Anti-Anti's Modern Prosperendum

I recently read a blog post about signs of pride. Most of them were useful, but one was said in a way that blots out a gigantic part of Christian love while highlighting another useful sign of pride. Well, this thing has been pervasive in many Christian groups, and I've never in my life seen the biblical method in action - it's blotted out in our practice. The sign of pride in view here is fault finding. A prideful heart indeed nitpicks others while ignoring sin in self.
