All ego really is, is our opinions, which we take to be solid, real, and the absolute truth about how things are.

In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.

Prosperity often leads to pride, which leads to sin.

Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves.

Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.

God's grace is the oil that fills the lamp of love.

When your heart is filled every day by the kindness of the Father, you have enough of His grace overflowing that you can extend His grace to others.

The adventure of collaborating with God involves bestowing the greatest gift a person can receive — the gift of amazing grace — on undeserving (and often unsuspecting) people like you and me.

Pride is corrosive, and it rubs off. You're going to have a tough time developing Christlike humility and thinking of yourself with sober judgment if your close friends are arrogant, full of pride, and looking down their noses at everyone else.

Part of the sin of Pride is a subtle but deep racism.

The gospel of grace nullifies our adulation of televangelists, charismatic superstars, and local church heroes. It obliterates the two-class citizenship theory operative in many American churches. For grace proclaims the awesome truth that all is gift. All that is good is ours, not by right, but by the sheer bounty of a gracious God.

When a man or woman is truly honest (not just working at it) it is virtually impossible to insult them personally. There is nothing there to insult. Those who were truly ready for the kingdom were just such people. Their inner poverty of spirit and rigorous honesty had set them free. They were people who had nothing to be proud of.
