Have you ever found yourself yelling at a podcast?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
The other day I was listening to “Coffee with Scott Adams” and the topic was Kanye West’s response to the public outcry over his recent remarks which many deemed “anti-Semitic”.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Apparently, Kanye had lost a good chunk of his fortune in the aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n
Adams, reporting that Kanye felt God was using the whole episode to “humble him”, asked his audience, “I don’t know what to think about that – is humility even a part of Christian faith? I mean, it’s not listed in the Ten Commandments, is it?”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Adams is an atheist and it was a sincere question seeking an answer. He knows a lot of stuff, but matters of faith are far outside the boundaries of his expertise!<\/p>\n\n\n
An audience member pointed out through the “chat” box that pride is one of the “seven deadly sins” and Adams took that as confirmation that maybe humility was <\/i><\/b>important to Christian faith.<\/p>\n\n\n
The whole exchange made me want to yell.<\/p>\n\n\n
It seems to me that humility is not only a part <\/i>of faith, it is\u00a0foundational <\/b><\/i>to authentic faith in Christ.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Those who are too proud to bow to Jesus as their Lord never come to know Him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
*******<\/p>\n\n\n
