- The proud speak evil of others (vv. 11-12)
- We do this by tearing someone down behind their back
- To criticize and judge others is to condemn them
- When we criticize and judge others, we are attempting to take over God’s rightful place as Judge
- The proud think they have control over their lives (vv. 13-14)
- Our lives are nothing more than a vapor—Your life change without any warning
- What is the end goal to your plans and dreams of your life?
- The proud brag about their pride (vv. 15-17)
- We are living in complete arrogance when we brag about our plans
- We must have an attitude that God is in control
A Pride Problem
