HERE IS THE KILLER

What a title for a blog entry but there is a killer on the run and the killer is out to try to destroy us. It is none other than PRIDE.

Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.

This was the downfall of Satan - he was proud and wanted to be God. He thought too highly of himself. I am amazed at the Christians that think the worldly teaching of a "low self esteem" is Biblical. Folks - it is pride - no one and I mean no one has a low self esteem - the Bible says we all think too highly of ourselves. We are all prideful. Oh wait a minute I met someone once that said they were not prideful - what a prideful statement :).

Really look at your life and see where that non mortified pride is lingering - get out the Sword of the Spirit (the Scriptures) and go to work at killing your pride. God has given you every ability you have so how can you take credit for anything that is remotely good or some ability you have?? Don't rob Him of His glory by thinking highly of yourself. I still maintain that the only thing I can take credit for is my sin - everything else is God's grace.
