Pride Stinks!
Pride stinks! The problem is, the proud person is the only one who doesn’t smell it. You can put pride into perspective by recognizing you’re reliant on God for every breath you take.
The Christian life is difficult sometimes, isn't it? God asks us to leave behind our selfishness and devote ourselves to Jesus Christ in the service of others. This journey has a clear beginning and an even clearer end, but its path is littered with dangerous obstructions and precarious curves. Thankfully, its destination provides lasting, eternal rewards.
Chances are you have experienced the difficulty of losing your way on the journey. We've all been tempted to stray, to step away from the fundamentals of authentic Christian living toward the more immediate fulfilments we desire for ourselves. But God calls us to a life devoted to studying the Scriptures, to prayer, and most important, to knowing Christ Himself.
Let these resources remind you that the goal isn't just reaching our heavenly destination but walking closely with Jesus as we get there.

In a concluding survey of Job, Pastor Chuck Swindoll draws out seven lessons Job teaches us about ourselves.
Pastor Chuck Swindoll expounds upon the blessings and the rewards God gifted Job (Job 42). In this message, you’ll also find wisdom for aging well.
In Hebrew, the word “integrity” means an unimpaired condition. Another word is “solid.” A person with integrity is not divided or devious.
Like an accused criminal with no defense attorney, Job represents himself and presents his case before his friends. He even invites an answer from his sovereign Judge.
In this passage, Job declares truth about God. He is determined to think God’s thoughts, rather than rely on humanistic reasoning.
Tune in to hear Pastor Chuck Swindoll talk about Job’s shrewd response to Zophar’s painfully inaccurate accusations (Job 20–21). Compare and contrast the lives of the righteous and wicked.
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he examines the condemnation and rebuke of a friend with hasty assumptions.
Nothing you do for the Lord is ever wasted. It’s never in vain. Even if you receive no credit or even a “thank you” don’t be discouraged! God promises you will be rewarded when the time is right.
Chuck Swindoll tells us to remain students for the rest of our lives. He says to those in education, “press on; never quit. Never stop studying. Never stop reading. Never stop learning. Don’t believe it because someone says it. Find out for yourself. Never stop. Press on.” That’s good advice for all of us.
