Pride - A Distorted View of Reality And Root Cause of Sin

Pride is like a drug or strong drink... under its influence we do not have a clear head... we are not thinking soberly... our grip on reality is looser

Prior to this message I handed out a list of scriptures on the subject of pride roughly following the categories follwed in the message. Here is a link to a PDF of that same list - https://www.ucg.org/system/storage/serve/1293001/scripture_list_-_what_is_pride.pdf

The proud person is intoxicated with... their self… they have a distorted view of who they are… that leads to an unwarranted self confidence and puts us into conflict with reality... Pride puts you in conflict with the living God who is the creator and sustainer of our reality…

James 4:6 God resists the proud but shows favor to the humble.
