00:00People in high places that have the power to bless and curse others, you need to be
00:18more sensitive to the truth.
00:20Now God told me to build this church here, and I'm going to listen.
00:25I know we promised you to make you bishop-in-arm, but right now, we can't do it.
00:32Candace, man, she put it on me the other night, dog.
00:40She put it on me for real.
00:41You need to do what God has called you to do.
00:43Stop messing around with that girl.
00:44Boy, I love you.
00:45You the son of Pastor Hoffman?
00:46Yeah, that's my dad.
00:47Boy, I think I want you to be my new minister of music.
00:58I got to do something different.
00:59I want something different.
01:02The Bible says men become lovers of themselves more than lovers of God.
01:07It doesn't mean that they start out that way, it doesn't mean that they stop loving God
01:11altogether.
01:12It just means that there's a sick, self-serving obsession that tears a man's heart away from
01:18God's will, away from God's gender, altogether, and it hurts a lot of people in the process.
01:24This, this is the craziest thing I've seen.
01:26First of all, you better lower your voice when you come here talking to me.
01:29You understand me?
01:30This here is my church.
01:31You don't run nothing up in here.
01:32God doesn't make mistakes, people do.
01:43I will be there when God calls you in the fire.
01:50And I'll find you in the name of the Lord.
01:53We the people of God ain't afraid no more.
01:56I got the world in my hand just like a knife.
01:59I'm gonna cut everything that's anti-christ.
02:03I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad, I
02:34am bad, I am bad, I am bad, I am bad, I am bad accepting myself
02:41Oh, forgive me, please
