Biblical boasting is always in the Lord. It is really boasting about the Lord and what He does – not so much on what we have done! We read, especially in Charismatic circles and ministries, about what people have done. This really is not good because it is not pleasing to the Lord. Let us always remember that Biblical boasting is about what He has done.
