Pursuing Humility

Mark Driscoll the senior pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle recently preached a great message on humility. In the first of his message he confessed that in the past 11 years the number one setback in his ministry has been pride. Therefore Mark now says that he is a man who is pursuing humility by God's grace.

He starts by contrasting between humility and pride

Humility	Pride
greatest friend	greatest enemy
Christ-like	demonic
compare to Jesus	compare with others less than us
celebrate others success	covet the success of others
about Jesus and others	about me
God’s glory	my glory (praise me)
God is the giver	I serve based on duty and recognition
confidence	arrogance
dependence	independence
mother of all joy	mother of all sin
