10 ways to recognize arrogance

[Kathi]

http://www.christianpost.com/news/10-ways-to-recognize-our-arrogance-120631/
I'm writing this post for me as much as for anyone. In the past months, I've re-read Jim Collins' How the Mighty Fall and Tim Irwin's Derailed. Both of these gripping studies review the process of decline in leaders and organizations, especially in leaders who perhaps once thought themselves invincible.
These studies challenge me because I know I'm prideful. I also know that "Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall" (Prov. 16:18, HCSB). With me, use these potential markers of arrogance to avoid such a fall.

7 of those ways apply to me.:-(

 

[for_his_glory]

Mat 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

How can we be perfect? Answer, not judge others and be spiritually minded in all matters as this is perfection that is pleasing to the Father.

Rom 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Rom 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Rom 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Marker #10: This post bothers you . . . or doesn't bother you.

If these words bother you, you may be coming face-to-face with reality in your life. If they don't bother you, you may be failing to see the arrogance that characterizes all of us.

If it bothers you, then you're arrogant and you know it, but if it doesn't bother you, then you're still arrogant, but don't want to admit it. Why bother with the others? This one condemns everybody as being arrogant.

James 2:9-13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
9 But if you show servile regard (prejudice, favoritism) for people, you commit sin and are rebuked and convicted by the Law as violators and offenders.
10 For whosoever keeps the Law [as a] whole but stumbles and offends in one [single instance] has become guilty of [breaking] all of it.
11 For He Who said, You shall not commit adultery, also said, You shall not kill. If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you have become guilty of transgressing the [whole] Law.

I know there are times when I can be arrogant when pride gets in the way. :blush

7/10? Wow. You made an "A".

 

[Classik]

How about those who are thought guilty of the 10 and are not in reality arrogant?
