This man is a great example of humility.

Cut to the heart and at the same time encouraged to pursue humility. Thanks so much!

A fantastic interaction with a brother that has spent time meditating on this issue. Thank you!

Praise God for bringing to us this great need in each of us. Thank you so much. It has been a great reflection to keep in mind. God bless you.

This is one of the best advice on humility I’ve ever heard! Thank you Dr Parsons

Great point about humility NOT meaning being a pushover.

Thank you for that. I needed to hear that. I would also like to say that I appreciate your recognition of the mystery of humility as it is a very paradoxical experience, as you described...as you even struggled to describe, because it is difficult to put into words the self-paradoxical nature of humility.

As newborn babies desire the sincere Milk of the word to grow thereby!

Well said. A great rememinder. Thank you

Esta serie y todo el ministerio son de mucha bendición. Muchas gracias Ministerio Ligonier!! Dios les bendiga mucho!!

Don’t worry Saints A child of God will be disciplined by our loving Father

One way to practically encourage the cultivation of humility in our lives is to think about ourselves less and others more. Putting others first. Asking what you can do for someone else. Keeping your eyes fully on God and His character and everything He has done for us and thanking Him as often as possible. Just as Burk said, humility is one of those things that by seeking it we can just about guarantee we lose it. Oh our prideful hearts! What a wonderful day when we will be free from these wretched bodies.

Sound advice Brother, thank you!

So Good Thank You !

I have prayed openly for God to give me more challenges because I believed I was too comfortable, take things for granted, and I don't appreciate anything.

thank u. amen O Lord.

Thank you Pastor Burk. I need this

Insightful perspective.

Prideful praying for humility is rare in the closet.

Thank you

Simply, you grow in humility in brokenness and realization of the depths of your sins, which Christ has beared the wrath, for your sake, specifically. To quote RC, "Right now counts forever". . . .

Amen

Humility is the secret weapon. Oh God that we would remind ourselves everyday, we have been crucified with Christ it is no longer us, about us, or praise for us, who live but Christ.

THANKYOU for bringing this very important subject forward....for what it's worth....very useful book, "Humility; the Beauty of Holiness", Andrew Murray....also on yt read very well, and even considering theological viewpoint differences, which did not detract from the power or Truth of the content.......a Blessing.

I think in essence pride is a desire to be worshipped as God alone should be worshipped.

I appreciate this.

Thank you I needed this

Only God can CREATE true humility. It cannot be faked or acted out. It has to be produced in the HEART by the Spirit of God, not by going thru the motions and mimicking. It is created after years of humiliation, disgrace and loathing of our true selves as God let's us fall on our face as realize what jerks we are.

“For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. “ Hebrews 12:6-9

you ask God to humble you and he sends you lots of pain! EZ

I didn't know he lost 2 fingers, does anybody know his story?

Matt 11:11 Truly I tell you, *among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist* ; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Acts 13:24-25 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. 25 As John was completing his work, he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But *there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie* .’

Sounds like free will mischief!

In biblical times people humbled themselves by putting on sackclothes! - Maybe it would help when you get rid of your comfort & luxury, your expensive clothes, your double set of cars,your delicious food and the plenty unnecessary items in your house. HumIlity SERVES!

Pride is the highest sin it's the lie of the devil and separates us from God as we seek to be our own gods
