I am interested in a discussion on Pride.
We know from scripture that this sin is at the root of many ungodly actions.
It is a sin to be taken seriously there seems to be no place for pride in the heart of a believer.
Unlike Anger there is no such thing as righteous pride.
Having been delivered from darkness I am very cautious about allowing any prideful thoughts or feelings to take hold.
Yet I am noticing that pride is often accepted as 'normal'
Being proud of ones achievements, proud of ones wife and family, proud of ones country, would suggest that there is a righteous pride, but I see no scriptural support for this.
I guess I see all that is good coming from God's hand so there is no room to boast.
Have I taken a view that is too radical or have I missed something.
