By now you have all heard of the tweeting indiscretions of New York Congressman Anthony Weiner. Like me, I'm sure you have sat back in disbelief all week and wondered, "Why?" Why would anyone do that? I believe one word explains it all - PRIDE. If you have had any opportunity to see Weiner in action as a congressman you know it is obvious. This man has carried himself in a more egotistic fashion than almost anyone else in Washington - and that's saying a lot! Now the arrogance demonstrated in interviews and grandstanding sessions on the congressional floor has placed him center stage in one of the most embarrassing public scandals that's come around in a while. Only pride could convince someone they could get away with this kind of thing.Pride wants to convince us of the same. Go on doing what you want! No one will ever know. God doesn't notice!
Galatians 6:7 says, Do not be deceived: God cannot be not mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Don't be fooled. Don't listen to pride! Don't be a weiner!
I can't help but feel for this guy. He THINKS he's on top of the world (the worldly world) great career, new wife and an innocent baby on the way according to the news reports. Pride...sometimes the lessons in life from God can truly knock you on your backside.
ReplyDeleteHere's the amazement...51% of the polled people in his district think he should NOT resign.....AND only a handful of his party have asked him to step down Jeff.
ReplyDeleteHe is very cocky.
ReplyDeleteDay is telling me the same thing that Tony is saying.....except he said FIFTY SIX percent of his district are telling him to hang in there....oh my! What do you do with that????
