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

But as I was up talking to our band that was Sunday morning, and we were just having a conversation and we were just talking.

Oh, I just, you know, these are the good guys.

And I started thinking about the whole crew here, of the men and how you know the world has

made it you know they celebrate bad guys like you know the bad the bad swag the thug the you know

all of that they raised that image up like it was a cool thing macho the dude that had all the

women to do you know they celebrated all that in music and movies and different things and

now they're taking all those guys down that's the devil just taking them down one by one

and so you know god began to deal with me.

Like, you know, talk to the men and let them know it's okay to be good.

It's okay to be a good guy.

It's okay to practice goodness.

No matter how mad you get, it's okay to forgive and not fight.

Amen. Not be a brawler you don't not depend on what somebody did but there's just a bunch of talk and all of that I mean you just have to just move on let it go

and and and forgive and and do good be the good guy

you know just let it go and that's you know kind of something that god has been dealing with me

with so i want to walk you out through this real quick and um if you have questions at the end we'll we'll deal with them but it's okay to be good

goodness is a fruit of god's spirit goodness is love and action so we can all say we love but unless

you're doing good toward someone you don't love them so you can't't say, I forgive them and yeah, I love them and

you still saying it like that. You know that. I don't know. I forgave him. Then, you know,

goodness is love and action. Like if you really love them, you're going to let it go and just

let the goodness of the Lord
