Paul E. Little [Christianity Today, Vol. 33, no. 14.] “It sounds terribly spiritual to say ‘God led me’, but I am always suspicious of a person who implies that he has a ‘personal’ pipeline to God. When no one else senses that what the person suggests is the will of God, then we had better be careful. God has been blamed for the most outlandish things by people who have confused their own inverted pride with God's will.” 2

C. S. Lewis "There is one vice of which no man in the world is free.... The vice I am talking about is Pride or Self-conceit..... Pride leads to every other vice.... A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.... Pride is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense." 4
