Thomas The Doubter Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Thomas got tagged as the doubter because of his one experience. On this basis he gained a reputation as if he was a skeptic. The fact is we have as much evidence on record as we need to call him Thomas the dedicated defender.

Sometimes popular ideas about biblical characters are so accepted that one is compelled to go along with them almost as if they were inspired, but they are often arbitrary and superficial. No one ever calls John the Baptist John the doubter, yet his experience of doubt was far more serious than ...read more

Fencing Off Your Offenses

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Apr 5, 2024

Carrying an offense can be damaging to one's spiritual walk and relationships with others. Learning to defend against these offenses can be a protection, and learning to praise God at the onset can prove to be a powerful fence against the offense.

Fencing Off Your Offenses Proverbs 18:19 says, “A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle.” What does it mean to be offended and how is that different than unforgiveness? If unforgiveness is a prison, then an offense is the door that ...read more

We are in a battle against spiritual forces and to not only defend ourselves but go on the offensive with the Gospel, we need to wear the full armour of God, not just one or two items, as if we do not need God for everything, but all six.
