Pride is the root of all sin

Pride is the root of all sin. Pride devours marriages & families. Pride causes idol worship of many different kinds. Pride causes professing followers of Christ to ignore scripture. Pride causes people to profess with their mouth to be a follower of Christ but to deny Him by their actions and their filthy mouths. Pride causes people to desire to have their ears tickled by a water down sermon on Sunday. Pride causes people to reject accountability from other believers because they have bought into the lie that says…Don’t Judge Anyone Ever!!! Pride causes people to reject the truth of following Christ alone and accepting a cult that is full of lies and wickedness. Pride causes a professing believer to become unevenly yoked with a non-believer. Pride causes men to sit and play video games and get obsessed with hobbies that are worthless and have no eternal value and to teach the same thing to their sons. Pride causes women to embrace what the culture says is right for women, and ignoring what Gods word says. Pride causes people to believe that God is ok with divorce. Pride causes people to believe that abortion is not murder. Pride causes people to call themselves atheists when the bible says that all men know that God exists and that they are without excuse. Pride causes people to believe that we all evolved from nothing. Pride causes scientists that have now admitted by saying that their had to be a creator, but they still wont call that creator GOD!!! Pride will cause those who reject Christ to believe that they have all the time in the world and maybe they will surrender their life to the Lord some other day. Pride caused me to write this post and not think of my own pride issues as I wrote about each pride issue, I only thought of other people. We cannot and will not see our own pride if we don’t first humble ourselves and understand that God gave us the breath we just took and he is in control of our birth, death, and everything in between. It is my daily prayer and the prayers of my family that none of our family and friends that reject Christ let their pride lead them into an eternity in hell.
