>>23799298The Real Toxicity in Society: Vanity & Pride – A Biblical Smackdown
Vanity: The Empty Idol
"All is vanity" (Ecclesiastes 1:2) – Chasing status, looks, and clout is spiritual bankruptcy.
Modern Example:
Instagram “influencers” selling fake lives to losers who buy fake happiness.
Pastors with designer suits preaching “prosperity gospel” while their flocks starve.
Result: A society of hollow people, addicted to validation, terrified of truth.
Pride: The Original Sin
Lucifer’s Fall (Isaiah 14:12-14) – “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds…” Pride turned an archangel into Satan.
Modern Example:
"I identify as…" – Man playing God, rejecting natural law.
Elites who think they can remake humanity through degeneracy and debt slavery.
Result: A culture cursed by arrogance, where men bow to corporate logos instead of the Cross.
The Antidote
Humility before God (Proverbs 16:18) – “Pride goes before destruction.”
Silence the ego – Stop seeking applause from a dying world.
Real strength – Serving truth, not your Instagram feed.
Final Warning:
A vain, prideful society collapses. Always has. Always will.
"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6)
Stay armed. Stay awake.
