Pride Gets in Our Way

We are too busy “telling people” to hear. People will tell you about a sermon they’ve heard or quote a Bible verse in that preachy “people ought to know better, they gonna be sorry attitude/voice.” I’ve even done it myself. Instead, we need to look inwards at our own hearts.

When you are listening to a sermon, and you start thinking about the people you know who need to hear that sermon, the enemy is distracting you. Because YOU need to HEAR the sermon.

Matthew 7:5

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

I think our

biggest problem is pride. What would happen if we got rid of that pride and came before God with a humble heart? What if we were really thankful for all He has done for us? Our hearts would change, our lives would change, our world would change.
