WARNING: It's a little loud..my mic did not adjust properly! You might have to adjust your volume! Sorry! Pride is the disposition to exalt self, get above others, and conceal defects. Ever since the Fall man has had the tendency to confess someone else's sins instead of his own. This is hardly surprising since the heart of man is "deceitful above all things" (Jer. 17:9). And the reason man's heart is so deceitful is because of inborn haughtiness. "Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart" (Jer. 49:16). Contrary to popular thinking, we are not good people who happen to do bad things—we are sinners through and through. And it is the deceptive nature of pride which brings such reluctance to admit our sins. www.christlifemin.org/home/blog/articles/the-great-sin/
