"Saying" and "Feeling" Trumps Wisdom in Our Day

A malignant narcissist has to tell us that he doesn't lie so that we will believe his words. If he were not a liar he would not be saying "I don't lie", he would just speak the truth all the time.
When a malignant narcissist parades himself as the best at something it usually means they are not the best, they must use words to convince people because the actions are missing.
When a malignant narcissist boast and brags continually about themselves its because they know they are not what they claim but they count on people believing their words without watching their actions.
These MN are bullies, they mock, demean and intimidate others to appear superior. Having grown up with this in my early years I know when it is happening, it is obvious to me but sadly most people who care only about hearing words they like to hear will not see the blatant clues.
2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts."
When we live in a culture that wants to believe something, desiring deeply to save their little lives they will rely heavily and mostly on words that flatter rather than substance that proves.
We live in a superficial culture now that believes someone when they "say" they are a Christian even when there is no evidence of it in their lives.
1 John 4:1 "1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world. "
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
We live in a world that places more confidence in words and feelings than anything else. This is why they are easily deceived when someone comes along and says the things they like to hear or makes them feel the way they like to feel.
This is why too that motivational speakers in churches are so popular. The mega-churches are filled with unbelievers who have been told they are saved even if nothing in their life has been transformed into Christlikeness.
Since the preachers in these apostate churches do not want to hurt the feelings of the attendees because they might leave and take their money with them, these preachers massage the egos of the pew people to maintain their own salaries.
John 10:12
"12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock."
The wolves are in the pulpits today, they are in the pews as well. They are everywhere all the time with only a remnant who have discernment because they are dedicated to Christ above all their own desires and above popularity with the world.
Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
If you will follow hard after Christ you will see the deceptions for what they are and refuse to move in lock step with them. We see what happens when someone is pressured by others to think a particular way, they are intimidated to joining the crowd or risk being rejected and mocked.
Brothers and Sisters, stop allowing the crowd to make up your minds for you and begin allowing Christ in you to bring sense to everything you encounter.
Hallelujah!!!!! We can walk independently of the crowd and with Christ.
