The PROBLEM With Rejecting GOD And The TRUE "Secret" To Satisfaction (A Sermon)

This is a sermon I gave recently at church where I explored the big questions of philosophy and then presented the various answers available to us. I also have to give a shout-out to Tim Keller here because he essentially preached this same sermon years ago and I remember listening to it then and being so affected by it.
Love you, Tim! Can't wait to talk someday!

God bless you, I’ve been a massive skeptic my entire life and your intelligence, integrity and faith has flipped my world view completely. I’m 27 and I was raised Christian but never truly believed and thought I was better than religion due to my schooling and friends. But you have deconstructed all my views and showed them for the falsehoods they are. I now have a renewed faith that you sparked inside me Once again God bless

Design in Nature: How the Constructal Law Governs Evolution in Physics, Biology, Technology, and Social Organization (Doubleday 2012), by Adrian Bejan and J Peder Zane, can take your world view even higher.

Whoa, you’re on a stage now! Thank you for sharing this, I always like to hear people’s perspectives from their own experiences. When you get into the big “Why?” of life, it reminded me of a question I sought to answer a long time ago, which was “Who would I be if I lost everything I valued?” Your historical approach to the big question is honestly refreshing, I think too little people put too little value in great minds and what they’ve concluded on their life journey.

As a child and teenager I had such a misunderstanding for the deep yearning I had for Jesus, that I tried taking my own life several times. I was raised an atheist, but my intuition told me there was something so much deeper to life. I couldn’t obtain this yearning so I wanted to no longer be human. I didn’t find Jesus until I was 30, but I am so grateful. I am beyond grateful. I believe God has placed on my heart the conviction to help other non-believing youth to find God. Suicide and depression cannot be lifted without Him. I am grateful to have found your page, brother.

Man, the first part of your sermon about the nihilistic reality of a life with no God is so dead accurate, and as much as I've tried to explain this to atheists I talk to on reddit, it just cannot, cannot sink in, and I don't know why. I figured it's hard to recognize you need that living water, that eternal significance we have in Christ, unless you can even recognize you're thirsty in the first place, but they can't hear it. It would be nice if we could take just a piece of the sweet satisfaction and fullness we have in the Lord and offer free samples of that understanding and feeling. There wouldn't be an existentialist or absurdist "answer" anymore, because they would understand Christ was always the piece that belonged in that place in their heart, and they would mourn all the days that went before they knew Him.

[@FaithLikeAMustardSeed]

They really are blind and devoid of understanding. It's like you give them a glass of water and they deny it's existence! Like, it's literally right in front of you! but they are boldly ignorant.

[@tgenov]

It will never sink in. Atheism has blind commitment to empiricism and direct experience, not reason. An atheist has to hit rock bottom and experience the logical consequence of their beliefs themselves, before they will hear reason. This is why they will never understand the point. They are justfiying their commitment to walking the path. They want to hear nothing of where that path leads.

[@derhafi]

@@FaithLikeAMustardSeed "It's like you give them a glass of water and they deny it's existence!" A glass of water has a demonsttrable correaltion with reality. Does your God have that too?

[@derhafi]

"Man, the first part of your sermon about the nihilistic reality of a life with no God is so dead accurate" He said: "If you want total freedom you get total meaninglessness. " Which is nonsense, life IS ab initio meningless, if your little ego accepts that or not. The universe does not care. Deal with it. “There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point… The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it.” - Richard Dawkins Further he said: "without God there is no morality" It is simply insulting to claim that one would not know right from wrong without the gullibility needed to believe in claims of atavistic mythology. He sais that as if both things in it, God and morals are real. Moral exist, they existed long befors his God was invented, they cange over time, sure but they exist and they exist for good, explainanble reasons for us as a sozial species as well as for other animals in comparable situations. Claiming that we need some character from ancient atavistic mythology for that, is an attac on our depest integrety as a species.

[@tgenov]

@@derhafi You are contradicting yourself. If everything is meaningless then "right" and "wrong" are meaningless too. If "right" and "wrong" are meaningless distinctions then morality doesn't exist. Morality is meaningless. If the universe doesn't care, then why do you care about right and wrong? Why do you care about morality? You are literally demonstrating that the video is 100% spot on.

I think there is a kind of truth in the idea that the supreme good is freedom. That to do good is to respect the freedom and wishes of others and secure your own freedom. There is something to that. The problem with it is that people’s wishes often conflict, not only with each other’s wishes but often with thier own interest so that freedom is sometimes (often) a great detriment. However, the truth we sense in the good of freedom derived from the fact that the purpose and good of a living creature is usually revealed through its natural tendencies. What you would do if not interfered with is usually good. The problem with humans is that first of all our sins have corrupted us and second demons are constantly whispering if not screaming in our ears. If it weren’t for these things, freedom would be a great benefit to mankind, and in many ways it still is. But not unmitigated freedom.

The purpose of life is to 'love and to be loved'. I believe that's a G Bernard Shaw quote. But I'd also add that modern angst over 'meaning' was essentially unknown to the 'uncivilized' peoples that have been wiped out. The Native Americans thought of themselves as caretakers of the earth. Hence their lives had meaning, and they knew it. All the English who lived with the natives never wanted to return, having experienced life outside of 'civilization'. Hence the harsh punishments for anyone who 'deserted' the colonial settlements. Bottom line, it really has to do with our consumerist and destructive way of life that engenders this sense of meaninglessness.

You are obviously not opposed and against the lies and false teachings of Religions but opposed and against the Creator's Sovereignty and his Christ's authority and teachings... that is your free will and freedom.... just face the TRUTH about yourself.... about who you are... about who the Atheists and fanatics of Religions are... What is the Creator's favor and reward for imperfect, suffering, and dying human beings? ANSWER - The Creator WANTS all human beings to honor and obey Jesus Christ as his Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" so they can bring upon themselves his favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death. What is the worth, value, and importance of the lives and existence of the Creator and Jesus Christ to all Atheists, Christians, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions? ANSWER - Nothing, all Atheists, Jehovah's Witnesses, SDAs, Mormons, Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Born Again Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions in the world KNOW and are fully aware that they are all united in filling the world with their own teachings and claims that - 1. the Creator is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and respected as the True and Sovereign God 2. Jesus Christ is worthless, useless, and undeserving to be honored and respected as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth 3. the teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their own lives and existence. What is the worth, value, and importance of the lives and existence on earth of all worshippers of the Creator and followers of his Christ?

On the contrary, they became worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasonings, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was darkened.
