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

Look at somebody say, the root of evil.

Adamantbeliever.com for it slash the root of evil.

Dot p.d.f.

The desire for worldly gain, accolades, and prestige are all rooted in man's desire to be lifted up in the eyes of others.

I mentioned this briefly last week, but this is very, very, this is something that you need to make sure it's not in your heart.

The desire to be seen and known. The desire

to be recognized, seen, and known speaks of an insecurity which can be weaponized against you by the devil.

Whenever you got toot your own horn and always mention your accomplishments, always accidentally

bring folks to your house so they can see your trophy case you having a barbecue so

everybody can come in your living room and see all your certificates you know because we don't talk

about that around here we're not talking about that we're talking about the loving Lord and family and love and all that. But you have to just keep mentioning your accomplishments

or you have to constantly seek the approval of others based on what you have achieved. Those are things you got to be very careful of

because that desire the enemy will weaponize and use that against you and you might not ever

really be saved. See there? See you didn't think it was that serious did you yes it's that serious a person that always

needs the accolades and approval and notoriety and all of those things that's hard for them

to be saved because in order to be saved you got to deny that that's hard yeah folks even take

that's all the Hebrew israelite that's all that is they're out there they're not out there to

save people they're out there to show their knowledge it's still a show. And they want a debate. Debating is arrogance.

There's an element of arrogance that follows those that like to win debates.

Look, somebody don't want to agree with that yeah yeah you want to win so you got to be careful

with that first timothy six and ten for the love of money is the what root of how much evil
