Christian Killer

Pride.

"We need less people ACTING like Christians, and more people BEING Christians."

Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

All of these verses have something in common. God does something with the prideful and also with the humble! Pride brings devision. Pride brings deceit. Pride brings death!!! Humility brings exaltation.

Faithfulness brings greatness! Some want to be noticed. Some want to be in charge. Some want to be the leader. Some want the power. Some want the recognition. But some having compassion will make a difference! One thing I have learned, is, yes God wants all to serve Him and strive with Him, but if you or I think His work will not go on without us we are sadly mistaken! The gates of hell will not prevail against some man? The gates of hell will not prevail against some group or committee? The gates of hell will not prevail against some preacher, teacher, or leader, No, THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH! And, are you not glad that the church, aint built on some man, aint built on some group, aint built on some committee, Upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail!!!! I am so glad it does not depend on me, it does not depend on you, as long as we give credit to whom credit is due!!!!! God is blessing, has blessed and will continue to bless!!! All hail the power of Jesus name let angels prostrate fall bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all.....We are at our strongest when we are unified and when we serve together realizing He is all we need....

Pride will kill you...those that are ultimately exalted are those who do not care who gets the credit! If i remember correctly the first shall be last, and he that is greatest among you is the one serving!

(pardon use of the word aint)
