Truth comes in humility and meekness.  The world loves those who puff themselves up.  As a result, some have cast the truth aside.  Many of the learned have become prideful.  Though we know so very little, it is easy to imagine that we are filled with all knowledge—especially if we are highly educated.  This problem is further complicated when money, power, pride, and prestige come into play.  Suppose a man of God has a highly paid and lifted up office in some religious organization.  How difficult it is to realize that that office is not according to the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit.  All of this can lead to the Laodicean attitude.
