Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Narcissists are Gossips and Think Others are Like Them
Narcissists are gossips so they think if anyone knows anything about them others will gossip about them. They are angry on the inside and believe others are angry too.
They evaluate everything they think and do based on their own character but assign it to others when often it is not true that others are not doing what the narcissist thinks they are doing.
They assume others are the same as they are and when they discover someone is not like them they hate that person who dares to be different.
Narcissists are rude so often so they assign a bad motive to others who have good actions, because if the narcissist were doing that good deed they would be manipulating.
Control is everything to the narcissist. Their motives are always based on manipulating others so they believe others are doing the same thing.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."
Secret keepers are full of shame over their own anger but will not admit it. They live in fear that someone will discover the real them.
The only remedy for this problem is repentance to be cleansed by Christ. They will never change until they reach the bottom and see their need for cleansing in Christ.
Choose the Wisdom of Christ over the Wisdom of God
It is astounding how many people are caught up in every kind of conspiracy theory that they see but have no concern for what God said was going to happen very soon in the world.
Why do people believe the media lies and tremble with fear but have no interest in what God said?
Man often believes man and will not believe God. Perhaps pride has something to do with it, they enjoy the sensationalism man has to offer and demean what God said.
Jeremiah 17:5
"Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
Listening to men for our wisdom is rooted in the same pride that motivated Eve to believe the devil when he enticed her to believe him instead of God. He caused Eve to question God as though God was lying to her. He brought doubt and confusion and worst of all distrust in God.
When someone shares a lie claiming it is from God we are duty-bound to expose it and reject it openly so that others will not be deceived as Eve was, which led to the curse that plagued mankind.
We must always tell the truth of God's Word no matter the consequences, no matter the rejection or anger toward us.
2 Timothy 3:13-17
"While evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
If the only way to follow God fully is to be alone with Christ, choose Him over people.
