The Paradox Of Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Praiseworthy Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Consequences Of Pride

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 28, 2020

Pride goes before destruction.Whosoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. You cannot do any good unless “the mighty hand of God” is with you! Therefore, be humble and look to His hand for all success.

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).

Pride exalts it head, and seeks to honor itself; but ...read more

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 15, 2024

Spiritual pride is a self-made fortress where we think we are superior than others, our doctrine is more correct than others, we think we know God more than others, and that we don’t recognise the need for repentance. We always compare with others.

Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 The only place where God cannot save you is the place of spiritual pride (God's power is infinite, but God is unwilling to save the proud, until they repent).
