2 Corinthians 10

(4) the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world, we do not wage war contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

The advantage we have over the world is that because we aren’t necessarily the most powerful or intelligent community we choose to rely solely on God as our source motivation for everything.

(12) We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

Many church goers suffer pride issues that they aren’t even aware off, this is usually because they are better at imitating church culture than others. We can compare ourselves to others and boost up our ego to assure salvation but when we measure up our standards to God, we realise our true worth. Romans 3:10-12 speaks true to us, none of us are worthy of God’s sympathy, we are all dirt.
