Christians can be prideful and boastful.

  PRIDE IS NOT A SIN!

Seeking Guidance from Christian leaders: – While there is no call for being prideful about ourselves, there is a desperate need for us to take pride in our work. As C. S. Lewis pointed out, God not only wants us to do good works, he wants us to do good work.  Unfortunately, in most churches we have confused sinful pride about ourselves with godly pride in the work we are called to do. Why do so many Christians suffer through church programs that are sincerely awful? Because so many churches fear that striving for excellence would lead us into pride. They avoid that temptation by settling for mediocrity.

PRIDE IS NOT ALWAYS SINFUL! –  It is the belief of many Christian leaders that the use of words such as “Pride” or “Proud” is Holy and is Not Sinful as long as we ultimately acknowledge  God in our boasting, what He has accomplished in us and through us.   – 1 Corinthians 1:31 – Galatians 6:14
