Strongholds

Certain communities within God's Church regularly take a moment to point out a "stronghold" that is keeping our nation from knowing the truth about who God is.

This is, to me, the greatest of all ironies.

Maybe before God's Church starts calling out freemasons and mormons and witches and buddhists and all the other groups she doesn't like, she needs to look at the way she deceives her own people.  She needs to look at the ways she keeps people in bondage, the way she manipulates, the way she withholds truth, tempers truth, waters down truth, the way she lies.  She needs to examine her motives and resolve to banish the impure ones.  She needs to stop pondering her next PR strategy and start pondering her savior.  She needs to stop promoting herself by making such a production of any good work she does.  She needs to stop being her own idol.

Maybe she needs to let the temples she's built be torn down and see how God builds them back.
