Pride is Satan’s curve ball. More souls have gone down swinging at that sucker pitch than any other. Satan throws it so well because it’s the oldest trick in his bag. He’s been practicing it since the Garden of Eden. Pride is the original sin that brought down Adam and Eve. It is the gateway sin that opens the door to a host of evil… from petty snobbery to genocide. That’s why pride is the sin that Jesus identifies over and over for condemnation.
