G. K. Chesterton said, A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed." I heard one emergent church leader say that the reason that Peter began to sink when he stepped out of the boat was that he doubted himself. The greatest sin according to this leader is not to believe in yourself. I think Chesterton knew what this man was thinking. It is time to put things back into perspective, God's that is not man's. Jude reminds us that we are to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. Jude 3. Truth was given to us by God and passed on to us by the apostles. It did not come from within us. Our hearts are deceitful and idol factories. Let us doubt ourselves but be undoubting about the truth.
