Theological pride, a deadly sin,
It lurks within, and tugs within,
We must be vigilant, or else it grows,
Like a weed, it chokes out love and grows,
We think we're right, we think we know,
But do we show, the love that flows,
From Christ, our Lord, our guiding light,
Do we fight, with all our might,
For truth and love, or just to win,
Our pride within, consumes us within,
We must repent, and turn away,
From this deadly sin, that leads astray,
Let love lead the way, in all we do,
Let Christ be true, in all we pursue,
For only then, will we be free,
From pride and sin, and truly see,
The love of Christ, in all its might,
And bask in His light, shining bright.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
