For Further Study- Opposing the Proud

Pride is a most insidious sin, one that the Lord actively opposes.  Chad taught on 1 Peter 5 this last Sunday, with an emphasis on how godly pastors and elders will shepherd the flock.  Praise God for the strong men of our church who delight in serving God through leading the body of Christ.

1 Peter 5:5-
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
   "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

As CJ Mahaney says in Humility,

"Opposes" in this statement is an active, present-tense verb, showing us that God's opposition to pride is an immediate and constant activity.  The proud will not indefinitely escape punishment" (33-34).

This book is an excellent, short but deep study on pride and humility.
