Plenty, though, on the old fleshly ego... 48 As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and...

Pride being compared to the devil... 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil...

And we also have Moses recorded as being very meek... (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) - Numbers 12:3

Some people have so much ego, like the rich young ruler, that God cannot get a spiritual blessing in there edgewise, as the camel is much too big to go through the eye of the needle, so the ego inhibits the blessing from getting through, much like the clouds inhibiting the sunlight on an...

“In Bible college, I sometimes heard professors and chapel speakers say that a Christian college was the easiest place to backslide. What they said about Bible college applies as well to the ministry. The emphasis is simply that serving Christ cannot be a substitute for fellowship with Christ...

God speaking here... Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. - Job 40:11-12 And remember the chastisement Moses got for calling the children of Israel...

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. - Jude 1:4 Turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, or lustful...

Well... If a Christian church can maintain the spirituality then I will take my hat off to them.

The Apostle Paul once said... "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you...." (Galatians 4:19) The event when Christ is formed in the character we of the Methodist background call sanctification. And notice.... "Travail in birth again" in which case...

What distinguished the Methodist of the 1800's and the Pentecostal Holiness of the 1900's was an experience called sanctification. You are saved by acknowledging and inviting Christ Jesus into the heart... But they would have you attend the many revivals and spend time around the altar in prayer...
