The Moral Influence of Doubting
Matthew 7:16-20
You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?…


I. Doubt loosens the moral hold of the principle of the Bible upon our personal obedience.

II. The position of antagonism into which doubting throws a man is, in itself, unfavourable to growth in moral virtue.

III. Doubt presents no incentive to holiness like that which Christianity offers.

(Bishop Cheney.)
