PRIDE



Timothy McVeigh was executed for bombing the federal building in Oklahoma. He did not speak any final words, but he did have a handwritten statement distributed at his execution which included portions of the poem Invictus.

“It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”

Pride keeps the sinner from acknowledging he is wrong.

- Harvey Kushner  (ministry127.com)

Pro 16:18 (GNT): “Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall.”

“Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility.” -  Jonathan Edwards.
