“Proverbs tells us, "Pride only leads to arguments" (13:10 NCV). The proud are magnetically attracted to conflict. And when the proud get into a squabble, it can become epic, because the hardest thing in the world would be for them to apologize. That requires humility. Some words and phrases just won't come out of the prideful mouth. "I was wrong. Please forgive me," for example. It's agonizing because it feels like defeat, and proud people are obsessive about being undefeated in arguments, class discussions, political conversations, and family disputes. And proud people love to make their point on the Internet. The few, the proud (unfortunately the proud are not few) will wait out the worst disagreements without apologizing. They can hold out for decades, kind of hoping it all blows over. "I was wrong" or "that was my fault" are out of the question. On the very, very rare occasion one of the proud apologizes, he'll qualify it: "I'm sorry-but ... " Qualified apologies never seem to work.”

Christian nation, Christian morality, Christian values, Christian family.”
