Home Essay Series Flattery
The Wicked Art of Flattery is a 15-part KJV Bible study exposing one of the most subtle and destructive sins in Scripture. This series traces flattery through Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Daniel, Ezekiel, and Paul’s ministry, showing how smooth speech becomes a tool of deception, seduction, pride, manipulation, false prophecy, corrupt leadership, and spiritual ruin. From the strange woman’s flattering lips to the talebearer who reveals secrets, from flattering titles to prophetic lies, this study shows that flattery is not harmless praise but counterfeit kindness used to trap the soul. Written from a Bible-believing, rightly divided perspective, this series warns Christians to love truth more than applause, receive faithful rebuke, reject religious manipulation, and stand on the words of God. A powerful study for discernment, preaching, personal examination, ministry purity, and guarding the heart against smooth-tongued deception in the last days.
