    The Law or Love? Another one of my writings from around 2009

    The Law or Love When you fear the Lord and do his will out of fear, you are keeping the law. You do this because you fear his judgment on you if you break the law. This is good. This is the beginning of wisdom. Now when you love the Lord with all of your heart, you will do his will because...

    Why Quarrel and Fight?

    James 4:1-2 NIV “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.” If you are one who professes faith in Jesus Christ, and if you...

    Who is against you?

    Have you ever ran across this scripture before? Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? From the start of the chapter it talks about how there is no condemnation for people who are believers. That the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ...

    How can I be humble? Stronghold of pride.

    Hi, I am 22M and have been in a relationship with Christ for about a year now. He is now putting me through a season of prayer and heart-healing; I have been hurt a lot by others in my past. I recently discovered that pride is my stronghold. I have been living my entire life under the shelter...

    Theology of Humility

    The Lord has been teaching me a lot of humility lately. Here are my thoughts on how humility is the key to all the other virtues. The opposite of humilty is pride. Pride is a barrier to all virtues and all happiness. 1. Pride is a hindrance to faith. It seems to me that most of the arguments...

    Pride Before a Fall

    Proverbs 27:1-2 ESV Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” So, we are to guard...

    Spiritual pride

    Jesus attacked the Pharisees for their hypocrisy and for their pride. He did not attack rich men or powerful men with the same vitriol that he reserved for the so called religious leaders of his age. I have been given a sermon to do on pride and I think that asking for help for this might be my...
