Bible Note: 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 |
