Self-Deception & the Martyr Complex
One of the many things my pastors and teachers in Moscow taught me, following the late Rev Dr Greg Bahnsen, is that self-deception is powerful and dangerous. And it seems plain to me that when one begins to view every criticism or attack as a mark of being slandered for Christ's sake, one should beware of self-deception. The deceiving mind quickly says to itself, "I'm not being criticized for any mistakes or wrongdoing on my part; I'm being persecuted like Jesus was, and I count it all joy."
