Boast in your weaknesses not in your strengths
5-9-03

There are many stumbling blocks that the devil has put in this world.  And Christian's fall for them all the time. Usually falling for them is so embarrassing that we don't share our experience with anybody else.  And this is very foolish, because by not sharing with others, we leave the people behind us to fall on the same rocks.  What a responsible Christian should do after he falls on a stumbling block is to warn others.  Have the humility to boast in your weaknesses and not in your strengths.  Scripture is full of examples of people who have learned hard lessons, and by reading these; we are better able to avoid those issues. When a person is too embarrassed to share their lessons with others, they are putting more focus on their own reputation than other's spiritual growth.
