GREAT quote.

"Sometimes doubting is not a lack of faith but rather an expression of it. Sometimes to doubt is merely to insist that God be taken seriously, not frivolously — to insist that our faith is placed in and upheld by something other than seeming conjuring tricks... In other words, biblical faith progresses by an alternating rhythm of yes and no, a taking hold and a letting go, a believing and a doubting. Peter represents that part of our heritage that says 'I will believe though I have not yet seen.' But Thomas represents the other, equally needed part of our heritage: 'Unless I see, I will not believe.' More than ever, the strength of evangelical faith must draw from both sides of the heritage."
