Without going into too much detail, I came to Christ in 1993, and my walk since has been one of near-constant wandering. I'd feel like I had a foothold on the truth, or at least a facet of it, and would cling desperately to that view and test it under the fire of debate and personal study, until I felt that my then-current position was either not-wholly-defensible or just not worth debating any longer. I've been through charismaticism (though I never bought fully into the Word of Faith movement so popular in my area of the US), Baptistic thought, Open Theism, Calvinism, Dispensationalism, Adventism, Catholicism, Mennonitism--I've pretty much run the gamut, except maybe for Methodism. There's been a few theological dabblings mixed in there that I am ashamed to admit even with the anonymity of the Internet protecting me. At the end of these forays I tend to feel far from God and not very interested in persuing theology at all.
I ask prayer because I am in the midst of such a dry season. I'm trying to "plug in" to a local church, just a non-denominational Bible assembly that emphasizes the supremacy of Scripture. I don't really "feel" anything when I go--no great emotional highs, nothing indicating that what I'm doing provides even a modicum of closeness to God--but I will continue to go because I believe God would have me among believers. So, please keep me in prayer.
