Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
It continues to be a great pleasure and honor to steward this pulpit with the saints of Durbin Memorial Baptist Church and present the Word of God.
I want to begin this morning by sharing a quote from Pastor Tim Keller.
Pastor Tim and I would not agree on all things but the point made in this quote is very pertinent to what we are going to be getting into this morning.
He said,
“Everyone is religious.
Every religion points to something that is ultimate.
Your religion points to what really most matters to you.
Even if you just live for yourself and you say the only thing that matters to me is that I’m free to choose what I want to do with my life, then your freedom now is the ultimate thing.
Your freedom is like your god.
It’s what you put your faith in and your hope in as well as your own competence to make decisions about how to live life.
So if you’re living for your own freedom, or if you’re living for your family, or you’re living for your nation or you’re living for God, or you’re living for a certain kind of god, that affects the way in which you live.
Everybody has to serve something as their ultimate hope and meaning in life.
Therefore everyone is religious.”
