Humility: True Greatness #2

Chapter 2

- "Though I can't say I'm humble - I certainly have much to be humble about!!!"

- "Pride seems to have a strange and sure way of ignoring logic altogether."

- "The real issure here is not if pride exists in [my] heart; it's where pride exists and how pride is being expressed in [my] life."

- "Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins; it is itself the essence of all sin."

- "Pride is when sinful human beings aspire to the status and position of God and refuse to acknowledge their dependence upon Him."

- I'm fighting for God's position in my life when I let pride take over!!!

- "Pride also undermines unity and can ultimately divide a church." I've definitely experienced this in my life - it's freakishly true.

- "Pride also brings down leaders."

"Pride brings down leaders" . . . I like to think of it this way, either I humble myself now, or let God do it, His way!
