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

Amen.

But defining ourselves in 2012, natural versus spiritual.

Many times when we grow up with deficits, we lose sight of our natural purpose in search of a spiritual one. Did y'all hear that? Now that makes

all the sense in the world. We grow up with a deficit. So something was wrong when we grew up.

We grew up under a divorce. We grew up under a single parent. We grew up under a situation. Maybe

your daddy was a mason. Maybe whatever. you were molested, a rate, something. Something

weird happened while you were growing up. So that put insecurity in you. So when

insecurities in you, you're not secure. So you're always seeking to force some kind of security.

And most of the time, you find that security in the approval of people

so you want people to approve of you because something happened to you that made you down on

yourself or feel bad about yourself and now you need the applause of people you need the stamp of

approval from somebody this is why young girls 12, 10 years old looking for a boyfriend.

Because they need an approval. They need somebody to say that they're cute because there

was no father there to do it. Somebody hurt them emotionally. And they're looking for somebody to say

that. That's why young, young boys, same thing. Need a whole bunch of girls and need to sleep

with a bunch of girls so he can prove to himself that he's really something because he has a deficit.

He's not secure within himself.

Amen?

But we must realize that our natural purpose comes before our spiritual one.

I know a lot of people don't agree with that.

But our natural purpose comes before our spiritual one. I know a lot of people don't agree with that. But our natural purpose comes before our spiritual one.
