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

Toxic people in your life usually do these four things. First, toxic people most of the time,

they just want to be you. And I had a preacher tell me one time. He spotted that with somebody that was in my life at one time.

And he said, man, he said, be careful of that dude.

And I said, why?

He said, it's one thing to want to be like you.

But it's a whole different thing when somebody wants to be you.

When they want to be you, there's only room for one you.

Yeah, so people that admire you and want to be like you, that's one thing.

But when they want to be you, that means they want to replace you.

That's what happened with Kane and Abel.

Kane wasn't trying to be like able.

Kane wanted to be able.

So he had to take Abel out of the picture.

I preach in here.

He told me that.

And I said, man, he don't know what he's talking about.

Boy, I should listen to him.

He was telling true.

Amen.

Because that's stuff I'm telling you, you got to be careful.

They're toxic. They're in your life. And, you know, folks know how to pretend that they're with you.
