Spiritual Pride

Exaulting, defending and imposing our own will while
self righteously punishing opponents and detractors...
This Truly is our most intoxicating Spiritual Deception.

Will we follow in Christ's steps of (humble) obedience...
or expect Him to follow us in our selfrighteousness and zeal? 

Pause and Consider...
(Who) expressed the highest religious aspiration?

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isaih 14: 13b-14

(Answer)
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
Isaih 14:12-13a

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isaih 14:15
