Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 26, 2005

based on 71 ratings

| 4,535 views

A look at Thomas’s doubts and the reason for them with a warning about unbelief in our own lives.

We have all at some time probably cynically said about something “I’ll believe it when I see it”, with the implication that we will not believe it until it is seen.
