Subject: How dangerous is the Tongue? |
Bible Note: Hi, happiness! I understand what you mean... pride is a very sly and sticky problem... it dwells deep within our being (Lucifer fell to it) and it hides among true values (such as defending ourselves from a perceived assault or the unwillingness to truly forgive our fellow man)... Remember the old saying "an ounce of prevention..."? I think that Christians must store humility and patience by the ton--prayer, patience and humility can do wonders agains pride! I fight it all of the times... I always go to my storage (the Bible) an bring out lots of patience and humility--sometimes I burn through it way fast (when Christ's Divinity is questioned by people who claim to be Christians) and I remember that old prophecy about God's servant who would not even break the crushed reed (Isaiah 42:3). When you post, think about the person that would read your statements... sometimes what we know in our minds and heart does not translate to paper (text box) as clearly... perhaps instead of saying "you almost got it" (or something to that effect) you could explain your views (your take) on that particular study. I am sure there will be less confusion that way! God Bless! Angel |
