Dr. H. A. Ironside told the following story at a Bible conference:
A small Christian sect of an exclusive temperament was
holding a convention. Outside the auditorium there was displayed the motto,
"Jesus Only."
A strong wind blew the first three letters away. "Us
Only" is too often the spirit shown by Christians of narrow vision.

“We have within us a self that has its poison from Satan -
from hell - and yet we cherish and nourish it. What do we not do to please self
and nourish self - and we make the devil within us strong. Look at your own
life. What are the works of hell? They are chiefly these three: self-will, self-trust,
and self-exaltation.” - Andrew Murray.
Pro 16:18 (HCSB): “Pride comes before destruction and an
arrogant spirit before a fall.”
