Text: Genesis 3 & Various.
Do I have a tendency to doubt the things of God, or the things of the world?
In Genesis 3 Adam and Eve were open to corrupt teaching. They didn't believe what God said and fell into sin.
Remember, we said hard hearts, resistance to the Word, denial of weaknesses and faults, and doubting God's power all led to sin. There are many examples in Scripture, some of which are detailed in the full message.
What are the tendencies of hard-hearted people? Let's take a look:
1. They are critical of others.
2. They judge the motives of others without talking to them. Scripture tells us it's permissible to judge the actions of others, but not their motives. You can only judge the motives when the person tells you what they are.
3. They blame others for their own problems, dilemmas, and shortcomings.
4. They justify their own actions to those not involved.
5. They recruit allies.
Those who exhibited these traits/tendencies were almost always doubters of the things of God.
As always, this is a short summary. We invite you to listen to the entire message on our website Sermon Player. You can also download it to your MP3 player or podcast it FREE.
