Dear Christian Friends, I have been bothered of last by pride and arrogance, both mine and of some Christians around me. I know those who seem proud because they think they know prophecy, as if they were in on a secret. Others are proud because of their church's heritage. I won't mentioned my pride, it is too painful.
I think some of this pride comes from our lack of recognizing and dealing with our sins. God has given to everyone a "sin that so easily besets us" (Heb 12:1) to keep us humble. The verses on pride and arrogance are many, and so are the verses on our wretched sin. I need to take my sin more seriously and pray for those around me to do the same. Thanks for letting me share.
