Boasting is almost a habitual habit in our culture, but the scary thing is we often don't see it.  Paul is fully aware that this is the reality because he is the self proclaimed "chief of sinners." To the church in Corinth and the church today...one thing is true, we should only boast in Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
