so you're going to use that opportunity to go and and document these kids with your street ghetto philosophy

a certain point if you raise your level of income to the status of a rock star then uh-huh that's right

then you got to keep coming up with ways to maintain that status.

I mean, I'm not even saying eat meat, but at least put some cereal in the milk.

Come on.

That's like taking 666, the mark of the beast, and redefining it like Biggie tried to do

and saying, no, it means this or that no six six six you can call it holy six six six six but it's still the mark of the beast

convenient whether it's welcome or unwelcome you as as preacher of the word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.

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

Ignoring lives many times because of our past upbringing and decision making.

We live in what?

Because of your past, your upbringing, and decision making.

We live in denial.

We just can't see the elephant in the room because we don't want to.

We don't want to see the elephant because if you see the elephant, you got to deal with it.

So we don't want to.

And I made up in my mind when I was young.

I think I was 18 and 19 years old.

And some things were going on

and I was just out, you know, just really just at the lowest point of my life. And I made up in my mind that I'm not going to live in denial.

Because denial at that time was hurting me. So I said, you know, I'm just not going to do this. I'm just going to deal with stuff. You know what I'm saying? And I felt the Spirit of the Lord even tell me at that age that

people aren't going to like you because of that. I really did. You're not going to ever fit in
