Quotes about Pride
We have a crippling tendency to forget what God has done for us. For a while, we're humbled.

It is the road of legalism. Hezekiah believed he was right with God because of what he had done.

Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that pride is a problem only for the lost. The most effective means the enemy has to keep believers from being full of the Spirit is to keep us full of ourselves. No wonder the Bible states and restates that God hates pride. It is the enemy of genuine ministry. It is the end of many homes.
