    Nebuchadnezzar's pride got too big. He received a dream of warning from God. Not repenting, he had the insanity of boanthropy, ate grass, went on all fours. God had mercy and he was converted. A good look at the dangers of pride.

    WHEN GOD TURNED A POLITICIAN INTO A COW Dan. 4:4-37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SCRIPTURE-QUOTING SHOP KEEPER 1.

    ENGAGE Several weeks ago I was officiating a volleyball match in a tournament. During one rally I blew my whistle and before I even made my call, one of the players made a comment that indicated he thought the call was going to go against his team. So, in what was certainly not one of my finest ...read more

    As the Israelites enter Canaan, God warns them not to be so lost in their abundance that they forget that it is God who gives it to them.

    Deuteronomy 8:7-18 “Antidote” INTRODUCTION For those of us who have worked hard and put in long hours, it is easy to look at our accomplishments and our possessions and pat ourselves on the back.

    Thorns And Grace (July 2012).

     | 6,677 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more

    Ministers are reluctant to preach on humility. How do we promote humility without sounding like we think we’ve attained it? Needless to say, my sermon title isn’t “Humility and how I found it.” We are all "works-in-progress".

    Winston Churchill was reviling a political opponent at a press conference. A reporter interrupted him asking, “But surely, Mr. Churchill, you must admit that he is a humble, modest man?” To which Churchill replied: “He is a humble man, but then he has much to be humble about!” Ministers are ...read more

    A reflection on pride and humility based on the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

    I love Bible stories, and I believe many of us who grew up in the faith find them to be a beautiful source of teachings that still resonate with us today.
