That's why our attempts must be empowered by Christ.<BR/><BR/>2) In terms of object lessons, I am the most convenient example of pride. So much so that looking elsewhere is hardly necessary... <BR/><BR/>3) Humility is <I>more honest</I> than pride. Excellent. <BR/><BR/>4) Pride stymies both friendship and growth.<BR/><BR/>5) Humility stomps on the idea of "lofty" virtues. <BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for the thoughts; I hope you reap some benefits from your exploration.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135729997685992811noreply@blogger.com
