Hi James, nice to meet you (I'm Tammy's husband),
I'm sure I don't have all the answers, but I think I have at least two--that can be an aid to you in your search.
#1--Jeremiah tells us: "Ye shall seek me, and find me, WHEN YE SHALL SEARCH FROM ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART." {Jeremiah 29:13}
I think that's one of the most important verses in all the Bible.
Going along with that, Jesus said: "ANYONE WHO CHOOSE TO DO WHAT GOD WANTS HIM TO DO will find out whether my teaching comes from God or from me." {John 7:17 NIrV}
Whatever in the Bible you see to be true and right--do it.
As you walk in the light things will grow clearer.
As for personal experience: All I'll say now is that true Bible religion has made me a MUCH better man--for which I am eternally grateful, and wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
God bless you, we'll be praying for you, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a long and profitable friendship.
Hello. Thank you for praying for me, I appreciate your care.
I know those two verses and others that require a fervent a most sincere search of Him and His truth. Well, I strived for a long time, and deeply and honestly. The ideas from the Bible have taught me me to think about moral things, not only about survival. I used to be very different. But anyway, when I pray or call to God or seek Him or fast, there is no answer. Life doesn’t change. Circumstances don’t change. People around don’t change. There is no effect. God, if He’s there, is silent. I only see natural laws working and inquisitive, creative and industrious human mind. God seems to be hiding somewhere…
