pride of humility

“False humility,” Os Guinness has warned, “is actually self-driven and self-absorbed. A person who is falsely humble is a person who is truly proud.”

John Koessler, True Discipleship, p. 42-43,
quoting Os Guinness, Steering Through Chaos, p. 61.


what is our calling

The very notion of a special call by God often betrays the fact that something is awry in understanding the original call. This tension is sharpest in the prophet – the prophet is specially called to critique and challenge the people of God when they have forgotten or betrayed their original calling.
