What is one of the most devastatingly destructive and painful traits of man, yet one so common and seemingly so innocent? Unfortunately, this human short-coming also constantly seems to reappear in Christian life, limiting spiritual growth and subsequent happiness. Do you know what it is? It's the act of evaluating and comparing ourselves with others! The apostle Paul faced this problem in the first century Christian Church: "We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise" (II Corinthians 10:12, New International Version). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
