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, the first-born son of hell, unclean and vile, is a ringleader and captain among iniquities, daring and God-defying sin. It has nothing lovely in it.

The Paradox Of Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Man is in a strange predicament, caught between his own dignity and depravity; his own worth, and his wickedness. The result is another great paradox of life. Man's self-love is both an evil and a good.

Some people, probably most people, and maybe all people have to learn how to be humble the hard way, and that is the humpty dumpty way of having a great fall. This was the case with Max Eastman. A film was being made on the life of Christ, and he happened to meet the well known woman photographer ...read more

Praiseworthy Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

A legitimate pride is a completely personal matter, and does not depend upon anyone else. It is a matter of personal satisfaction in accomplishing something that is praiseworthy.

Jesus failed to turn Israel from her sins, and they crucified Him, but He thereby succeeded in paying the penalty for their sin, and also for the sins of the world. By descending into the valley of failure, ...read more

Spiritual Pride

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). Unless we repent, God is not willing to save you from ...read more
