The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He that keepeth his way, preserveth his soul. Pride goeth before the destruction. And a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of a humble spirit with a, with lowly, then to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good and whoso trusteth in the Lord. Happy is he. The wise in heart shall be called prudent and the sweetness of their lips increases learning. Understanding is a wellspring of life, unto him that hath it. But the instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. There is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." James 1:19-20 (NIV) “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” The Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 5-7  Proverbs 11:2 "When pride comes, then comes disgrace.  But with humility comes wisdom." Matthew 5:29 (KJV) “And if thy right eye offends thee, pluck it out, cast it from thee, for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.” Connect with Connected in Christ:  -  [Website] https://thestrongandcapable.com/elementor-2125/    - [Facebook] https://www.facebook.com/ConnectedinChristpodcast   - [Instagram] @connectedinchristpodcast Support the Show: - If you would like to support the podcast you can donate to our PayPal account, [email protected] - Please subscribe, leave a review, share the episode, or follow us on social media.
