's my thing.

I don't like that long apology part.

I'd rather just think about it before I say it, so I won't have to regret it.

You know what I'm saying?

I'd rather just take my time, and I told them in Wednesday, if you're mad, give it a

couple of days.

Just give it a couple of days.

Your feelings hurt, just give it a couple of days before you act on it.

Because once you calm down and your adrenaline settles down, you're going to see, you know, I probably don't need to say that.

Probably don't need to do that because my wife and kids, they all here.

Some dumb might happen.

So I'm going to chill out.

Well, it's hard to do that when you're harboring wrath.

When you've been provoked to wrath by your father. Your mother, I tell y'all that all the time in here,

your mother, the Bible didn't say women provoke not your children of wrath because a woman can't provoke her child of wrath.

Just because of her nourishment and her being a nourisher, the child is always

forgiven toward their mother. Amen. You can be a crackhead mama, leave your kid on the street.
