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
Prideful praying for humility is rare in the closet.
Esta serie y todo el ministerio son de mucha bendición.
Muchas gracias Ministerio Ligonier!!
Dios les bendiga mucho!!
As newborn babies desire the sincere
Milk of the word to grow thereby!
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.
Great point about humility NOT meaning being a pushover.
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.
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.
Don’t worry Saints
A child of God will be disciplined by our loving Father
Well said. A great rememinder.
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!!
Amen to that
thank u. amen O Lord.
Sound advice Brother, thank you!
So Good Thank You !
Thank you Pastor Burk. I need this
Insightful perspective.
Thank you
I think in essence pride is a desire to be worshipped as God alone should be worshipped.
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've read this book. Loved it.
I appreciate this.
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.
Amen

This video came at the right time
Thank you I needed this
Watching for 2nd time.
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
Amen
you ask God to humble you and he sends you lots of pain! EZ
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!
Amen, Olive! I could not agree with you more. ✝️👏😇
@@Just_A_Wafaring_Stranger Blessings on you!🕊🕊🕊
@@OliveWeitzel I'm in awe, Olive, of how well you articulated that!! You ROCK. 😁😘😘😘😘😘😘
@@Just_A_Wafaring_Stranger Not my words. The Spirit gave them to in a twinkling of an eye - I meditate on the Lord's sermon.often. Doesn't HE tell us there how we should live: the one with two coats shall give one away to somebody who does not have one...etc. Rich "christians" meditate and think about humlity, but KING YESHUA says that we must DO what HE says. - I wish I would DO more to humble myself.😔
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* .’
I didn't know he lost 2 fingers, does anybody know his story?
His dad had a cabinet shop and he lost them in a machine as a young man. Also, He was asked to be one of the news boys and back street boys. He Turned down millions to preach the gospel.

Sounds like free will mischief!
Please be more specific.
@@pauljensen4773 these people operate all day every day in a Free-will framework and yet they preach and teach calvinism.
How on earth can anyone "grow in humility"?? We can only do exactly what God has decreed for us. Right?
🙄
Sounds like you misunderstood
@@John17apologetics To be honest I don't know how Gods sovereignty works through out every detail of our lives. He could sovereignly decide to allow some molecules to behave in a way that he doesn't pay any attention to it. Knowing that it's behavior would have zero impact on His plan. It isn't easy for me to make sense of this theology.
But what about this specific video made you say, "Sounds like free will mischief!"? I really don't follow.
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
