Untitled Sermon (21)

The root of pride is saying that we can do without God.

James Montgomery Boice

A man needs above all to be saved from what is the root of all sin—his self-will and his pride.

Andrew Murray

1127Better to lose your pride than to lose your soul! Why be damned for pride’s sake? Why carry your head so high that it must be cut off? Why feed your pride on your soul’s blood? Surely there is cheaper stuff than that for pride to drink!—7.216

Charles Spurgeon

In his pride, Moses lost his temper and was kept out of the Promised Land (Numbers 20:1–13). Pride kept Joshua from seeking God’s will at Ai, and he lost the battle (Joshua 7). King Nebuchadnezzar’s pride turned him into an animal (Daniel 4), and Peter’s pride led to his denial of Christ (Luke 22:31–34).
