When was the last time doubt filled your mind? Doubt is a disease part of fallen human nature. Biblically, Thomas is the person who epitomizes doubt most. Poor “Doubting Thomas” has been stuck with his nickname because he said he would not believe that Jesus had been raised from the dead unless he personally saw […]
Imagine a pitch-black night in a strange neighborhood with unfamiliar surroundings. All the sudden fear strikes like an upper cut from Mike Tyson, simply because you’re lost.
