Christian narcissists

SOME SIGNS OF A CHRISTIAN NARCISSIST 1. They appear holy but lack humility. They focus on looking righteous while resisting correction and accountability. 2. They weaponize forgiveness. They pressure others to forgive quickly while refusing to acknowledge or change their own harmful behavior. 3. They believe they are spiritually superior. They act as though they are closer to God than everyone else. 4. They use Scripture to control people. Bible verses become tools for manipulation instead of love, wisdom, and truth. 5. They demand unquestioning submission. Any disagreement is labeled as rebellion, disrespect, or a lack of faith. 6. They lack genuine compassion. They may speak about love and grace but show little empathy when others are hurting. 7. They seek admiration through ministry. Serving God becomes a way to gain praise, influence, or status rather than to glorify God. 8. They refuse to take responsibility. Mistakes are blamed on others, spiritual attacks, or misunderstandings instead of being honestly confessed. 9. They maintain a polished public image. People at church see kindness and generosity, while family members experience control, intimidation, or emotional abuse. 10. They use God to justify abusive behavior. They claim divine authority to silence, shame, or dominate others rather than reflecting Christ's character. A person can be deeply involved in church and still display narcissistic traits. Faith should never be used to excuse manipulation or abuse. Healthy Christian leadership reflects humility, accountability, compassion, and genuine love SIGNS OF A malignant NARCISSIST: 1.

Eldership materials

EPISCOPOS: THE SHEPHERDING ELDER  1 Timothy 3: MULTIPLYING MINISTRY 1 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer , he desires a noble task.2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. Titus 1:5 This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders  in every town as I directed you---6 if anyone...

Conversion of Varani in Fiji

Sam Tamata wrote Hunt was a remarkable man. He was formerly a plough-boy in Lincolnshire. He had not trained as a linguist (unlike Aberdonian David Cargill), yet he quickly learned the Bauan dialect (which later became the standard for written Fijian). By the time of his early death, aged 36 years in 1848, he had translated the whole New Testament into Fijian and had begun translating the Old Testament. In 1845 an important breakthrough occurred. A formerly bloodthirsty and treacherous man named Varani became a Christian. He was nephew of the high chief of Viwa and comrade-in-arms of the feared Cakobau. It happened like this. Hunt was reading aloud one day the account of the crucifixion of Jesus from the newly translated Gospel of Matthew. He noted that Varani was visibly stirred. He then taught Varani to read the Bible for himself. Soon Varani began to follow Hunt's example of going into the bush to pray alone. Important convert Varani told his friend Cakobau that he was going to ...

Ryle

These two parables are meant to teach us, that   men really convinced of the importance of salvation, will give up everything to win Christ, and eternal life. What was the conduct of the two men our Lord describes? The one was persuaded that there was a "treasure hidden in the field," which would amply repay him, if he bought the field, however great the price that he might give. The other was persuaded that the "pearl" he had found was so immensely valuable, that it would compensate him to purchase it at any cost. Both were convinced that  they had found a thing of great value.  Both were satisfied that  it was worth a great present sacrifice to make this thing their own. Others might wonder at them. Others might think them foolish for paying such a sum of money for the field and pearl. But they knew what they were about. They were sure that they were making a good bargain. Behold in this single picture,  the conduct of a true Christian explained!  He is w...
