TRUTH FOR TODAY

The DaVinci Code

# WHAT IS DOUBT?
## Many people think doubt is the opposite of FAITH, but it isn’t.
** Actually, the opposite of FAITH is UNBELIEF
## Many people think that doubt is UNFORGIVABLE but it isn’t.
** Actually, God doesn’t CONDEMN us when we question Him.

(Jesus) “…Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.” Luke 7:22

## Many people think doubt is UNHEALTHY, but it isn’t always.
## Actually, doubts can produce SOME POSITIVE side-effects — if you work toward resolving them.

“If faith never encounters doubt, if truth never struggles with error, if good never battles with evil, how can faith know its own power? In my own pilgrimage, if I have to choose between a faith that has stared doubt in the eye and made it blink, or a naive faith that has never known the firing line of faith, I will choose the former every time.” — Gary Parker in The Gift of Doubt

“Thomas said to him, My Lord and my God!” John 20:28

# HOW DOES THE VIRUS OF DOUBT INFECT US?
