The Narcissist Hates Knowledge and Wisdom

The apostate church only loves knowledge to impress others, not for the purpose of personal growth and change. Their goal is to know more than others, the knowledge doesn't have to actually flesh itself out in their lives, pretending is the goal. The distorted reality that narcs live in, prevents them from seeing their true self. They are working hard everyday to "appear" to be something, as long as they can appear to be something they are satisfied, they don't have to "be" anything.

Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."

There can be no wisdom when there is only knowledge without a desire to obey what we know. Often the knowledge is twisted to fit the culture, the life style and to be accepted by others. There can be no love for one another if there is no love and respect for God's Word. Love always fleshes out, it is not love to say it, or write it, "love" is an action word. When we love, it will be evident through attitudes and action.

Proverbs 12:1 "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid."

1 Corinthians 8:1 "Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies."

We know the knowledge in many is for show because when they are challenged to dig deeper or that they may be wrong, they become enraged, refusing to listen while negating the challenger.

I probably would not be able to count the number of times I heard someone say "I am a Bible believing Christian" or "we are a Bible believing church", only to realize at closer inspection, there is very little about the Bible that these people obey. There really is no determination or love for God's Word, only that they love "appearing" that they do. And, there are extra rules and traditions tacked onto the lifestyle to manipulate and control others. Control is not love, instruction and correction is love. God never forces through meanness, but through instruction and circumstances He compels us to learn.

We live in a church culture that says one thing and does another. Divorce and remarriage has been accepted almost completely among church goers who say they believe the Bible. Many of these professing believers negate all the teachings of hospitality, empathy, love of the brethren and much more.

Our culture has sadly bought into the idea that saying something is enough, there doesn't have to be any action or evidence of what we say, only that we say it. While patting one another on the back for all they know, there is a conspicuous lack of action to back up the words.

Anyone who dares to confront or challenge these apostates, are maligned, demeaned, dismissed and ignored as non-entities unworthy of notice or love.

Pray Before Giving

May I suggest that anyone in another country who continues to argue and beg after being told plainly that we cannot give to their cause, is being rude and disrespectful.

Manipulation to extract funds from us is not a Christian tactic. Christians don't have "tactics", we have honesty and straight talk.

Begging is not Biblical. If we need something we are to pray to God, asking Him, telling no one else and accepting His answer, which will be either "yes", "no" or "wait."

When someone tells me their need, then I will choose to respond or not, if they beg, that is childish, disrespectful and most of all, lacking faith that God can do it without us.

It is Christ Who leads me to give to the things He chooses for me. If I respond to begging merely to get someone off my back or out of guilt then I am not hearing God, I am responding in the flesh.

When God tells me to be a part of a ministry through the use of our money then He will clearly show me and I will have been seeking Him about where to give, before He even presents it to me.

God places it in our hearts to give, giving all by itself is not necessarily good, if it is done without the direction of Christ in us.

There are many good things to give to, but we have no idea God's purposes in withholding to a particular organization, perhaps he wants them to stop begging and start praying, then we come along, give in to human manipulation and remove their important lesson by succuming to human pressure.

Let's seek God for where our money goes, let's get a back bone and be willing to say "God never told me to give to that." 

Without Correction Evil Increases

Ecc. 8:11 "Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil."

We live in a culture in which correction and rebuke are the new evil. Because correction and rebuke are not tolerated, there is chaos and wickedness abounding.

Stop Pretending Fix the Thing

Exactly!!!! I meet many people who would rather pretend to see the world the way they would rather see it, than admit truth and do what is necessary to mend things. The hard work and humiliation of mending produces so much more than a momentary uncomfortableness. In a fast food culture, people seek easy rather than best.

Devil Comes as an Angel of Light

The 2 Timothy 3 crowd can ruin relationships! I have lost several to narcs who lie and are very charming on the surface, but devious and mean covertly.

No one believes what they do to others unless it is done personally to them. If we are to describe the tactics we sound petty, but when you add them all up they become mountainous, even overwhelming if we don't know what we are dealing with.

Satan is like that, he comes as an angel of light, pretending to be wonderful and perfect, only to covertly destroy whatever he can any way he can.

If the devil cannot suck us in, through lies and deception, he will come against us by using our friends and family. Never fear, though, he did this to the apostles and Christ Himself.

The Pharisees accused Christ of doing miracles by the power of the devil, when they were controlled by the devil themselves. The narcissist will mock at your good deeds acting as though you did something wrong, to negate goodness.

When we encounter it we are free to move on to more healthy relationships based on mutual love, understanding and Christ dwelling in us.

Those who love the Lord do not use tactics of the devil, this is one of our clues of healthy relationships. Those who possess God's love, care deeply about the welfare of one another, competition with one another isn't even a thought in their minds.

Empathy is a continual characteristic of the born again believer, they care more about honoring God than anything else. His principles mean a great deal to the one who follows Christ. They actually feel the pain of another human being. They also have joy at someone else's blessing.

If there is any test as to a friendship, it might be to watch how someone responds automatically to the needs of others. When they encounter someone in need on the street do they pass them by or do they jump in to help without even thinking about it?

When the Holy Spirit is working in us we don't have to ponder what is needed, nor are we concerned about impressing anyone, it will be an automatic response without having to think what to do and it won't matter if anyone sees it or praises us.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away."

Romans 8:37-39 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

1 John 3:1 "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him."

Galatians 5:13 "For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."

Ephesians 4:2 "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,"

1 Peter 1:22 "Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,"

1 John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God."

The Accuser of the Brethren

Let me remind you that narcissists always accuse their targets of things the narcissist is doing but the target is not. It is the favorite ploy of the devil. The devil is right now accusing the brethren but Christ isn't buying into it and we should not either.

Revelation 12:10 "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night."

Why America is Falling

Wow, this explains a lot about why America is going down the tubes!!!!!! And, why families are falling apart! 


This is excellent in terms of exposing the foundational problem in our country and our families in America. Teaching "self esteem" in schools has produced a monstrous sense of superiority without evidence of that superiority.
