Back in college I remember struggling mightily with the question, "what is Truth". The very question Pilate asked Jesus in John 18. Right before I gave my heart and life to Christ, my quest for truth was more concerned with, "Which church (denomination) is right for me," or, "What major should I choose for my career." After I committed to Christ I struggled with the secularization of 'truth' in a worldview that was different than mine. I filtered through what was True and what wasn't in my college textbooks. I became irritated with being handed an overload of information while the instructors of the classes were encouraging everyone to, "Think for yourself!" and, "Question the previous way of thought." I realized there was a strong movement to break down and destroy any historically accepted method of deciphering Truth, (ie. The Bible) and to put complete faith in the rarely questioned Scientific Method. The Method is the only way that a person can collegially decide what is true and what is false. I stressed over this fact for a full semester, which ultimately ended up creating a depressing mess that put Britni through a lot! There simply had to be other ways in which Truth is known and discovered. I made it my mission to find out, and to eventually teach others what I learn.
