"You Cannot Domesticate Pride"

I recently read an article by Erik Raymond entilted, "You Cannot Domesticate Pride." He points out the disaster of taking sin lightly, especially the sin of pride. Pride wants to kill you and it will if you don't do battle with it.

Raymond's article is a very short one, so take a minute to read it here. Here is one great quote from it:
The subtle seeds of pride grow an oak of self-worship in the heart. Nebuchadnezzar did not build a 40′ statue demanding worship of him on the first day of office, but in due time it made sense for him to do this. It was the incremental footpath of pride.

I hope to write more on the topic of pride and humility soon, so stay tuned.
