Pride and Humility in the characters are expressed in their eyes! Nice work!! Special appreciation to the animation team 🎉

I think it’s a common mistake to think that pride is defined by good personal hygiene and The enjoyment of dressing in a way you like.
That’s not it. Pride is looking down on others who do not. Or believing that your appearance defines you as a better person.

I love the funny animation 😂. And of course the insight this gives to the scripture

“As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.”
― *C.S. Lewis*, Mere Christianity

Land of the morning,
Child of the sun returning,
With fervor burning
Thee do our souls adore.

Land dear and holy,
Cradle of noble heroes,
Ne'er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shores.

Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds,
And o'er thy hills and seas,
Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb
Of glorious liberty.

Thy banner dear to all our hearts,
Its sun and stars alight,
Oh, never shall its shining fields
Be dimmed by tyrant's might!

Beautiful land of love, o land of light,
In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie,
But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged,
For us, thy sons to suffer and die.

@The Bible Effect - Thank you for this video! Per usual it was really great. Can you recommend any books that helped you (you guys) learn more about the context of the Bible?

[rosehammer]

I recommend people read the book Humility by Andrew Murray. He also wrote several books on the spiritual life and prayer

😇 *The Name Jesus Is Used Once In Colossians 4:11, 19 Times In God's Apocrypha And Twice In Ecclesiasticus Chapter 1 “The Prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach; And His Grand Dad Named Was Jesus Too. This Is Our True Saviour's Saying John 8:32 And Ye Shall Know The Truth, and The Truth Shall Make You Free. Now Behold Isaiah 7:10-15 & Matthew 1:18-23 And Be Blessed & Blissful Forevermore. !!! & !!!* 🤔

🤦, conservative and liberal celebrities or movements are NOT hills to die on. "A reminder for all of us...". "continue to place out loyalty in Christ alone"
