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

So they grew up in well-to-do situations.

Now, one mistake sometimes that people make when they're wealthy, when they're raising their children,

is they think that they can cause their children to escape the yields of society

with money.

So they put them in better schools.

They put them in, you know, they think that the money's going to do it and so they

spend so much time using their money that they forget to build character in the children,

right?

So the children grow up without character and they see what daddy has.

So the first thing they're thinking in their

mind is i have to have what dad has but they don't they don't understand the process it took for

their fathers to have the success that they have they don't understand the process as a matter

fact they want to expedite the process skip the process and have it instantly

and this is why they're doing the preachers of l.A they want to be famous like their fathers were but they

don't understand their father wasn't trying to be famous their father had a viable ministry that

went over the span of 20 30 years before they bought a Mercedes and you you want one because you're cute. It just doesn't

work. You know what I'm saying? So these guys are trying to get accolades, trying to get validation,

trying to stand out from the crowd and be famous, even though they have not spent the time and

have the patience to earn the place that they're trying to be in.

Does that make sense? And that's what happens. And that's why selfish ambition is so

dangerous because if you don't teach character or build character in your children, well,
