Who Do You Look Like?

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 27, 2006

Doubtless Belief

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 10, 2006

Our faith must be an active faith. It must come alive to bring others to Christ.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THOMAS MISSED THE FIRST EASTER APPEARANCE OF JESUS. WHAT I FIND TO BE EVEN MORE INTRIGUING IS THE FACT THAT THE DISCIPLES ARE STILL HIDING BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR ONE WEEK FOLLOWING THEIR ENCOUNTER WITH THE RISNEN CHRIST. I THINK THOMAS GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE ...read more
