    Pathway to Joy – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "this matters because humility is the pathway to joy. When we walk in humility, we walk in step with the Lord Jesus Christ.

    “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” — Proverbs 11:2

    “For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.” -Timothy Keller

    Pride is thinking only of yourself all the time. It bolsters attitudes and thoughts like: you “can’t be wrong” or you “have to be the best.” Inversely, pride rears its head when you think you are “always wrong” and “not good at anything.” In either scenario, your eyes are only on yourself.

    Humilty – a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "The point of humility is that God wants you to know Him; however, pride gets in the way. He wants to give you Himself."

    “Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” — Proverbs 18:12

    Christian, when we walk in humility, we are within the circle of God’s blessing. The world tells us we need more power, money, fame, position, and praise. It tells us we need more of…everything!

    The Bible, however, calls a person like that a leech: the world is a leech!
