From the parable of the sower in the book of Mathew 13:21-22, you can easily get the definition of the title of this message, “The unbelieving Believers”
Read below:
“Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
“When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.This is he which received seed by the way side.”
“But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it.”
“Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by, he is offended.”
“He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.”( Matthew 13:18-22).
From above:
