The Warnings of Pride / The Promises of Humility

God’s Word reveals to us over and over, how much He both knows and loves His created people.

Here is one way, I see that play out in Scripture. In the book of Proverbs (and elsewhere), the Lord gives us both warnings about pride and promises about humility.

In your marriage, do the little things

As Christ followers, we are following and learning from the One who came not to be served, but to serve (Matthew 20:28). Heather and I have been married for over 18 years now, and I still have moments where I don’t want to reflect that kind of attitude to my wife, who truly is my […]
