Amen.

Hey, what's going on, Alex here, sitting on the side of the road, about to join my family

at the beach, but I just wanted to talk to you about this idea of Narcagesis, because I've

seen it a lot in false teaching in churches today.

Narciseesis is a term that I heard from a testimony of someone who left one of the biggest mega churches here in America.

And exegesis, which is a different word, is the idea of taking the original meaning from the text and applying its message to our life today.

That's the way that I try to preach.

And I'm going to give you some other preachers who preach that way at the end of this video.

And Narciseesis is taking narcissism and mixing it in with another term called isogesis.

Issaegesis is putting your meaning and interpretation into the text, not getting the meaning out of the text,

but putting yours in.

And so when you do that mixed with this narcissism that's mixed its way into the church,

you get something called Narciseesis.

And I'll give you an example of that.

But first, I want to read to you Matthew 14, 34 through 36.

And this talks about why Narciseesis even happens in the church today.

They landed at Gannacrit. The news of their arrival spread quickly throughout the city,

and soon people were rushing

around telling everyone to bring their sick to be healed.

The sick begged him to let them touch even the tassel of his robe and all who did were

healed.

I'm going to dive into this passage more into the next in the next episode of Amen podcast called Healing.
