Throughout history, mankind has been searching for one thing or another: for knowledge, for new lands, for freedom from religious and political persecution, and for valuable resources such as gold, diamonds, and oil.
People have searched for new pleasures, the perfect mate, and peace in the midst of fighting and carnage.
There has also been an age-old quest for inner peace and for understanding the real reason for our existence.
Out of this quest comes one of the greatest searches: the one to know and experience God.
Inside the human heart is an undeniable, spiritual instinct to commune with its Creator.
We can deny, ignore, or bury that instinct under an avalanche of material things, but the fact that we were created to enjoy God and worship him forever is etched upon our souls.

Countless people have chronicled their search for the Almighty.
Testimonies abound of the life-changing nature of an encounter with God, who sent his Son into the world so that men and women "may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10).
But as interesting as man's quest for God is, it merely points to a far more significant search.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him. You have done foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.” 2 Chronicles 16:9
