A New Beginning

I am a Christian.

I have been a Christian since the day I was born, and I have hardly missed church on Sundays in my life. My father is a pastor. I served as the president of the youth group of my church for one year and I am currently leading the praise team for my church. Every morning after I get up, before doing anything else, I read the bible for several minutes and and try to understand what God is trying to say to me for that day. Thus you can see that I have a very firm foundation on God.

However, as I grow up(I'm 17 now), I meet more and more people and understand that lots of people don't share my beliefs and views life in a completely different way as I do. I used to be so sure what I believed in was the undeniable truth, but then I found other people who thought the same with their own beliefs. That got me thinking, "There can't be a number of truths, but only one. Am I right in what I believe in? If so, other people are pursuing something in vain. What makes them believe in what they believe? The people they get to meet? Their culture? Their race? Or are they actually correct, whereas I am wrong?"

I think I'm reaching adolescence at the age of 17, which could possibly explain why I'm experiencing this confusion :-). So I am going to begin my quest for the truth, to find out whether what I believe is the truth and hear what other people has to say on what they believe is the truth. It's going to be a lengthy journey!
