Back in Texas
The past two months have been wild. I feel as though I've shifted from a faithful servant of Christ to a struggling skeptic of the Bible. It has been crucial to my faith, and it is not yet reconciled. It has shocked most people whom I've told, but I'm not alive to be pretentious, I'm here to find truth that doesn't hinge on how I feel at one time or another. I came to a point where I could not reasonably explain why I believe in the Bible, in its inerrancy and completion, in it being the divinely inspired Word of God. I had been believing on the basis of feeling, and when I began to feel bad more and more, I realized that I needed something more concrete, something that would transcend my own emotions and stay solid in the face of adversity. That is the quest I embarked on, and while it has rendered me hopeless and confused at times, there has been an undercurrent of motivation that keeps me searching for this absolute truth.
