DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Boasting
Romans 2:23-24
"You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? For 'the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,' as it is written."
How often the name of Christ is dishonored by His followers and dragged through the mud by pagans because Christians fail to live up to God's standard. Instead of bragging about my righteousness – "I don't drink, smoke, cuss, or commit adultery" – it is better to humbly admit, "I'm just a sinner saved by grace."
TODAY'S THOUGHT: It is better to boast in God's grace than to brag about my goodness.
Have a humble day. Love you.
