POINTS:

• Doubt is defined as a “big” feeling of uncertainty.

• Spiritual vertigo is when we lose our balance in our walk in faith because of something we experience.

• Doubt is characterized as “spiritual vertigo”.

• It should be concerning to begin journeys with certainties.

• Like a walking stick for times when our feet slip, the Bible is well-balanced.

• Spiritual vertigo is not about reasoning.

• Spiritual vertigo it is about what you see.

• There are four things to do with doubt: doubt your doubts, go to church, choose the firmest place to put your foot, feel for God’s hand.

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

• There are always honest and dishonest parts of your doubt.

• We get into our doubts through experience with people.

• Experience with the people of God will help get us out of doubts.

• Doubts are never choosing between belief and non-belief.

• Doubts are choosing what to believe.

• In our walk of faith we may not be able to prove God exists definitively, but we can’t prove that He doesn’t.

• Everywhere you step is always an act of faith.
