Narcissist’s Downfall

1. They overestimate their control, believing they can outsmart everyone, but patterns of deceit and inconsistency slowly expose them over time. 2. They burn bridges through manipulation and disrespect, not realizing that the very people they discard or hurt are the same ones they will eventually need. 3. They refuse accountability, which stops growth completely, causing them to repeat the same destructive behaviors until their life becomes a cycle of chaos. 4. They chase validation instead of building substance, creating a fragile identity that eventually collapses when admiration fades or people stop feeding their ego. 5. They destroy genuine relationships, choosing control over connection, and end up surrounded by people who either fear them, use them, or eventually leave. 6. They underestimate people they hurt, assuming silence means weakness, not realizing those same people are healing, growing, and moving on without them. 7. They create false realities, avoiding...

Mount Disappointment

Mount Disappointment  is  an 800-metre peak in the  Mount Disappointment State Forest  in Victoria, Australia, located about 60 kilometres north of Melbourne . December 1824, explorers  Hamilton Hume  and  William Hovell climbed the range during their overland expedition from New South Wales to Port Phillip Bay.  They were the first white men to cross what is now Victoria, and the first white men in Australia to see the snow-capped peaks of the Australian Alps. The expedition originated in a whimsical proposal by Sir Thomas Brisbane, then Governor of New South Wales. The Port Phillip district then, and for many years after, part of New South Wales, was unknown territory. In order to discover the character of the country, the Governor proposed that a party of convicts should be taken by water to the southern coast, and turned loose, to find their way overland to Sydney. If they succeeded, they were to obtain free par...

He Restoreth my soul

The Lord Restores Our Souls From Foolishness Luke 15:11-24 CSB [11] He also said: "A man had two sons. [12] The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate I have coming to me.' So he distributed the assets to them. [13] Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his estate in foolish living. [14] After he had spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he had nothing. [15] Then he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. [16] He longed to eat his fill from the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one would give him anything. [17] When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have more than enough food, and here I am dying of hunger! [18] I'll get up, go to my father, and say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. [1...

Family tragedies

10 Reasons Narcissists Will Throw Away Their Families Without Looking Back 1. Their needs always come first. A narcissist often sees relationships through the lens of personal benefit. When family members stop serving their emotional needs—such as admiration, control, or validation—they may view the relationship as no longer useful. Loyalty and shared history often matter less than their immediate sense of self-importance. 2. They struggle with genuine emotional attachment. Healthy family relationships require empathy, patience, and sacrifice. Narcissists often struggle to sustain those qualities over time. Without deep emotional connection, walking away from family can feel easier for them than it does for people who value strong bonds. 3. They cannot tolerate criticism or accountability. If family members begin confronting their behavior or setting boundaries, narcissists may feel deeply threatened. Instead of reflecting on their actions, they may cut people off completely to p...

H B Charles on Ecclesiastes

Some parents talked to a music teacher about giving their son piano lessons. When they asked how much the piano lessons would cost, they were taken aback by the music teacher's answer. There was a rate for children receiving piano lessons for the first time. It would cost double if the child had previously received piano lessons. Assuming previous lessons were an advantage, the parents asked why they cost more. The music teacher explained that it cost more because it required him to unlearn the learned before he could learn the unlearned.   Solomon has an all-important lesson to teach us in Ecclesiastes. He holds this critical life-lesson until the end of the book. Ecclesiastes  12:13-14  concludes: “The end of the matter, all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”   To properly u...

Narcissists expose themselves

If you listen closely, many narcissists reveal themselves before their actions fully catch up. They expose their mindset through accusations, jokes, stories, double standards, and the way they make you feel after simple conversations. 1. THEY ACCUSE YOU OF THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR If they keep accusing you of lying, cheating, hiding things, being selfish, or manipulating them, pay attention. Sometimes the accusation is not about you. It is a confession wearing a mask. 2. THEY HIDE CRUELTY INSIDE “JOKES” They insult you, embarrass you, mock your pain, then quickly say: “I was only joking.” “You take everything too seriously.” “You are too sensitive.” That is not humor. That is disrespect testing how much you will tolerate. 3. THEY TELL STORIES THAT REVEAL THEIR CHARACTER They may talk badly about an ex, a friend, a coworker, or a family member. But if you listen deeper, you may hear their own mindset inside the story. Sometimes they are not exposing...

Losing Your Soul.

Devotion. When God made the human soul, He made it in His own image; therefore, human souls are endless, timeless, dateless, and measureless. The soul is the most valuable part of each of us and, so often, the first thing we sacrifice for the things of this world. Mark 8:35-36 says, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” It would be a terrible loss because your soul: It is the eternal part of you Our souls are priceless treasures of infinite worth; each one was created by God. Every soul has the potential to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ. Our souls are also valuable because of their durability; they last for all eternity. It is the eternal part of you. Your soul will be in existence somewhere when the sun, moon, and stars have grown cold—either in Heaven or in Hell. You could never ce...

Your soul

Brett Lee-Price Apologetics

We are living through a rather unique moment in the history of Western Christianity, whereby the faith that has long undergirded our culture and grounded such fundamental assumptions about reality, humanity, and morality is increasingly being questioned and challenged by positions that are profoundly different. Questions surrounding identity, sexuality, marriage, the human body, political authority, and even what it truly means to be human are no longer merely peripheral controversies. They are, at their foundation, theological questions, concerning the nature of creation, our understanding of humanity, and, ultimately, the God who has created us. Charles Taylor, in his monumental  A Secular Age , argues that secularisation is not simply the decline of religious belief but a transformation in the very conditions under which belief takes place. Christianity is no longer the assumed framework through which Western society understands itself. 1  Indeed, as Carl Trueman has explo...
