What does God look like?  Some see him as a stern, angry old man figure, ready to pounce on you for every sin.  Others picture a generous, loving Daddy, who lavishes gifts and riches on those who have faith (and send in seed money).  Still others believe in him, but they regard him as distant, not willing to intervene in our troubles.  These positions reflect a constantly changing landscape of religious belief in America.  England and Australia have had similar results from their surveys.  Young people are longing for a sense of security in this crazy world.  They want to believe.  They are our future.  Instead of trying to bind them with the faith of our fathers, we should encourage them to seek their heavenly Father in their own way.  Because when they find him, it will be a lasting relationship that will change the world.  God truly lives through love and hope.
