Got Pride

In church today we talked about pride, Ego (Edging God Out) and being dead in religion.

Revelation 3:1-6
God wrote a letter to the church in Sardis. Telling them they are dead and giving them a wake up call. Telling them to wake up obey and repent or He will be like a thief and He will come and rob them.

Our question of the day was, Do we snooze God?

"Pride: I am a Cheater"
By Beth Moore
Praying God's Word

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
I cheat you of your God-given destiny…because
you demand your own way.
I cheat you of contentment…because you
“deserve better than this.”

I cheat you of knowledge…because you already
know it all.

I cheat you of healing…because you’re
too full of me to forgive.

I cheat you of holiness…because you refuse to
admit when you’re wrong.

I cheat you of vision…because you’d rather look
in the mirror than out a window.

I cheat you of a genuine friendship…because
nobody’s going to know the real you.

I cheat you of love…because real romance
demands sacrifice.

I cheat you of greatness in heaven…because you
refuse to wash another’s feet on earth.

I cheat you of God’s glory…because I convince
you to seek your own.

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

You like me because you think I’m always looking out for you.
Untrue. I’m looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but don’t worry…
If you stick with me
You’ll never know.

In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
Psalm 10:4
