In spite of all this, they kept on sinning.

In spite of his wonders, they did not believe.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭78‬:‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬

-It seems with the passing of time, more and more people are seeking better reasons to believe.

-Verifiable miracles, unexplainable coincidences, parting seas and manna from heaven, we’re searching for greater and more contemporary reasons to sustain the faith we’ve long professed.

-“God said it and I believe it” is no longer enough.

So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord!’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.'”—John 20:25

-The lineage of doubting Thomas is all but in our blood.

Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’-verse 29.

-It’s not that we lack miracles and evidences, it’s just a much greater challenge to live by faith.

Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”—Romans 10:17

-Seeking signs and wonders is a poor replacement for a robust study of the bible to build a fortress of sustainable faith.

-If your faith is on wobbly legs, I will venture so is your bible study.

-Faith without works.

It may be a misappropriation of that passage here, but like all things, if it’s something worth having, it’s worth putting in the work and letting go of the whine.
