"A man on his face will never fall from that position." -Larry Stockstill
Arrogance is setting yourself up for falling.
It's so easy to fall when you've got your head up in the clouds. Arrogance is to think that you are above and beyond the rest. In a Christian sense, it means that you feel like you are better than your fellow Christians because of your service, avoidance of sin, or your position/favor within the church.
When you put yourself on a pedestal convinced that you are about as good as Jesus, you start to fall. Why? Because you don't realize where your true faith is going. We're called to be humble. Being humble means to realize that you aren't perfect, no matter how much you try. We are only perfect in Christ. If you're so caught up in yourself, you're nowhere near perfect because you're nowhere near Christ!
Realize you aren't the most awesome person ever, even if you break your back doing things for your church. God loves you more than you can comprehend, and He thinks we're all awesome, but never EVER put yourself above others. We're all equal.
Stop boasting.
Be humble.
Love on others.
