The Fall

Pride is an unwarranted, elevated view of one’s self, abilities, or possessions. Pride is not just a problem. Pride is the THE problem. Pride is at the root of all the destruction, chaos, and division we see and experience. Pride destroys marriages, pride divides the closest friends, pride abuses, pride accuses, pride shames, pride blames, pride lies, pride steals, pride cheats, pride covets. Pride is not just a sin. Pride is THE sin. It is no wonder that Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
