Hey all, my name is Spencer. I didn't grow up religious. My parents brought us to Church once a year maybe. I've been exploring a lot of different religions, but recently just read the Bible through cover to cover. I think there is more good information in the Bible than anywhere else that I've found, and the healing I've seen from people who have turned their lives over to Jesus is something that I desperately want in my life. I still don't understand everything in the Bible, but I am very anxious to learn more. I want the relief that so many others have found in this faith.

It has been said that whoever wrote the Koran knows nothing about human nature, whoever wrote the Bible knows all about it!

Christianity isn't a philosophy or a religion, it is a relationship.
You can only grow in that relationship by first entering into it by allowing the other person to introduce themselves and say to/show you whatever they deem appropriate!

That inevitably means you will need to receive His Spirit, be "born again".

Jesus said to "learn of me", for that you need to take his yoke - he was yoked to The Holy Spirit - who brings God's power, love & understanding. (Matt. 11:28-29)

Dear Spencer, Remain steadfast in reading the Bible and search for how you can obey God's word. This will give peace to your soul.

Psalm 119:9-12
How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, Lord;
teach me your decrees.
