#PrideComesBeforeTheFall Ten Signs That You May Be Following Or Leading As A Megalomaniac: 1. A were better than everyone else mentality. 2. A critical assessment of historic churches in the community as a part of their teaching, preaching, and branding. 3. No seminary education as a principle. In essence, an unwillingness to be taught. 4. A message built on people renouncing their families, churches of childhood, fraternities, sororities, etc. The use of hyper demonization is one of the most useful tools of an abuser and megalomaniac. 5. An anti denominational stance as a conviction. Which is primarily an unwillingness to be legitimately held accountable for ones actions. 6. A need to compare their church size, worship style, message etc. to other churches. This should be self-explanatory. 7. The need for quick success. 8. The unwillingness to accept feedback from senior pastors in their region. 9. A conviction that they have new revelation that makes their followers somehow more special or advantaged. 10. A prideful/arrogant spirit. God resists the proud. P.S. But he teaches ‘the word of God is not an excuse for rudeness, arrogance, and ego. Bonus via Pastor Ian Wolfe *If one is preaching a life that Christ himself did not preach or even grant to His own disciples (namely Peter or James, both afflicted and martyred)–a life lived under the cross– then likely you are following a megalomaniac.
