"PRIDE"
pride is somthing we all have. The reason is because, our socity prides its self on pride. We have to have pride in the city we live, in the school we go to, what team we root for or particapate in and work. We are not reminded by our soctiy that we shouldn't boast because with out god nothing is possiable. I know i commit pride all the time and mostly talking about records in football, or how much weight i lift, or my city and how it is better than wadsworth. in james it talks about pride in chapter 4 verse 6~10 it says But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." So submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (4:6-7) to me it changed my mind set knowning god resists the proudstrong>. I known i am one of the most pridful which in turn results in envy which is a hole nother topic. In verse 7 it talks about submitting yourself to god and to resist satan. Which if you remember in bathisim we say we will reject satan! So yeah! this changed my life in the prideful things i say. Because god hates pride, pride is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuddddddde!!! James is so sweet!! There is stuff about humility everywhere in it. Last sunday I lead a discussion on James chap.4:11-12. It talks about judging and speaking evil of brethren. When we judge we should not do it out of opinion or pride. We should do it out of a humble concern for the other person and we should use the law to judge. Also we should not speak evil against each other but build each other up.
