You can serve and not be humble, but you can’t be humble and not serve.

False Humility I do hate, of all things, that humility which lives in the face. There are some persons who always seem to be so very humble when you are with them, but you can discover there is something underneath it all, and when they are in some other society, they will brag and say how you told them your whole heart. Take heed of the men who allow you to lay your head in their lap and betray you into the hands of the Philistines. Charles H. Spurgeon

Humble Service Humility IS: Seeing self as God sees Thinking like Jesus Knowing what really matters Using talents / words to glorify God and teach others Philippians

By their fruits you will know them… Matthew 7: 15 -20 Being snooty, condescending, cocky and arrogant (Proverbs 6: 17) OR The result is the same! • “They have their reward. ” • You got what you wanted – attention. Being fake, pretending to be humble (Col. 2: 18, 23; Matthew 6: 1 -18)

False Humility At the root of all this, may be a person who is pretending to be a Christian. Such usually is an unhappy camper because he has too much of the Bible in him to jump into the world with both feet and he has too much of the world in him to be fully committed to Christ. Roger Shouse

False Humility Whose reward are you seeking? Matthew 6: 1 -18 “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up” (James 4: 10).
