This past Sunday, Pastor Rod spent some time talking about the danger of pride. Pride is one of those sneaky and subtle sins that we often can't see in our lives just as a when you are flying through a cloud and can't see how high you are off the ground. Our Christian growth does not happen in fighthing sin in its abstract (ie. I will put off pride). Rather, growth comes as we fight sin in its specific manifestations in our own hearts. You have to fight the enemy where it is entrenched.
One resources I have found helpful in identifying the sin of pride and manifestations of humility is Stuart Scott's little booklet From Pride to Humility. You can buy a copy here. And here is a link to a handout that includes the manifestations of pride and humility (a good tool to evaluate your own heart and where the battle and potential for growth is).
A blog designed to encourage Grace Church of Tallahassee College/Career members to think biblically in all areas of life and to grow in the knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness (Titus 1:1). The title is based on Titus 2:12 where Paul says that the grace of God saves us and trains us to live godly lives in the present age.
