I believe it may have been the reformed theologian R.C. Sproul who coined the term “narcigesis.” The term is defined this way:

“Narcigesis is combining the words narcissism and eisegesis.” Narcissism is “excessive interest in or admiration of oneself,” and eisegesis is “interpretation of a text by reading into it one's own ideas.” So, narcigesis is “the explanation of the Bible in a way that shows excessive interest in oneself and prioritizes one's own ideas.”

In other words, the “narcigetic” is one who interprets the Bible according to his or her own liking. Of course, this becomes problematic and dangerous because of the distortions and untruths put upon God's word.
I was reading this morning in Matthew 22:29 where Jesus rebuked some “narcigetes” of His day: “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.”
Could that same rebuke be needed today...by us?

I think the term “narcigesis” is an apt description of how many Christians today approach their understanding of the Bible. Rather than paying attention to what the Bible is actually saying, they “cherry-pick” passages that they think reinforces what THEY think God should say, be, or do. God tells us: Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15). “Narcigetics” be dammed. We never want to get into the position where “I am devoted to things and even to service and my own convictions. God may say whatever He wants, but I just don't hear Him.” My prayer for you and me this day is this: Lord, may we never get ourselves into a position where we are “in error because we do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Speak to us Lord through Your word and give us discernment to see where we are becoming “narcigetes” rather than humble and diligent students of your word. This is especially important for those of us who have been given the responsibility of preaching and teaching the Bible...but it's essentially true for all of us. Open the eyes of our hearts, souls, and minds to Your Word. Amen.

Walk with the King today and be a blessing.
