Pondering the Proverbs

“Pride is the only DISEASE known to man that makes everyone SICK except the one who has it”

1. What Pride Is:
  • The GOOD Pride
  • The BAD Pride
“Pride, the idolatrous worship of SELF, is the national religion of HELL.”

2. What “Bad” Pride Does (The 3-D’s)
  • Leads to DISGRACE Proverbs 11:2, Luke 14:11
Andrew Murray: The truth is this – pride must die in you or noting of heaven can live in you.
  • Leads to DISPUTES
  • Leads to DISCIPLINE
3. What You Can Do About It:
  • Perform a REALITY CHECK Proverbs 29:23
  • HUMBLE YOURSELF before God Proverbs 22:4
  • REVIEW, REPENT, RENEW
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn your back on evil. Then you will gain renewed health and vitality. Proverbs 3:7-8

“Pride is the king of vices…it is the first of the pallbearers of the soul… other vices destroy only their opposite virtues, as wantonness destroys chastity; greed destroys temperance; anger destroys gentleness; but PRIDE DESTROYS ALL VIRTUES”
