…There is no God (Psalm 14:1)

No God = No “future” Mankind wants to follow his own way… However, what about judgment day? 2 Thess 1:6-10a – see vv. 8-9 Make a choice Be faithful to God? Do what you want to do? Get rid of judgment day… Get rid of God all together and live as you please… The fool said in his heart… There is no more future, no perspective, no goals

No God = No “past” Mankind took care of one problem and created another With no God, where do we come from? Bible is clear: Gen 1:1, 26-27 Evolution? Where do we come from? Evolution sounds good in our society The fool said in his heart… At least this took care of it after giving up on God… …or so man thought…

No God = No “present” With no future and no past, mankind is lost Eternal perspective vs. here and now No here and now = man lost his identity (Gen 1:26-27) Dan 4 – the vision of Nebuchadnezzar 4:14-17 – the vision, and Daniel interprets the vision 4:29-30 –12 months go by… 4:31-33 – the decree is carried out See 4:33 Without God we are not much more than an animal The fool said in his heart…

No God = No “present” No God = No present = no morals, no standards… We start worshipping an idol We were created to worship God – see Eccl 3:11 But we worship an idol Not any idol… Enlightenment, man-made knowledge Mankind dismisses the Designer all together Society thinks of God as an excuse for the non-intellectuals The fool said in his heart… But even more so, Prov 26:12

What to do? Phil 2:1-16 Three building blocks for our lives 2:2-5 – Humility It is not about me 2:12-16 – Obedience Prov 15:33 Obey God! Acts 4:29, Phil 2:16 2:2 – Love Love as God defines it!
