The tongue is a fire, but pride is the dry wood that
keeps it burning.
Why do we bless God one minute and curse our brother the
next? Why do we speak before listening and judge before understanding? Because,
as the Bible says, our hearts are proud.
In this uncompromising message on James 4:4-10,
Pastor lays out the startling truth: God is opposed to the proud, but gives
grace to the humble. We dive deep into:
- The
Disease: Why the Bible calls pride "spiritual adultery" and
how it alienates us from God's presence.
- The
Opposition: What it truly means that God is "opposed" to the
proud (the Greek word is a battle-line stance!).
- The
Remedy: Why spiritual authority only flows through spiritual
submission—you cannot command what you do not obey.
- The
Path of Restoration: The 5 practical, step-by-step actions (Draw near,
Cleanse, Purify, Mourn, Humble yourself) for a divided heart to become
whole again.
The way up has never changed; it's by going down. Come to
the cross where grace lifts what pride has crushed.
