The Theistic Practicalist!

Hi All,
Doubting Thomas....we've all heard the term. It's used to describe someone who won't believe something unless they can see it and touch it.

Today, we come 'face-to-face' with the disciple Thomas. He wouldn't believe the other disciples, but as soon as he sees Christ, he utters one of the deepest theological statements on the true nature of Jesus: "My Lord and my God!"

Listen to Pastor John as he delves deeper into the reaction of Thomas in that locked room.

Thought for the Week

The very first virtue of true religion is intellectual obedience, in imitation of Christ's obedience to the Father, by which He saved us all. In stark contrast, it has often been said that those who wish to feel religious without surrendering their minds and wills to God inevitably become Anglicans or Episcopalians. - Dr. Jeff Mirus
