I know about this from the example a former friend who was in his sixties. He
had so much pride that he was hurt when he didn't recieve recognition and was
very hot tempered towards people. This samemantalked situational ethics and
liked to play the devils advocate with me in discussions. ----- Original

Pride goes before destruction, And
a haughty spirit before a fall. Better
to be of a humble spirit with the
lowly, Than to divide the spoil with
the proud.
( Proverbs 16:18-19 *NKJV )
Dear Addison,
Destructive pride can be a major stumbling block in your
Christian walk! We are as God's Children to be of a humble
spirit. For it is written; "God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."
( 1 Peter 5:5 ) It is also written; For this is what
the high and lofty One says he who lives
forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a
high and holy place, but also with him who
is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive
the spirit of the lowly and to revive the
heart of the contrite. ( Isaiah 57:15 )
Now our Savior Jesus Christ, speaking of entering the
Kingdom of Heaven said; Indeed there are those
who are last who will be first, and first who
will be last." ( Luke 13:30 ) Also Jesus' brother
wrote; He gives more grace. Therefore He
says: "God resists the proud, But gives
grace to the humble." ( James 4:6 )
So Addison, always; Therefore humble your-
selves under the mighty hand of God, that
He may exalt you in due time, casting all
your care upon Him,for He cares for you.
Amen. ( 1 Peter 5:6-7 )
All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
