When our doctrine is questioned or challenged it threatens our deepest need for spiritual security, causing us to lash out.In the absence of a deep, personal relationship with God we tend to get our security from our doctrine, i.e. being “right.” When our doctrine is questioned or challenged it threatens our deepest need for spiritual security, causing us to lash out. Being secure in our relationship with God is no different than being secure in the relationship with our spouse. Having a marriage license is not what makes you secure; having a loving, trusting relationship is what does it!
