Narcissists In The Last Days | Institute of Love

A friend of mine gave me some great feedback the other day on the subject of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder when he said that narcissism, which is the same as people who only love themselves (2. Timothy 3:2), is one of the signs of these last difficult days we are living in. We see it especially among this young generation who thinks they are entitled to anything that pleases or pleasures them, and so brazenly, without any sense of shame. They are constantly complaining about being treated unfairly and not having what they so-called righteously deserve. These people are like the Bible says, grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want. (See Jude 1:16) It interesting to see how a narcissistic person always uses defense mechanisms to idealize self so that he doesn't have to face his own mistakes. Narcissists are very prideful people and even though they might call themselves Christians, they don't really think they need a savior or forgiveness for anything. They are blinded by pride that tells them they are “good” people and have a “good” heart. That is why they will never take responsibility or be accountable for any sin they commit! Lord have mercy! “Pride goes before destruction,
 And a haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18 NKJV
