Our desire is that the Holy Spirit, who is the Divine Revealer and Interpreter of Christ and His truth, may impart to your hearts a sober, spiritual and sanctifying receptivity of His Word – abasing self, and exalting Christ! Our intention is to unfold and illustrate the Lord Jesus Christ in the relation in which He stands to His people – to unveil His glory, beauty, and fullness – to define the close bond of union that unites to Him all His people – and to bring you into a more personal realization of what Christ is to you, and of what you are to Christ.

Dear Hope Chest friends,
 
After I sent out the "Pilgrimage and Jubilee" issue a few minutes ago, I thought some of you might like a few extra resources on the topic of pride and humility.  Here is a short list of Scriptures on humility (there are SO many more) and a list of symptoms of pride. 
 
I hope this will be helpful to you.
 
Blessings,
Virginia Knowles

Symptoms of Pride

 

Ask the Lord to search out any roots of pride in your heart so you can confess and repent from them.  Here are a few surface symptoms that might indicate a problem…

 

¨             Apathy or complacency about spiritual disciplines such as Scripture, prayer, worship, confession of sin, accountability, and church life

¨             Reluctance to listen to others, receive correction, acknowledge fault, apologize graciously without counterattack, forgive wrongs against you, or serve in menial or inconvenient ways

¨             Dissatisfaction or ingratitude for the many blessings in your life, as if you deserved better or as if you had earned them by your own merits

¨             Self-centered attitude in wanting the best for yourself, craving approval and recognition from others, comparing yourself with others, demanding that others serve you, or being offended when you are slighted

¨             Critical spirit, gossip, slander, divisiveness, fault finding, blame shifting, jealousy about the success of others, resentment when others are recognized

¨             Talking too much about or showing off your “superior” family lifestyle, spiritual gifts, knowledge, possessions, appearances, accomplishments, children, church doctrine, or educational approach
