Job's Friends & the Importance of Humility

T.M. Moore, at Breakpoint, has a valuable lesson on spiritual arrogance based on wisdom learned from the book of Job.

The book of Job is probably the most difficult book of the Bible for me to read, except for the book of lists, 1 Chronicles. T.M. Moore is right on this point: breaking out the conversations of Job's friends, they are actually on theologically solid ground. So why are they wrong? They don't present a complete and total revelation of God, and the arguments they make are done to justify an erroneous conclusion, and made with no compassion to their audience.
