Prideful Deceit

Finally started to feel better.

Billy continues to teach on pride, furthering the discussion about how pride is typically mans downfall. As noted in yesterday's blog, satan was prideful which led to his boot out of heaven. Billy points out King Saul was proud and Peter the disciple of Jesus was prideful which led him to deny Christ.

This sin has such a grip on America and the world. Along with pride comes hatred. This is the reason why so many groups hate the other group, nations go to war, politicians don't fund the government. (Well that's the other blog). For this reason, Christ was crucified. People were expecting a king that would setup his kingdom on earth. What they got was a king of the heart. He wanted to be the king of their hearts and soul because that is where the issues laid. The heart and soul of man had been changed due to Adam and Eve. God sent his son to change this and region over the people in spirits which is where the breakdown occurred.

For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12 NIV)
Daily Prayer, Lord Jesus, You suffered such humiliation and pain for me on the cross. I ask You, humbly, to forgive my pride and errant ways that nailed You there.

Sunny day by the sea.
