Recognizing pride and arrogance in our own speech patterns!

Pastors-this is primarily, but not exclusively, for you:

When you share your position on non-essentials, how to do state your position?  Do you preface your statements with:

"I believe..."
"I am convinced..."
"My conviction in this area is..."

or do you state your opinion as if it was biblical truth.

"...There are some weeds that will grow anywhere; and one of them is Pride. Pride will grow on a rock as well as in a garden. Pride will grow in the heart of a shoe-black as well as in the heart of an alderman. Pride will grow in the heart of a servant girl and equally as well in the heart of her mistress. And pride will grow in the pulpit. It is a weed that is dreadfully rampant. It needs cutting down every week, or else we should stand up to our knees in it. This pulpit is a shocking bad soil for pride!"      Spurgeon

Listen to the speech patterns of well respected men in the current Christian community and listen carefully.  When they are interviewed and asked their opinion on a non-essential position, do they answer with the above prefaces?    Better yet--listen to yourself.  Do you express your personal convictions on non-essentials, authoritatively or with humility?
