Humility: True Greatness #5

Chapter 5

Simple Steps for Defeating Pride:

- "Reflect on the Wonder of the Cross."

- "All of us have an inflated view of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size." - John Stott

- "How can anyone be arrogant when he stands beside the cross?" - Carl Henry

- "The cross never flatters us."

- "Begin your Day acknowledging your Need for God."

- "The sin of pride is ACTIVE - not passive. Sin doesn't wake up tired, because it hasn't been sleeping. When you wake up in the morning, sin is right there, fully awake, ready to attack. So rather than be attacked by sin in the morning, [Mahaney's] chosen to go on the offensive."

- "Thankfulness is a soil in which pride does not easily grow." - Michael Ramsey

- Do I spend more time LISTENING to myself or SPEAKING TRUTH to myself???
