Mark Driscoll on pride and humility:
1. “Pride is our greatest enemy” –John Stott/
2. Pride is demonic and satanic in its origin/humility is a miracle that can only come from God
3. Pride is the encouragement to compare ourselves to other people/Humility continually compares us to Jesus.
4. Pride covets the success of other people/Humility allows us to rejoice in people’s successes.
5. Pride is about me: what I want and deserve/Humility is about Jesus and other people.
6. Pride is about what I’ve done/Humility is about the glory of Jesus.
7. In pride, I am god: I expect to be obeyed and served/Humility is about obeying and serving God.
8. Pride leads to arrogance and is repugnant/Humility leads to confidence.
9. The point of pride is independence/Humility is about dependence on God.
10. “Pride is the mother of all sin. Pride is pregnant with sin” –Augustine/humility is the root of all joy.
11. Pride is something we can achieve in this lifetime/Humility is something we must pursue throughout our lifetime.
