In a world that is riddled with pride & arrogance, there is one thing in all the earth that gains the sovereign gaze of a gracious God...
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast save in the death of Christ, my God
The pride that says we are good enough will destroy us eternally. The humility that says we need God’s help will save us eternally.
True greatness is found in sacrificing your importance for the kingdom.
Knowledge tells us our rights. Love tells us whether to use or forgo our rights. Knowledge without love puffs up. Knowledge with love builds up.
