Hide Your Pride. You’re Toast When You Boast.

September 10, 2018

From today’s reading…

And you are inflated with pride. Should you not rather have been sorrowful?”

Pride. Fame. Fortune. Power.

These are all that seem to matter today.

16 and pregnant? Go on TV, get cosmetic surgery, star in your own porn videos.

Losing a major tennis tournament? Cheat. Throw a fit when you’re caught. Blame everyone and everything but yourself when you are punished according to the rules of the game that have made you rich, famous, and powerful.

Lost an election? Blame it on everything and everyone but yourself and remain bitter and dividing to keep the spotlight on yourself.

Covered up a sex scandal? Remain silent and discuss inconsequential topics, hoping it’ll just blow over rather than shining the light and spraying disinfectant in every nook and cranny in your global organization.

Paul reminds the Corinthians

Your boasting is not appropriate.

He was also telling us how to… 

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.
