The devil is preparing the world through the media for a false Jesus that people will follow because they have little knowledge of the Bible and lean on their feelings more than the truth.
When the entire culture will fight to defend something because of the way it makes them feel we know we have lost the culture.
Those who believe the characteristics of narcissism are rare or only for extreme cases do not understand that the entire culture is plagued with this demonic character. Yes, it is a spectrum, some are worse than others, however when people expect to be bludgeoned for their speech merely for disagreeing we know this is a culture of narcissism.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
Remember we are in danger of giving up the truth if we are worried about offending someone or losing a friend. Do we love Jesus Christ more than anything or anyone else? We begin to waffle when we walk on eggshells to please a dying world on its way to hell.
Isaiah 30:10
"They say to the seers, "Stop seeing visions!" and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions."
2 Timothy 1:13
"Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus."
Jude 1:18
"when they said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires."
1 Timothy 4:1-3
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; …"
1 Corinthians 2:1,4
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God…
Do not worry whether or not you think you speak or write well, just know the Word of God and speak what you know through the power of the Holy Spirit, this is all that is required to share the Word of God with the unsaved or teach believers greater wisdom.
Matthew 10:19-20 "19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say. 20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.…"
