“ourselves. Perhaps for many of us, the greatest indicator of pride in our hearts is not the presence of boasting but the absence of prayer. We often identify pride through really obvious things like bragging, boasting, and name-dropping. But if I want to discover the most accurate measure of self-reliance in my own life, I need look no further than within the mirror of my prayer-life.”

“Every Christian, to some degree, is a recovering control freak. It is only when we come to the place of accepting our rightful role as creature rather than Creator, servant rather than Master, child rather than Father, that we find the rest we most long for.”

“The gospel means that I’m not all that awesome. But I am loved. And that’s awesome.”

“The door of pride looks like a royal promotion, but it leads into a prison cell. The door of humility looks like a restriction, but it opens up into an eternal horizon of freedom.”
