“The Sin Of Pride”
d> j ,»i. Lime
"A high look, and a 1’KOI U
HhAHT,...is a sin." ‘Pro*
21:4) As 1 look around me and
come in contact with men and
women from all walks of hie 1
weep for them because as
a whole they are proud in
heart.
A proud heart says. 1 11 have
my own way and do my own
thing You've heard that all
your life A proud heart rises
up. I'll go where I want to
when I want to A proud heart
says. 1 have a mind ol my ow n
A proud heart spits back, here
is my opinion. A proud heart
feels, this is mine. I'll do what
I please with it.
My friends, let me reason
with you just a little God
hates all sin, and the sin of
pride will damn your soul to
Hell. No proud man is saved!
Many times you hear indivi
duals say, take pride in this or
that A soul may speak up, you
ought to be proud of your
family. No, we should be
thankful. A proud heart is not
thankful unto the Lord You
cannot be thankful as long as
you are proud and you will
never be saved until all pride
is hidden from you. According
to Job 33 all pride has to be
hidden from a sinner before he
can know the Lord Jesus
Lnrist as Lord and Saviour
When the Lord began to deal
with my heart for salvation. I
was one of the proudest devils
that ever walked on this earth
I was so steeped in pride, my
opinion, and what I wanted to
do. There are no words to des
cribe how proud I was. All
those years I was so proud and
selfish, not one time did I sit
down and ask the Lord what
He wanted me to do. No, it was
all J.M. Little. Neither did I
realize that one day the grace
of God would get hold of my
rebellious and proud heart and
lay me prostrate at His feet
praying for mercy. I praise
the Lord He stopped my proud
heart that was on the road to;
Hell. Oh may the Lord get hold
of your heart dear friend as He
did mine. May the Lord show
you that YOU are wrong as He
did me - grant you repentence
toward God arid give you faith •
to believe in Christ to the
salvation of your soul.
Oh, if you only knew the
sweetness of knowning the
lovely Lord Jesus Christ. Oh
that your eyes could be opened
to see the beauty of Christ.
Your eyes are closed by pride
now. You are blinded to your
true lost condition and your
need of the Saviour. Pride
J. M. Little
won I lei you see me beaut\ ol
Christ and your need of Him
I weep for you.
My heart goes out to you
who are blinded by this dam
nable sin. My heart goes out to
my family, my friends and mv
enemies. Satan has you blind
ed. Satan is telling you that
God's servants are against
you and don't love you. 1 do
love you. I told a woman here
one time that I would die for
her if I had to that she might
be saved. Well, Someone has
already died for you, but you
don't want Him. Christ died
for you, all your sins. Why go
to Hell? Christ went to Hell for
you if you’ll turn to Him. Turn
to Him now! Tomorrow may
be too late friends.
We have seen in the Scrip
tures many proud men who
went down to Hell because
they refused to bow to the
Lord Jesus Christ. We have
seen some proud men that God
saved. King Nebuchadnezzar
was one of the proudest men
on earth. This is mighty Baby
lon which I have built by. the
might of my power, for my
glory (read Daniel 4). The
Lord broke the king by taking
the kingdom away from him
and putting him out to past
ure. He ate grass as did the
oxen and his hairs were grown
like eagles' feathers, and his
nails like bird’s claws. Now
you may ask, Bro. Little
wasn't that an awful thing for
God to do to the King? Brother
you listen, GOD IS SOVERE
IGN! Ane HE can and will do
with you as He pleases. YOU
don’t tell God what to do with
you' Now you just shut up and
listen to the Lord. If you don t
you'll never be saved. You
see. you think it was awful lor
God to turn the King out like
an ox But you don't think it is
awful to try to steal honor
r
from the Lord by being proud
Pride is trying to steal honoi
form the Lord. You had better
leave off thinking that the
Lord does awful things and
get to asking God to show you
what an aw ful state you are in
One of the things that makes
me most righteously indignant
is you proud devils going
around here accusing Goo ot
wronging you and you don t
see vour awfulness of sinning
against God You think God is
wrong. Before you are ever
saved if you ever are. Yul
are going to see that YOL re
the one that is wrong
I have had proud sinners tell
me, "you have no right to call
me a sinner." Well, God says
you are a sinner and you are
going to admit to God that you
are a rotten low-down Hell
deserving sinner or go to Hell
for all your trouble! Now
you let that soak in. You are
going to acknowledge what
you are and who you are as is
laid out in the Word or go to
Hell! Go on to Hell then. The
door is wide open and you are
going to split Hell wide open!
And all that pretty black hair
will be burning in Hell. You
ar* jest the dust of the earth
sister!
