Walking in relationship with Christ builds profound confidence in God’s faithfulness and in the reliability of His love. There is no force in this world (physical or spiritual) which can separate us from that love.

Pride and Prejudice

“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. Luke 18:10-11

There is perhaps no smaller thinking in the church than when we start comparing our church to other churches.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who are so traditional and so irrelevant.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who are so “culturally relevant” they have lost the real gospel.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who use all the wrong versions of the Bible.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who are a mile wide and an inch deep.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who are uptight and stuffy.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches whose worship is wild and disorderly and worldly.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who welcome homosexuals.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches who refuse to welcome homosexuals.

God, I thank you that our church isn’t like those churches…

No matter where you find yourself in any of these prayers…

It’s ugly. In the kingdom of God, pride always is.
