I love to listen to Pastor Bob Coy’s Acitve Word podcasts when I travel, and recently he had the following to say about broken vs. unbroken people that he referenced from a Moody’s Magazine article.
It seemed worthy of posting here so I can reference it in the future.
| Prideful and Unbroken Person | Humble and Broken Person |
| focuses on the failures of others | overwhelmed with a sense of their own spiritual need |
| maintains control (has to be their way) | surrenders control and looks for the best way |
| feels confident in how much they know | humbled by how much they have to learn |
| rebelious towards others in authority | very submissive to authority |
| defensive when criticized | receives criticizm with a hungry and open heart |
| works to maintain image, protect reputation | dies to his own reputation |
| has a hard time saying “i am wrong” | quick to admit failure and seek forgiveness |
| waits for others to come and ask for forgiveness | takes initiative to be reconciled |
| believes the “ministry is priviledged to have me” | believes “i don’t deserve to serve in this ministry” |
