We Believe About Religion Strongholds. That is a word we don t use everyday. It is unlikely that you ve used it this week. The bible uses the word to describe a complicated pattern of thinking that is antagonistic to the will of God. Strongholds consist of an organized web of lies that keep our minds in a rut, and will eventually rob us of the joy of Christian living.
Religious lies make up the most dangerous class of strongholds in existence.
Disguised as doctrine and theology, religious lies are routinely preached from the pulpit by well-intentioned pastors and teachers who have the liberty to stop by for dinner. Religious lies have survived in some organizations for generations. We have heard these lies for so long, we never even question them. We consider it taboo to question anything that comes through the pulpit, therefore we continue in the same repetitious pattern of failure. Whether in the pulpit or in our homes, all lies damage us emotionally.
