Pride

The Lord detest all the proud of heart.  Be Sure of this: they will not go unpunished.
                 Proverbs 16:5
Pride is a dangerous thing, it pits us against each other by displaying why we are different.  Which usually has an "I'm better than you" connotation.  You hear all the time we should celebrate our differences but why not celebrate how we are the same?  
Before Christ religions were pretty much separated by ethnicity.   One of the beautiful things about Christ kingdom is that it is for all the world.   Believers of all ethnicities united in Christ.  When we identify our selves by something else other than Christ it causes conflict.   Whether you are white,  black,  latino, or asian you are Christian first. 
Let's put out identities in Christ first before ethnicity or sexual preference.  
Below I included some pictures to show the ridiculousness of pride.   Notice the black,  whites, and latinos seem to be raising their first at one another.
Much love
Dustin.
