The spirit that caused Cain to murder Abel was pride. The spirit that caused Israel to follow other gods was pride. And the spirit that sent Jesus to the cross … that lurked in the heart of every Pharisee … was the spirit of self-righteous pride. That same demonic spirit is destroying America; it deceives us in believing that we know how to run our lives and lead our nation better than God can.

The kind of people that all teams need are people who are humble, hungry, and smart: humble being little ego, focusing more on their teammates than on themselves. Hungry, meaning they have a strong work ethic, are determined to get things done, and contribute any way they can. Smart, meaning not intellectually smart but inner personally smart.
