There just ain't no way they are the same person. I read his blog and he has some good stuff there. I even left him a comment on one of his posts telling him so. I just don't believe that a person of God could be filled with all that. I don’t believe that the Chris P who spoke in comment 1 is the Chris P who writes the blog you referenced elsewhere Rick.

Guess we will have to look for someone else to learn humility from.

The humble one is silent about himself

Then it is too bad that that Jesus guy wasn’t silent about Himself.

He says it is a 'reflected glory.' Which means it isn't ours to begin with; never was. Right, Brendt, I don’t think Eldredge is talking about us going around and tooting our own horn.

Sounds very similar to what Eldredge is talking about here. If we deny the <em>reflected</em> glory that God has placed in us, then we are denying the very glory of God.

The humble one is silent about himself; unlike the pious blether this blog spews. The only way you can say less, is to keep talking/writing.
