It is very easy in the current struggle against depravity, some of it so weird that it would have confused the pagan world, to let pride take over.
Sin is Satan's playground. He invites you in with promises of fulfillment, happiness and your every expectation being met. He lures you in deeper to those things that are so promising! It is only after a while you notice the barbwire fence around the playground.
Pride, too, is the position we stake in defending God's law, but has Satan's fingerprints on our hearts. We are saying, in essence, we have arrived spiritually and now can look at others with a discerning eye. We can see their behavior and know Scripture well enough to load our Bible 45's and shoot with accuracy.
