Bible verse and quote
by Jan Couns
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. Psalm 5:5a
Pride (attitude of superiority not worth) leads to every other vice; it is the complete anti-God state of mind. C. S. Lewis, 1898–1963

It is . God’s irreconcilable hostility to all evil, which makes human life tolerable in such a world as ours. Stephen Neill
You destroy those who tell lies. Psalm 5:6a

Should fellowship be determined by the holiness of God, who among all the most holy saints in the past and the present would be qualified to hold a moment's perfect communion with Him? Watchman Nee, 1903-72, Chinese Christian evangelist and author
