Lust of the flesh in the Bible - a Christian perspective
We need to remember that the lust of the flesh and the eyes are things of this world, not things of God. Our sinful cravings are not from God.

Boasting in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Christians are saved by God's grace--and as such, they have no reason to boast about anything they've done. They haven't kept the law themselves, and so can't boast about their behavior.

Romans 3:27-31 - Into Thy Word Ministries
Refuse to consider boasting! Just as Paul rebuked the Galatian church for mixing up grace and law (Galatians 3:1-3), he goes after the Romans for the same.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Staying Close to the Cross - #5239
Let the price that Jesus paid for you define your priorities. Live for the One who loves you the most, who gave His life for you. Don't let anyone or anything push Him to the edge. Let the cross inspire your humility, no matter how successful, how applauded and how appreciated you may be. Don't ever forget you're nothing except for that cross. Let the cross help you say no to sin. Jesus died for that sin!
