PRIDE,
PROBLEM OF

PRIDE is the only disease that makes everyone sick, except the one who has it.729

Prov. 16:18; 29:23

A LADY went to her pastor and said, “Pastor, I am terribly in need of counseling. I’ve got this sin. I can’t seem to shake it. The sin is messing with me, but I can’t seem to get rid of it.”

The pastor was concerned for the apparent dilemma for this lady in his congregation. “What seems to be the problem?”

“Well, I come to church every Sunday, and I can’t help thinking that I am the prettiest woman in the church. I look at all the other ladies, and they can’t even hold a candle to me. What should I do, Pastor, about this sin?”

He said, “Honey, that’s not a sin, that’s a mistake.”730
