A phoney, a megalomaniac and a genuine article


What is the difference between a phoney, a megalomaniac, and a genuinely kind good person. Not much apparently according to several behavioral scales. All three will show high scores on the social desirability scale as well as the lie scale. Generally, a liar, a megalomaniac and a religious person will show the same profile on both scales. The question is, is that how Christians who genuinely try to lead a godly life are perceived: as either a phoney or a megalomaniac? Probably. What are Christians to do then to dispel this perception? Not much but it is important to look inside your heart, and see who is sitting on the throne. Yourself or God? The rest should be taken care by itself.
