Fighting the Sin of Pride

According to the Bible, "Pride goes before destruction" (Prov. 16:18), "When pride comes, then comes disgrace" (Prov. 11:2), "The Lord tears down the house of the proud" (Prov.15:25), "The pride of your heart has deceived you" (Obad. 1:3), and “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble" (Jas. 4:6). If Pride is one of those root sins that give rise to many other sins, how can we fight the sin of pride?

Questions for Postmillennialism

In this episode, two Amillennialists, Zac and Brandon, ask critical questions of Postmillennialism. Will the world become Christianized into an earthly "golden era" before Jesus returns, or will the church continue to be a pilgrim church, walking through the wilderness, experiencing persecution and martyrdom, and awaiting triumph in the New Heavens and New Earth? These matters and more are discussed in this episode.
