If you lose your compassion for other people and if you lose humility of heart, there is danger that you will lose your confidence in the Word of God. If we are people who care about other people and if we are men and women who have a humble heart, then we can also be men and women who have great confidence in God's grace. If you would like to bring up the ragtag rear of the Christian army, then build your life on the shifting sands of your opinions and desires.  But, if you want to stand tall in the army of faith, build your life on the solid rock of the absolute authority and power of the Word of God.  Other passages mentioned include: Galatians 5:6; 1 Peter 5:5-7 and James 4:6.
