Doubt, in a religious context, is usually viewed as a negative thing. We generally equate doubt with a lack of faith. After all, didn’t Jesus say as much to Peter in Matthew 14:31 when He saved Peter from drowning. “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” We think that having doubts puts us into the same category as “doubting Thomas”.

by Dennis LoweIn general, people don’t like it when bad things happen to them. In fact, we will go to extreme lengths to try to avoid trouble or to mitigate it if it does happen. And in spite of all that we try to do to avoid having bad things happen to us, we just can’t avoid it. When it happens, we will deal with it as best we can and then go back to trying to...

by Dennis LowePeople have always claimed that they know when the world is going to be destroyed. In spite of the fact that Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” (Matthew 24:36), they believe that the bible tells them when the end of the world will be. And it always seems that the world is going to...
