:I began where you are when I was sixteen. I am now seventy. The discoveries I made for myself out of my zeal for the Lord often overturned what I thought was the truth ("''Wow! I didn't know that!''"). In fact, this goes back to when I first went forward at the age of twelve to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I silently prayed, as I walked forward, "Lord, if you show me truth, which totally overturns what I think is the truth, then help me to drop that, and cling to what You give me. Amen." I simply wanted to be "honest to God". Always remember [http://www.biblehub.com/multi/matthew/7-8.htm Matthew 7:8]. | :I began where you are when I was sixteen. I am now seventy.
