You Might Struggle With Pride If... | David Marvin

Do you struggle with pride? Pride can be hard to see in the mirror, but it’s covering so many of us. In this message, we study James 4:10-17 to learn ways we struggle with pride and how to defeat it.
__
Many of us are living according to our own truth, but is our truth actually reliable? The only way to know is by going straight to the source to learn how to handle money, why our plans don't work, how to live a life of freedom, and so much more. In this series, we learn how to study God’s word as we walk through the book of James to discover the full truth from the half brother of Jesus.

Thank you so much for the word! Often times we don't see how pride is actually rooted in us but thanks be to God that He will show us His way and will!

I appreciate the heart behind this. A couple of statements I just can’t understand. I could be wrong but I just had to comment: 1.) “It’s only by the grace of God that I’m not behaving like they are” Is it? Or is it that I’ve taken responsibility for my actions, repented, and worked hard to change behaviors? I understand grace is necessary to extend to those who are struggling, but that doesn’t discount accountability for inappropriate behaviors. Compassion and patience are key, but it seems to me that just accepting those behaviors is also not healthy. 2.) “Hatred of self is pride”- Not sure how that could be pride, seems more like it’s self loathing which is the opposite of pride. The last thing a person struggling with this needs to hear is that they’re prideful, that’s just going to make them feel even worse about themself. I agree that we can shift the focus from ourselves to God. 3.) “A godly man will not hold a woman’s baggage against her” A godly man will also not stay in a situation with some one who lacks awareness in the area of purity, gossip, manipulation, and overall maturity. I see it as wisdom to consider that baggage in a relationship. This just felt over the top and condemning. I think you guys are a great church and I appreciate your messages. This one just didn’t sit right with me, God bless.

Is sin God’s will?
