You can be a humble person and yet be overcome with sinful pride in a moment's time. Pride is a sin that we all contend with daily, especially in a selfish consumer-oriented, materialistic, American culture that continually appeals to our selfish desires and egos to sell products. For example: McDonalds says, “You deserve a break today!” In truth, we all deserve to burn in Hell today. Could you imagine driving down the street, hearing a singing advertisement over the radio... “You deserve Hell today, at McDonalds!” Or how about Burger King's ads which say, “Have it your way! Have it your way!” Biblically, we ought to have it God's way. Do you see how humanistic sinful pride saturates our heathen culture? As Christians we must always be on-guard against these type of sinful suggestive philosophies that fill our hearts with pride.

Anytime you gossip, condemn, point fingers or criticize OTHERS for their sins, faults or shortcomings, it is only because your heart is filled with wicked self-righteous pride, the worst sin of all.
