Do not fall into the narcissists game, his/her trap!

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"

The End of all Things is at Hand

1 Peter 4:7-19 "7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Suffering as a Christian
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.
16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18 And
“If the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good."

Using the Enemies Tactics is only to become like them!

I don't know who started it but this idea that we should put up a rainbow flag with the proper colors to combat the homosexual agenda is playing right into the devil's hands.

God never told us to do such a thing so we should ignore their foolishness and just live out our Christian life.

Proverbs 26:4-5
"4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you yourself will be just like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes."

Narcissists love to cause fights and divisions; they not only expect people to fight back, but they want it more than anything. If they can keep Christians distracted with foolish arguments, they can keep them from sharing the gospel.

It is interesting to me that people would waste their time putting up a flag to debate with fools, but never share the gospel with anyone. There is a sort of fighting spirit in those who do the "tit for tat" combat with fools.

When we fight back in the flesh, we are not only becoming like the fool we are, but also making them think they are wise for being able to agitate their enemies.

Proverbs 23:9 "Do not speak to a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words."

2 Timothy 2:23-24 "But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling. And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing."

Proverbs 22:24-25 "Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man, or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare."

The more controversy the wicked man can generate through his foolish antics, the more he can keep people focused on his depraved cause.

Perhaps there is some pride in those who think they must win over their enemy, as though God cannot take care of it.
