Hi, Christine... Welcome to the forum! It is great to have a representative from Oz. I regularly pray for the believers in your country, and the spread of the gospel there. You have written that you are looking for verses that have to do with pride. A worthy study! May I suggest that you try the "Get Bible Text" control to the right side of the SBF page? You can specify NASB or Amplified; Old, New, or Both Testaments; and a word. In your case you could enter pride and study the verses. Then you might want to do the same search with the word proud, or even prideful. Another good way to do a topical study is to look up the antonym of the word: humble, humility, etc. As I do such studies I make notes. From each verse with that word or phrase, I try to draw conclusions. (Of course, you have to read the verse in context. One can arrive at quite erroneous conclusions by simply pulling out a verse here and there!) For example, I did a topical study on prayer once. As I gathered and reorganized my notes I found I could place my observations under different categories: the purpose of prayer, the Person of prayer, the position of prayer, etc. Great stuff! If you need more help using online Biblical concordance, please let us know. As others read our posts, I am sure they will join me in prayer for you, your family, your service to our Lord, and your study of His word! In Him, Doc |

Hello Doc Thankyou for the warm welcome and to informing me on how to use the site. This is my first time with interacting with people on the web. I feel so Blessed to come across this site to be able to communicate with others from across the world on God's word it is so exciting. I am still a little nervous in trying to work out how to work and utilise the site.I did try with researching the word "pride" but still have not looked at the other words. Besides my own understanding and interest in the study of pride. Their is another reason as I am supporting a dear friend who is not a Christian through a divorce. Through my prayers I decerned "pride" as she will not ask others for support/help particuly Goverment Departments eg;(financial assistance or registering for employment) also she worries about what others may think of her. What I have read on my first research of "pride" I do not believe she would understand the Biblical readings so I would appreciate advise on this matter in more laymens termology. I am not sure if I can ask or give this information please disregard information if it is not appropiate to discuss personal issues. Christine |

Hi, Christine... Since she is a non-believer there is little she will understand regarding spiritual matters (1 Corinthians 2:14). However, I think your study of pride is still a worthy one. I suggest that you avoid studying with the object in mind of explaining to others. Instead, study so that you will understand as much as the Bible has to say on the topic. Only after that kind of work is done should you look to finding a way to explain it to others. If God is directing you to this study, you will want to know as much as possible about what He has to say concerning this topic. Imagine Him sitting down with you to explain pride. You wouldn't interrupt Him and say, "Wait, that's all I need to know, since I only asked because I want to explain it to my friend." :-) By the way, God never does something to accomplish one tiny task. Often He does things in a way that accomplish many things at once. He's awesome that way! Therefore, as you study pride, don't just think about your friend. Hold yourself up to in the light that you receive. In Him, Doc |

Hello Doc I am so grateful for your words of wisdom. Although my friend is not a Christian she respects my Christian beliefs as she is constantly asking me what would God do in this situation and ask me to pray for her. We have been friends for 14 years. Over the past 18 months she has begun to pray for herself daily and at each step she takes I introduce her to another stage of Gods teachings about prayer. For example, we have discussed forgiveness and the process of forgiveness from Biblical teachings "God's word". I agree with you that God's word is awesome and I feel very Blessed as I sing praises to God that my friend is witnessing and experiencing His awesome love at this time. I will continue to study pride as I agree that sometimes their is a lesson for me through this process as well as I have learnt and gained a greater understanding of forgiveness from studying Gods word. I have also from your last communication decided to take and keep notes for future reference and I think personal growth when I look back over the notes in the future so thankyou for that suggestion. So be assured that I will sit still and be silent in God's presence to meditate on His teaching of pride. Christine |
