I remember a scout group that did something they called "light as a feather, stiff as a board."
That's what that reminds me of.

Starting a teaching with "I would like to begin by saying that I am not the most humble man alive, but I am certainly not arrogant" is very, very sketchy to say the least
If one has to try and convince others they are "the most humble man alive" and "not arrogant" that alone is reason enough to not read any further!
It's already been proven the earth is round so the flat earth thing has been debunked and defunct.

Did you not quote him as saying "I am not the most humble man alive"...???
I would certainly agree that it seemed a little strange that he would put that in his post; however, I think he believed it would serve a purpose as part of the "set up" for what he expressed in the rest of the paragraph.

Thank You GaryA for pointing this out. I had debated on whether I wanted to do the same myself. The reason I started with that statement was to express that the presentation wasn't given out of arrogance, but sincerity. I'll not re-write the entire paragraph (because anyone can go back and read it), but the part about arrogance having no place in Truth is still true.
The statement about not being the most humble man alive was simply to state that I understand that I have my opinions just like everyone else and don't consider myself above other people (more blessed indeed, but not better than). And while I was much more opinionated in my youth, the last few decades have proved very humbling experience and, as I said, I know that I am not arrogant.
Why do I say all of this? Well, I'm sorry to have to say it, but there is a LOT of arrogance displayed on this sight. It's unfortunate, because when expressed has a way of destroying the credibility of the speaker no matter how much he thinks he knows and speaks the truth. Jesus is TRUTH, and I believe those that will know the Truth (and try to live it after they come to know it) will take on the characteristics of the Master, among which are compassion, humility, and meekness. No matter how much one expresses his opinions that he believes to be Truth, HOW he expresses it doesn't go un-noticed.

You mean they ones they used the song from the drinks in the pubs in England back in the day and just changed the words?
That's as bad and I hear some have taken the satanic song highway to hell by the satanic band AC-DC and change the words to say highway to heaven and thing the Lord is pleased with that. He's not.
God's Word says to sing a new song unto the Lord (Psalm 96), so we should not be lazy and re-use the devil'
s music. Let's write new words and create new music!
Starting a teaching with "I would like to begin by saying that I am not the most humble man alive, but I am certainly not arrogant" is usually a good sign there is some arrogance going on.
If one has to try and sell others on the idea that they are not arrogant, it usually means they are.
Another way of saying "I don't agree with some people here so it must be because they are arrogant"
As far as the US we sing gospel, southern gospel and hymns. The hypnotic music played today comes from punk rock its just slowed down. They repeat the same words 50 times and I dont get any thing out of it.
a US hymn from 1906,
Come unto Me
And I will give you rest
Take my yoke upon you
hear Me and be blessed
I am meek and lowly
Come and trust My might
Come, My yoke is easy
and My burdens light.
a modern song
You never stop
You never stop working.
You never stop
You never stop working.
You never stop
You never stop working.
You never stop
You never stop working.
