Narcissists in the Church

I have met many people who are narcissists who go to church, however they act as though He is subject to them.

They change His word to say what they want it to mean rather than humbly seeking Him to learn His heart and mind. These people are always fighters and arguers who always have an excuse or good reason to defy the principles of God.

They fight bitterly to defend their sin even when it is proven that they are offending God. Narcissists love to pretend they love God only to elevate themselves but never to submit to Him or anyone else. Submission is anathema to the narcissist. They fight and argue to defend the sin they engage in while always pointing their finger at others for not adhering to their legalistic rules that are not in the Bible.

These people have false man made morals and standards that God never commanded, their goal is to appear superior to others.

The goal and aim of the narcissist is to prop up their false sense of superiority.

When a narcissists cannot adhere to the truths of the Bible it is strong evidence that they have a god in their own image according to their own desires.

These people are dedicated to outward rituals to appear religious.

Matthew 23:24-26 "…24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. 25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.…"

1 John 4:20 "20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen."

1 Peter 2:16 "16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves."

Galatians 6:3 "3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves."

Luke 6:46 "46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?"

Mark 7:6 "6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

Yes, sadly there are my hypocrites and narcissists in the church. The reason is quite simple, we are living in the last days of 2 Timothy 3. Men will become worse and worse as time passes, moving toward the rapture of the church.

This is our great hope as born again believers, soon we will be out of here, God's wrath will be on those who are rebellious and at the end of it we will come back with Christ when He will rid the world of the evil upon it.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,
12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness."

Revelation 16:1
Six Bowls of Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior now is the time to ask forgiveness and confess your sinfulness and trust in Christ Who paid the price for your sin. No one can be saved unless they have confessed to be forgiven.

1 John 1:9 "9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
