When Peter is talking to the churches in 2 Peter 2 about Persecution, he brings up one interesting name: Lot. We don’t often remember Lot for his goodness, but Peter says that his “righteous soul was vexed” by the immorality that was around him daily. Daniel was in the same boat. Exiled in Babylon after the destruction of Judah, Daniel lived decades in a land that was pagan in every sense of the word: religiously, culturally, emotionally, and physically. Many of us know how those two men felt. How do we survive in a pagan world that is hostile to all things Christ? The same way they did.

CloseSomeone has once wisely called pride the most "brainless sin" there ever was. Not only is it short-sighted, but it leaves the one guilty with absolutely zero to show for their sins. Only destruction. For that reason, pride is a little bit of a paradox. It can make you feel invincible -- super human, even. But right when you feel that way, it begins the start of your downfall. It's a self-defeating sin, and one that many people don't even know they're guilty of (if they are). Why? Because the one guilty of pride usually is too proud to believe there's anything wrong with them in the first place. That makes pride an especially dangerous sin for Christians.
