A special bonus episode. Don't worry, I'll have another one on Monday! Have you ever had a passage of Scripture quoted at you, or about someone else, in which the one doing the quoting assumed they were the hero and the "others" were the villains? It happens more than you might think, especially in movements and churches where there is a high level of legalism and control. None of us are immune from this temptation. "Narcigesis" (The narcissistic view of Scripture) is a made-up word that focuses on our tendency to read ourselves as the hero of every passage of scripture, especially where doctrine and methods are concerned. Many have been hurt by it. Families have been torn apart by it. Friendships have been destroyed because of it. I want to encourage us not to let it happen in our own lives.
