“Doubting Thomas” has become a label put on those who fail to believe. For some, it is not about believing in Christ but about their general faith. Is it wrong to doubt?

How does a person get better at a sport or an instrument? How does a person do better in school or in their profession?

It is no different when it comes to one's Christian walk.

The fellowship of God as Father, Son, and Spirit has been opened to us by the gift of Jesus at Calvary. But we cannot truly experience their fellowship in isolation from all others who have been called into it. Paul shares how Christ's prayer can become a reality.

People are watching you! What they see has an influence on them…and it should. Jesus is clear that we are to make a difference. Let's look at the explicit implications of what Jesus is saying and apply them to where we live. Note the special characteristics of the "light of the world."

Life has a way of using us up. It takes a lot of energy to handle what is thrown at us on a daily basis.
