An egotistical young salesman was composing a letter to the president of the firm he felt he so ably represented…

An ant climbed on an elephant’s back and asked for a ride over a bridge…

“Few people need voice lessons to sing their own praises.”

Purpose: to examine the Biblical right and wrong about boasting

Conclusion and Summary: The usual items in which men boast are temporary and can flit away in a moment’s notice – wealth, prestige, wisdom of the world… Because of this may we say with Paul (Galatians 6:14) “But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.”
