The Day He Quit Doubting

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 6, 2020

Thomas refused to believe Jesus had risen from the dead. He even stated what proof he would need in order to believe. But when he saw the risen Lord, everything changed!

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

The Doubting Thomas In Us

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 24, 2021

Knowledge Is Power

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 15, 2020

scientia potentia est is a Latin saying meaning knowledge is power. While this can be true in an academic sense, the idea that knowledge is power is also true in a spiritual sense. Let's get into 2nd Peter and see what having spiritual knowledge enables us to do.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 2nd Peter 1:1-3 When I was preparing the Sunday School lesson for last week, I had 2 Peter 1:3-4 as part of an answer to one of the questions.
