Monday // Surrender :: Idols
Title: To get out of whack Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8 Idols, We all have them, but I don’t realize I have them.

Monday // Surrender :: Pride
Title: Good Pride/Bad Pride “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall – Proverbs 16:18 We all have pride. Be sure not to label all pride as bad. There is good pride in good things (being proud of your kids, for example). The warning of pride here is the empty kind. A haughty spirit is a heart that is overinflated and infatuated with oneself. […]
