07/02/23 | We have RULES for everything. There are rules of the road, rules for the games we play, rule of law. Spiritually speaking, a RULE OF LIFE consists of core values, core beliefs, and core practices. It’s a CODE OF CONDUCT—rituals and routines, decisions and disciplines—by which we live our lives.
How does one become an enemy of God? James writes: "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble," (James 4:6). In Week 5 "Rule of Humility," Pastor Matt shows that PRIDE, or being full of self, is what makes us an enemy of God. Yet God will generously give grace to those who admit their need for Him. As C.S. Lewis writes, “True humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.” Reading from James chapter 4, we see that:
False Humility is:
1) Thinking Less of Yourself
2) Talking More of Yourself
True Humility is:
1) SERVICE: Thinking of Others More
2) WORSHIP: Thinking More of God
