Conceit: Excessive appreciation of one's own worth or virtue. (Merriam-Webster)

This is a problem a lot of Christians struggle with. We become so proud of our Biblical knowledge or confidence in our salvation that we become blinded by our pride and put ourselves on a pedestal like we're something to admire. Looking down on others is not what a Christian should do - Jesus Himself didn't do that, He came down from His pedestal to live with us - the parasites of the universe.

Be careful not to let your Christian pride get the best of you. If that happens, you'll be a Christian by name, but not a Christian by heart.

Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; though they join forces, none will go unpunished. (Proverbs 16:5 NKJV)

Love this song:
Michael Card: God's Own Fool

This was my university's theme song for this semester's Week of Prayer: Reign In Us
