The dangers of being conceit

I have learnt the dangers of being conceited. Often those who are conceited are blinded to their pride and arrogance. They do not see it. As far as they are concerned they deserve to be where they are because of their giftedness or greater knowledge. Proverbs 12:15 (NIV) The way of a fool seems right to him…

But in reality their boasts are often empty. 2 Peter 2:18 (NIV) For they mouth empty, boastful words…

Do you know what the irony is? The sad irony is that actually they know nothing. Because they were so caught up in their own self, they failed to discern truth but got caught up in their own “discoveries”. Romans 1:22 (NIV) Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools... 

But because of their attitude they reject anything that does not fit their perspective.

What do you think?
