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

Okay, so, well, let's open up with prayer.

Let's buy heads.

Father God, we just thank you, Lord.

We thank you, we praise you, we give you glory, and we give you honor.

Thanking you, God, for this

night, this opportunity to come together as men. Thank you, Father God, for all of the wonderful

things you've done for all of us. Father God, good times, bad times, whatever it is. You have

been consistent and solid. You are while we live, move, have our being, you are while we're here.

So we just thank you, Lord, and I pray that this message find its way in each and every one of our

lives, God, to help us with this subject matter. So Father God, we can avoid pitfalls and

issues and failures and just all kind of things we can avoid these

things and continue to walk the path that you've called us to walk in Jesus name we pray amen

amen all right lovers of self. This is going to be real quick, but I think this is something that we're all seeing more and more of now. The whole self-is God movement that has come over our world, come over our people, come over our leaders, people

just investing in who they are loving themselves. That's a part of Satan's agenda. Satan knows

if he can make us love ourselves enough, then our love for the things of God will diminish. Because once you get on the

road of loving yourself to the point of pleasing yourself, then you will be in the flesh. And we just

talked about the flesh war. You'll lose the flesh war when you're constantly trying to please yourself.

So we want to make sure we understand the scripture.

I got this picture up because I had this in one of my earlier videos back in the early 2000s and I still can't believe it.

Like, isn't that something? Look at that picture. That's crazy.

That's crazy. So you're dressed as the fallen angel and everybody is lifting their hands up
