• Pastor Gerrit Mes of the AFM Pentecostal Fellowship writes:
When my kids were growing up “Finding Wally” was very popular. Pages full of chaos. Hundreds of little figures and hidden in the mess was Wally.
In 2022 finding God must be like trying to find Wally. So many gods, so many voices, it can be confusing. There must be a million gods. Gods of stone, wood, even the sun and stars. Many people become their own gods. Not only are there many religions, even just within Christianity there are so many different churches.
Yes, in 2022 people are still looking for God, but not in church. They look for him in possessions and pleasure.
I believe the search for God is universal. There is not a culture on earth that does not practice some form of worship. It looks like we all have a God-shaped vacuum in our hearts. A vacuum that can be filled by anything we choose. But not everything satisfies.
After a famous Elvis show, the crowd would not leave the venue.
Elvis’ manager, in desperation, took the mic and made this famous statement, “Elvis has left the building”. 2000 years after Christ, it would be sad if a minister had to announce in church on a Sunday, “God has left the building”. Anyone can find God if he or she looks for him with their whole heart.
