We're going to get some insight into the warnings that Jesus gave us about people pleasing

and about being very, very careful when we look around us and a lot of people are really pleased with us

because he's saying, I'm going to tell you something.

A lot of people have been pleased with a whole lot of false profits along

the way.

So remember, we're getting some for real rehab for approval addicts, and we're learning

that it doesn't have to do with numbers.

We could be as addicted to the approval of one person as someone else is to a full public

of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

That it's all about whether or not we are in bondage to please to get human approval from anyone

more so than we want the approval of God.

That is what we're after.

And we talked about some of the reasons why,

and that some of the biggest wreckage in our life experiences have come from decisions we've made

out of nothing but trying to get people's approval. And we're learning that if that's the

way we're going to live, we really don't even know who we are.

Because what we've done so far is we've just adapted and morphed

into whatever we needed to be to either be accepted, be approved,

or best of all in this culture, be applauded.

And so in doing that, we have lost touch with who God is, what he can do, and what he has made us. So I want you to hear with me, let's, I'm going to have
