Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with Pride goes before destruction. As we pick up in Proverbs chapter 16 verse 17 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck. The highway of the upright is to depart

from evil,

and he that keeps his way preserveth is soul.

Then one that is very familiar but so often misquoted.

How many times you've heard people say,

pride goeth before a fall? That's not a scripture. This is the scripture from which that

quotation is taken, but it is misquoted.

Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

So, spirit before a fall. So pride goes before destruction. That haughty spirit is

going to be brought down. Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord.

He shall lift thee up.
