POINTS:

• Faithfulness = an unfailing loyalty repeatedly demonstrated.

• Doubt = a feeling of uncertainty.

• Spiritual vertigo = when you are walking in faith, and you experience something that causes you to lose your balance.

• Doubt is “spiritual vertigo”.

• A religious mindset cannot help you steady your steps.

• Faithfulness is making a decision to hold on to who God says He is despite appearances.

• 4 teachings on what to do with our doubts:

1. Doubt your doubts.

2. Go to church.

3. Choose the firmest place to put your foot.

4. Feel for God’s hand.

• We must distill out of our doubts our own dishonesty.

• We got into our doubts through experiences with people, and experiences with the people of God will help us get out of them.

• We are never choosing between belief and non-belief when we have doubts. Instead, we are choosing what to believe.
