Pride is a dangerously subtle weakness. In our culture, it’s generally seen as a good thing. We are raised to believe that we’re supposed to have a sense of pride in ourselves. But, as we take a look at the example of Saul with Pastor Mark, we are reminded of just how treacherous this sinful attitude can be. Saul was anointed and placed in his position of leadership by God, but somewhere along the way, he started to think he could go it alone. He started to take the glory for his accomplishments, and that led to his downfall. We can expect the same results if we try to live out God’s mission on our own.
