Pride is a problem!

Pride is a problem!

Think about that...write it down somewhere...never forget this...
Pride is a problem!

It is what got satan booted out of Heaven. In Isaiah 14:13-14 we read, "For you said to yourself, I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.".

Pride is a problem!

Pride gets in the way of relationships. Relationships with our friends and family...our relatonship with the Lord. Pride causes us to focus on just one thing...ourselves!

Pride is a problem!

Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall."
Proverbs 11:2, "Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom."
James 4:6, "But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, God opposes the proud but favors the humble."

If pride is a problem (and it is), then HUMILITY is to be our response. Give it a try.

Speaking from experience,

Mark
