Ask him to keep you from pride, which 76 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: comes before the fall. Remember you must control yourselves and 77 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: be careful. The devil is your enemy, and he will 78 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: tear down any one he can. Nothing in this world 79 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: will help you serve God.
