When I was a kid and I read that verse, I thought it was kinda screwy. I mean, he believed, he had unbelief. Did the dude believe or not? Maybe he wanted to believe. But in that case, why say “I do believe”?

Church is no laughing matter, right? Wrong.

Free download of Fireflight’s He Weeps HERE. (Hurry up – expires soon!)

Where is God when the rain falls… And takes the car off the road? Is He standing in the storm? Where is God when the child cries… And no one bends to pick her up? Could someone tell me what He does?

He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

He was despised…

Isaiah 53:3

He feels your sorrow.

Run to Him.
