Sermon Message: Life Without God
The preacher, Solomon, wrote that “Everything Has Its Time” ():
To everything there is a season.
A time for every purpose under heaven (v.
1):.A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace (v.
8).
But you will find that many us do not have time for God.
Especially, before we were saved.
The following illustration portraits many people mindset:
7133 No Time For God
No time for God?
What fools we are, to clutter up Our lives with common things And leave without heart’s gate The Lord of life and Life itself—Our God!
What fools we are, to clutter up
Our lives with common things
And leave without heart’s gate
The Lord of life and Life itself—
Our God!
No time for God?
As soon to say no time To eat or sleep or love or die.
As soon to say no time
To eat or sleep or love or die.
Take time for God, Or you shall dwarf your soul, And when the angel death Comes knocking at your door, A poor misshapen thing you’ll be To step into eternity!
Or you shall dwarf your soul,
And when the angel death
Comes knocking at your door,
A poor misshapen thing you’ll be
To step into eternity!
No time for God?
That day when sickness comes Or trouble finds you out And you cry out for God; Will He have time for you?
That day when sickness comes
Or trouble finds you out
And you cry out for God;
Will He have time for you?
No time for God?
Some day you’ll lay aside This mortal self and make your way To worlds unknown,
Some day you’ll lay aside
This mortal self and make your way
To worlds unknown,
And when you meet Him face to face Will He—should He, Have time for you?
Will He—should He,
Have time for you?

a) Foolish (thoughtless, dull, senseless, without understanding in spiritual matters; to be ignorant of God and unwise dealing with God.
i) Thoughtless: not applying his thoughts to God; not thinking through the truth about God.
ii) Dull: not being sharp in his thoughts about God.
iii) Senseless: not using good common sense about God.
iv) Without understanding: he does not have the right ideas or thoughts about God.
(1)“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
()
v) Ignorant of God: he does not know God.

Scriptures speaks this way about foolishness: He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
()
b) Man is disobedient (he refuses to obey by not doing what one should)
i) He disobeys parents, civil authorities, civil laws, and the natural laws of nature – polluting and misusing everything about him.
ii) He disobeys the laws of personal duty as he walks day by day at home, in the workplace, and throughout his.
iii) Most tragic of all, in fact, the cause of all other disobedience is that he disobeys God and His Word, the very Person who can save him and who has laid down the commandment of life for man.
Walter Knight wrote:
One night, Canon Hay Aitkin preached to a large audience in Bristol, England, from the text, “Ye must be born again.”
Horatio Bottomley, a fine, brilliant young fellow, listened with rapt attention.
He was deeply moved.
At the close of the message an invitation was given to the unsaved publicly to confess Christ and seek His mercy.
Bottomley thought: “Not I.
This is not for me, I’ll run my own life.”
He did run his own life.
He made a fortune.
He became the people’s hero.
He was a champion of the rights of the common man.
He exposed swindlers and vigorously prosecuted them.
When sixty-three years old, Bottomley, who had exposed the crimes of others, was himself found guilty of crime and sentenced to seven years in prison.
Captain Prayer of the Church Army visited him in prison.
He told Bottomley the story of his conversion.
Said he: “Years ago I was in Colston Hall in Bristol, Canon Hay Aitkin preached on the text, “Ye must be born again.”
I was convicted of sin and of my need of the Saviour.
I accepted Christ and since that memorable time, Christ has been all and in all to me!”
Bottomley thought deeply.
Then he said, “I, too, heard that searching message.
I felt my great need of the Saviour, but I rejected Him.”
Then he said remorsefully, “A life without God is a wasted life!”—Walter B. Knight

(1)Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

(2)“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: From such turn away.
