CROSSWORD CLUES

10/8/12
2 Down. Self importance. 3 letters.
Last weeks USA Today’s crossword puzzle clue had an easy answer. EGO.
This week as I have been preparing a lesson from James 4:1-10, I’ve come face to face with the sin of prIde, which is the result of an over-inflated ego.
An ego, simply stated, that……..
Edges
God
Out

The remedy for that sin, given both in James and Philippians, is humility. A “more of Thee and less of me” concept.
Don’t do anything for selfish purposes, but with humility think of others as better than yourselves. ;(Philippians 2:3, CEB)
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; (Philippians 2:3, NASB)
Putting self before God and others is sin---the clues to that truth are found in God’s word. 

Who inspires all scripture?

Three letters. Starts with G.
