Sin simply means missing the mark. When we miss the mark in our thoughts, acts and deeds, it is considered sin. The root of sin is usually pride. Pride gets most people in trouble in their relationships with family, friends, and on the job.
The pride I'm talking about defined: Arrogant or disdainful conduct or treatment; haughtiness.
Pride snuffs out unity, love, and forgiveness. It breeds bitterness, strife and scorn and unforgiveness.
Just thinking about the last time I cut an attitude. Pride stepped in and said, "I'll take it from here." Uckk!!

You broke it down. Pride gets in the way of a lot of things. It can ruin a friendship, break up marriages, and the list goes on and on.
Yes, Yes, Yes Shelia! It's a shame for some of us, we live our whole lives mad, angry and bitter with pride prevailing over our peace and humility. God bless us all! Thanks for stopping by.
