Preventing Progress

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." Philippians 2:3

Pride prevents progress.

It's really pretty simple. Put yourself aside and get God's work done. Christians shouldn't be working for themselves anyway. Everything we do is for the Lord. -- We know this, but yet it is so difficult for us to practice this at times.

A lot of people in our nation and world are turned off from Christianity. Christians are confused by this and wonder why this is happening. The answer lies in our own prideful behavior. When Christians act out of pride it can destroy the work that the Lord is doing in someone else's heart.

Let's remember who's team were on and bring our humble attitude so we start chalking up some points for Team Jesus!

Gotta give a shout out to our newest member! Hey Stacie!
