Pride is when sinful human beings aspire to the status and position of God and refuse to acknowledge their dependence upon Him.
C. J. MahaneyWe don't accidentally drift into holiness; rather we mature gradually and purposefully, one choice at a time.
C. J. MahaneyEncourage others each and every day-nothing's more important than our words. Did you know that, on average, each of us speaks about twenty-five thousand words daily? My last book didn't have that many words. A lot of language is flowing out of our mouths every day and having an impact on those around us. But how much of that flow is fulfilling God's intended purpose for our speech? How much of it reflects pride, rather than a gospel-motivated humility?
