"We should shun everything that would encourage pride and self-sufficiency; therefore we should beware of giving or recieving flattery or praise. It is satan's work to flatter. He deals in flattery as well as in accusing and condemnation." Christ's Object Lessons p. 64 E.G.W. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Proverbs 8:13
