Read the scriptures (I am amazed that most believers cannot answer simple questions about the scripture. It is no surprise then that non-believers know less about the Word of God). Sometimes you have to start small. Great things don't often happen overnight. If you honestly "believe", even if that belief is tiny, then hand it over to God and let him do the rest. You can do nothing by yourself. God bless you. .-= BillE´s last blog ..<a href="http://weckim.blogspot.com/2009/11/scientists-who-believe-in-god.html">Scientists Who Believe In God</a> =-.

I enjoy talking about my faith to believers and to non-believers if they are interested. I do so in a casual, conversational way. I tell what I believe and leave it up to the other person to tell me what they believe. My faith in God has grown considerably through prayer and reading of the scripture. If you do find that you believe, then you must ask God to reveal the scripture to you. That is a key to faith and it is very individualistic. God gives us different gifts-- gifts of faith, of knowledge, of teaching. But, his greatest gift was his Son, Jesus Christ who died so that we might live.

I was "born" Catholic but not raised as such. I was confirmed in 2007 and haven't been back. It was more of an experience/journey of learning that what I thought of the Catholic church wasn't what it truely was and to finish something that hadn't been. I have dabbled in paganism, spiritualtiy, various beliefs, various different christian beliefs and find them all lacking and unbelievable. To me it is like trying to believe some fantastic fairy tale. How I found you was a search on "Cowboys for Christ". Years ago I met a woman in CFC and she invited me on a trail ride. It was the most fantastic fun I had ever had. What I am searching for is that again. Friendship, openness, helping hand without expecting some sort of payment, a giving heart, someone to understand, to talk to and actually felt heard and understood. Talking to an invisible man just ain't doing it for me. But that is where I am at right now. I feel there is a fence between me and "him" and I just cannot see over it. I too am exploring at age 47.

Very good books, and I think Strobel answers a lot of very good questions. The Real Jesus is also another good book by Strobel, along the same lines. I think Christianity gets a really bad rap in modern culture. As I study history, especially early American history, I'm finding out that a LOT of very very smart people had hashed through the Christian religion and the Bible and found it to be true (like Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Charles Finney, Daniel Webster, Noah Webster, etc). Glad to see you're reading the book. I look forward to reading more about what you find! <abbr><em>Mrs. Mecombers last blog post..<a href="http://newyorktraveler.net/the-art-of-geocaching/">The Art of Geocaching</a></abbr></em> I read The Case for Faith and The Case for Christ, read it with my kids.

That is what I did too. I wanted my decision to be an educated one and for it to be a personal decision and not because it was what I was born into or was told I should believe. I just wanted to offer an ear or if you had any questions I would be glad to help find the answers (or at least try). I used to work with Lee (at the same church), not directly, and he really IS what he seems to be. Great man of great character and a truth seeker too. Anyway, no preachin' here, don't have all the answers but have been on the same journey (with what sounds to be similar doubts and maybe questions). Lost my Dad when I was 16, two babies etc, hard times. Have come out the other side and doing very well! :-) Just wanted to put the offer out there. Blessings to you and Merry Christmas too!
