Shane Idleman emphasizes the destructive nature of pride in marriage, explaining that God resists the proud but shows grace to the humble. He highlights how pride can lead to a hard heart, bitterness, and ultimately, divorce, while humility fosters healing and unity in relationships. Idleman encourages couples to recognize and repent of prideful attitudes, as humility is essential for receiving God's favor and grace in their marriages. He stresses the importance of being transparent and honest about struggles, as this openness allows God's grace to permeate their lives and relationships. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to humility as the greatest gift to one's spouse and children.

G. Campbell Morgan delivers a powerful sermon on the Book of Obadiah, emphasizing the themes of pride, violence, and retribution as represented by Edom (Esau) in contrast to Jacob (Israel). He highlights the essential evil of pride that leads to godlessness and self-deification, manifesting in violence against Jacob and ultimately resulting in divine retribution. Morgan asserts that despite the seeming insignificance of Obadiah, it reveals profound truths about the spiritual conflict between the flesh and the spirit, culminating in the declaration that 'the kingdom shall be the Lord's.' He encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, questioning whether they align more with the profane nature of Esau or the spiritual aspirations of Jacob, and offers hope that even the profane can be redeemed.
