Richard J. Foster Quotes About Pride

• Joy, not grit, is the hallmark of holy obedience. We need to be light-hearted in what we do to avoid taking ourselves too seriously. It is a cheerful revolt against self and pride.

  Richard J. Foster

  Pride, Light, Self

• Nada disciplina los deseos desordenados de la carne como el servicio, y nada transforma los deseos de la carne como el servicio oculto. La carne gime contra el servicio, pero grita contra el servicio oculto. Se esfuerza y tira del honor y el reconocimiento. Ideará medios sutiles y religiosamente aceptables para llamar la atención sobre el servicio prestado. Si nos negamos firmemente a ceder a esta lujuria de la carne, la crucificamos. Cada vez que crucificamos la carne, crucificamos nuestro orgullo y arrogancia.

  Mean, Pride, Discipline

• But if we know that the people of God are first a fellowship of sinners, we are freed to hear the unconditional call of God's love and to confess our needs openly before our brothers and sisters. The fear and pride that clings to us like barnacles cling to others also. In acts of mutual confession we release the power that heals. Our humanity is no longer denied, but transformed.

  Brother, Pride, People

• Pride is one of the socially acceptable sins in some corners of the evangelical culture. Its just straight-out ego gratification - how important I am; whether my name gets on the building or on the TV program or in the magazine article.
