Pride?
Question: In the Bible pride is never used in the positive sense.
And personally I think pride is a massive stumbling block in so many
situations and leads to many types of sin. My question is can it also be a good thing as in 'taking pride in ones work'? For example. Or is that some kind of self-centredness?

I think pride in what one does is misplaced. This is as a result of what I consider to be excellence. I believe that true excellence is loving God. If we are demonstrating our love for God throught the work we do, that is excellence, but the work is not worthy of our boasting, or pride. Christ crucified is our boast, and God's love for us is our pride. Both fill one with humility and give glory where it is due, not in us, but in God. Joy and satisfaction in one's work is different than pride. (c:
there's my 2 cents.
