 What Jesus is saying in Matthew is simply that an enslavement to visible things calls into question our faith in invisible things. Enslavement to visible things radically calls into question our real faith in invisible things. If you know there’s a God who’s taking care of you, who owns everything, that changes you totally in your attitude toward other things.<ref>Timothy J.

-=Doubt your doubts=
-You can’t possibly doubt anything unless you do so from the stance of faith. You can’t doubt everything at once, because, in many of your cases, you refuse to doubt your doubts.
-Do you know what the first step to faith is? Start to doubt your doubts. Why doubt me and never doubt your own faith assumptions?
-It wouldn’t be fair to only doubt belief, only doubt faith, would it? Surely, if you’re going to doubt faith and ask very hard questions about faith, wouldn’t you doubt your doubts? Shouldn’t you doubt your doubts? Shouldn’t you ask hard questions about unbelief? You’re standing someplace even when you doubt. You can’t doubt without standing someplace. <ref>Timothy J.
