I just realized you don't have private messaging! You can tell David and Al at the bottom of the main page (problems, etc. thread). The basis of my faith is the Bible, combined with being open to receiving the truth no matter what it was. I was agnostic although churched, but hadn't ever read the Bible. I began with the gospels, and read the New Testament, but within a week I "knew that I knew" He was Who He said He was, and I was amazed. I know how simplistic that sounds, believe me. I've suggested to others who aren't sure about the reality to just ask Him what the truth is, and if they have the intention to follow Him if He reveals Himself, He has done just that. The key to faith is willingness to obey, and Randy, my faith has just deepened as I've lost physical ability because I'm less distracted by what I want, as I see His willingness to take care of my needs.
