Ask
God-followers why they believe what they believe and
how they know their beliefs are true.
Recognize
that following God must make sense: truth may go
beyond reason, but not against it.
Scour the
shelves at a Christian bookstore or church library
for credible authors, or ask your Christian friends
for a list of authors who have inspired them in their
walk with God.
Write down
your questions, especially about what you read in the
Bible, and take them to a knowledgeable Christian who
respects your seeking process.
Know your
presuppositions — the things you already believe
— and try not to let them interfere with your
quest for the truth.
Stay open to
actually finding what you're looking for: fear of
commitment and change can keep you from finding the
truth.
Keep a
journal of your thoughts and feelings during your
search.
Know your
personal issues: your past will profoundly influence
your present ability to be objective.
Remember that
you don't have to know everything to know something.
Determine to
seek for a specific period of time, and continually
evaluate your progress. Then try to reach an
appropriate conclusion.
Act on what
you decide.
