Proverbs 16:18
Today we are continuing our study of "God's Wisdom For Life's Decisions" from the book of wisdom, the book of Proverbs. And today we are talking about "How Not To Self-destruct."

Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
That is an ominous warning, prides goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. In Proverbs 6 where he lists the seven deadly sins he says, "six things does God hate, yea seven are an abomination to Him. A proud look, a lying tongue," And he mentions what we call the seven deadly sins, pride is at the top of the list. And the reason is pride is the root sin from which all other sin comes.
And as we are going to see, pride was the sin that brought down the human race ...
