Nitty-Gritty

We can be very proud if we understand the right doctrines and have certain opinions. But when we deal with the very nitty-gritty of living the way Jesus taught us, none of us can act very proud. ~ Brian McLaren, in an interview with beliefnet.com

I am not happy with the "We can be very proud if we understand the right doctrines and have certain opinions" part!

I believe that we should not be proud for all wisdom comes from God and no one is smarter than the other in the eyes of God!

Isn't it ironic that Brian MacLaren was talking about being humble?

hi anonymous! (do I know you?) :P

well... I guess it's how we interpret what McLaren meant when he said that.

For me, I would read it as 'Some of us feel very proud when we understand the right doctrines and have certain opinions'. I think this was what he meant.

And i have to admit that I feel that way some times... :)
