Put On Humility

Contributed by Margaret Olubiyi on Aug 8, 2018

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Apostle Paul in our main scripture text is cautioning every believer to be truthful(honest)as you evaluate yourself, not thinking of yourself or believing that you are better than you are. I categorize this phrase under "pride." When you think about pride, it is saying to yourself and ...read more

El orgullo precede a la destrucción. El que se exalta será humillado, y el que se humilla será exaltado. ¡No puedes hacer ningún bien a menos que "la poderosa mano de Dios" esté contigo! Por lo tanto, sé humilde y mira a su mano para todo el éxito.

Consecuencias del orgullo "Antes del quebrantamiento es la soberbia, y antes de la caída la altivez de espíritu" (Proverbios 16:18). El orgullo, el primogénito del infierno, impuro y vil, es un cabecilla y capitán entre las iniquidades, el atrevimiento y el pecado ...read more

Part 4: When Your Pride Is Showing Series

Contributed by Brad Froese on Aug 30, 2004

As sanctified vessels we all have days we just don’t hold our “holy water” very well. One of our major faults is the life-altering sin called pride.

Last week we learned that as Christians, we’re all like vases: vessels designed to be used in the house of God, and as vessels we’re called to be sanctified: set aside as holy vessels, for noble use in the house of God… To be used for God’s purposes, in His Kingdom. Unfortunately, all of us ...read more

Resolving Ministry Conflict By Putting Pride To Rest

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Aug 13, 2006

As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.
