 Laodiceans were arrogant (Rev. 3:17).
 A healthy dose of humility is what we need.
 Romans 12:3; I Peter 5:6.
We are honest with ourselves and God
 Jesus abides in us; we can be good (John 15:4).
 Honesty at heart of confession (I John 1:8-10).
 Psalm 139:23-24: David’s life is no different
than ours.

 Bible study (Eph. 6:11-13; John 17:17; II Tim.
3:16-17; Col. 1:5; Rom. 10:17; Acts 20:32).
 Prayer (I Thess. 5:16-18; Eph. 6:18-20).
 Time with God’s family (Acts 2:46-47).
Listen to what Jesus says
 He is the pilot, setting the course (Isaiah 64:8).
