What's It Going to Take?

The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands. (Rev 9:20a)

The stubbornness of the human heart is amazing. The pride not to admit fault or error is so strong in our fallen nature it infects even the believer. How many Christians are locked into their spiritual immaturity by an unwillingness to admit their need to change? How attached we are to our preening egos and our false pleasures! They keep us locked in impotence and defeat. No wonder it seems that half the book of Proverbs is devoted to the wisdom of receiving correction and instruction (e.g. Pro 12:1). We need it!
