Judah Refused to Believe God Would Do What He Said

Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB) Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

This kind of rebellious and prideful stance is a major spiritual issue among many defiant hearted men today.  Not only do many choose to ignore the commandments and precepts of God, they also they fail to believe that ...

Who is The Greatest?

Who is The Greatest?

January 28th, 2018

Who is The Greatest?

Luke 22:24-27 (KJB) And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27 ...

History Admonishes Arrogance

1 Corinthians 10:11-12 (KJB)   Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.  12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Learn from History, learn from your prideful mistakes of the past, and learn from the glaring sinful errors others commit.  Every moment of history is for our learning and admonition.  The key is to visit ...

A Servant’s Heart

A Servant’s Heart

September 30th, 2017

A Servant’s Heart

Philippians 2:3-4 (KJB)   Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.  4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

A servant’s heart and mind is far removed from focusing on their own desires and needs and honed into the will of God and serving Him through the lives of others.  This means a servant chooses ...

Putrid Before God

Putrid Before God

May 22nd, 2017

Putrid Before God

Proverbs 30:12 (KJB)   There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

Agur gets straight to the point in this verse!

There are people who are right in their own eyes.  They practice measuring themselves against the faults and fissures of others, rather than rightly measuring against the plumb line God established.  This is called pride.

Pride is at work in the hearts and minds of many in this ...

Pride is Eternally Unhealthy

Pride is Eternally Unhealthy

March 16th, 2017

Pride is Eternally Unhealthy

Galatians 6:3 (KJB)   For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Pride at work in the heart displays an attitude of “I am important and everything revolves around me.”

A prideful heart condition stands in stark contrast to a humble and submissive person having a godly heart condition.  A godly heart revolves around God.  Everything is about bringing honor and glory to Him and entertains no thought of self-worth.

Satan ...

Are You Rich and Rough or Poor and Mild?

Are You Rich and Rough or Poor and Mild?

December 3rd, 2016

Are You Rich and Rough or Poor and Mild?

Proverbs 18:23 (KJB)   The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

The poor in spirit are humble in nature. They have no air about them or lift themselves up above others.   They have needs but do not use a demanding and insistent tone to their prayers.  They come humbly before God with a level of comfort and trust that God already knows exactly what they need and desire.  They rest ...

Living Eternally Wise

Living Eternally Wise

Proverbs 26:12 (KJB)   Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Proud men think they are wise.

Proud men boast to others through words and actions that they are wise.

God always knows the truth of every situation.  God can cut through any smoke screen to get to the heart of the situation.  There is always pride at work in the lives of foolish people.  The opposing side ...

Proud and Puffing

Proud and Puffing

Proud and Puffing

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. (Psalm 10:4-5 KJV)

Pride or an air of self-importance is a mark of an ungodly person.  This perfectly describes those who see themselves as more important.  Many reach even higher by choosing to view ...

Do You Willingly “Toe the Line?”

Do You Willingly “Toe the Line?”

September 2nd, 2016

Do You Willingly “Toe the Line?”

Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said ...
