NARCISSISM
Have you ever known anyone who was all about themselves? I’ve known a couple of people in my life who fit this category. In the business world they are arrogant and take advantage of everyone else to make their way to the top. In the blue collar world they work people against people so they look good. These people are known as Narcissists. They earnestly believe the whole world revolves around them.
In the church world Narcissism gets real ugly. These people sometimes cause problems so they can look like the heroes fixing the problem they created. And sometimes they go from one innocent by-stander to the next with bad things to say about those in authority because they want that authority. They exploit believers to sow division in the Body of Christ.
They want titles and position but don’t want responsibility. They boast about their achievements and experiences to make themselves look bigger and better than they actually are. Beware of Narcissists for they are always about themselves and never about Christ. Spiritual maturity requires that we die to ourselves and put off the old man.
What experience do you have with Narcissists?
