Is There A God Who Created Everything Or Is Science Correct?

Correct in what? To be created implies a Creator. To be designed and planned implies a Designer or Planner. There is no final conflict and they can be reconciled. Something must logically be eternal and have no beginning; it’s easier ot believe this is God than the chaos of random energy before the big bang. There’s only one alternative to a Creator behind the creation of the physical world, and that is evolution. But this theory doesn’t answer all the questions of where life came from originally for instance.; we know that life only raised from life as the metabolic motor, DNA, from previous DNA.

What you're then saying is that the world created itself and this is illogical and science is supposed to be logical. Nothing can cause or create itself. All effects must have a cause. Everything that begins to exist and that includes the world has a cause. This begs the question of a First Cause that Aristotle thought and that originated it all. No matter which side you take, you are going by faith because neither theism nor atheism has all the answers and requires you to be a person of faith; faith in science is still faith.

Science, by the way, is not intended to answer metaphysical questions such as the existence of God but only the physical parameters it is limited to. Science is know-how, not know-why. It is a false dichotomy to say that science and faith in God are antithetical and opposes. The scientific method was formulated by Sir Francis Bacon, a believer in God.

Science, you will know has no answer to the origin of the universe before the big bang but from some singularity, but where did that come from? and the big bang is not contrary to God but could be the methodology He used. They siill dont’ know what caused the big bang and even who programmed it with all the universal, physical constants and laws of nature if not the Lawgiver Himself. This refers to intelligent design or ID and leads to an Ulitmate Mind because of the existence of intelligence.

Investing In A Spiritual Legacy

 We all want to be remembered for some kind of legacy: The issues are preferably to be a good influence and force in this life.  We are worth more than our bottom line or portfolio! We all have a purpose in life that God has called us to and like Paul, we must not be disobedient to the heavenly vision,. Actually, we all make investments in life, hopefully, more in people than in things.  That entails being an exemplar or even a father-figure or mentor to someone who looks up to us for leadership: a chance for one-on-one discipleship and investment where it counts for all eternity, not just in a temporal sense; we may find that the best methodology is one person at a time and realizing that the numbers game doesn't all that matter to God but He judges our motives and faithfulness and then He blesses us!

Paul would venture not to speak of but what Christ had accomplished through him! (cf. Romans 15:18).  He realizes that he didn't preach or even plant churches without God's blessing and direction: God gave the increase though he planted or watered the seeds.  All our fruit must come from Him and all we accomplish through the power of the Spirit; He gets all the glory as Mother Teresa would say, "God hasn't called us to success but to faithfulness!" We all are given certain opportunities in life and must seize the day and make the most of them as we are only stewards of God's blessings, gifts, and provisions. 

David was known as a man after God's own heart and proved this by doing and fulfilling all God's will and he did it for the right reasons, not just to gain the approbation of God or favor of men, for He was interested in God's praise, not man's. God has a plan for each of us and we must complete it but it's up to God to fulfill His purpose for us; our job is to be obedient to the heavenly calling. We are to be obedient to the faith and to willingly do God's will, not by compulsion. We must realize that  the Christian testimony is one of relinquishment and being subordinate to God's will as the motto of Jesus' life doubtless was:  "Thy will be done!"  

There is no such thing as a disobedient Christian because we receive Him as Lord and it's contradictory to say, "No, Lord!"  He gives His Spirit to those who obey Him (cf. Acts 2:39).  Our response must be the continuous "Yes!" and "Amen!"   But we cannot say "Yes" to Jesus before we say "No" to ourselves! Note that part of the Great Commission is to teach disciples to obey all Jesus taught. As disciples then we enroll in the school of Christ because a disciple is a learner. 

Now being called by God is not for some elite Christians but for them all. God will fulfill His purpose for you!  But we must be open to God when He opens or closes doors. We don't aim toward knowledge but changed lives, the whole point of conversion, knowing that availability is the key, not just ability. It's up to God to bless and the results are in His hands, not ours! Remember: Our life is but a staging area or tryout and audition for eternity and the chords we strike may vibrate for all time; we will be remembered in some sense but hopefully for goodwill toward our fellow man and faithfulness toward God.  

We must bear in mind that we will be judged for our works (cf. Romans 2:6) whether they are worthy of reward and not wood, hay, and stubble to be burned in the fire (cf 1 Cor. 3:15).  Our faith is not judged, for that is the gift of God, but what we do with it as our gift to God; in essence, God rewards us for what He accomplishes through us.  It's not about human achievement but a divine accomplishment that matters for eternity.   The point in life is not to leave a material legacy or even to be remembered, but to make a difference as far as Gods' will goes--to fulfill all His purpose for you and bring glory to His name. 

In sum, we must acknowledge that we are being used by God for His purposes as either a vessel of honor or dishonor, which shall not fail;  we must not boast as if we have done it of our own accord and independent of God's blessing on our task.   Soli Deo Gloria! 

Science And Faith Have No Final Conflict...

 God has given everyone a basic awareness of HImself and consciousness of eternity but some suppress the truth and go against the conscience which is a God-given moral compass and God says no one has an excuse to deny Him But just believing in God makes you no better than the devil who also believes. But faith in God is a gift and are to be stewards of it and use it to God’s glory by good works producing fruit that we are known by. However, God must open the door of faith and open the heart to bring one to faith as it’s a gift

However, it’s not wrong to believe in science because most of the early scientists who brought about the scientific revolution were believers. Sir Francis Bacon was a believer that invented the scientific method. But the fault comes mainly in biology when they propagate that we evolved from apes and this is the point of contention because it directly contradicts the Bible. One can be a good Christian and a scientist and a good scientist and a Christian. if you think they cannot be reconciled, you understand neither

However, it is a fact that some 80 percent of people believe in God so don't ‘say that most people believe in science. Only pure Secularists and postmodernists mainly don’t. The question is almost a false dichotomy because you can believe in both science and God and many great scientists do and have no problem with their faith. In my opinion, science has helped to prove God; namely, by the Big Bang.

The only reason I would say that some believe more in science than God is that they are ignorant of God and dont’ realize there’s no final conflict. The Bible states scores of scientific facts that were ahead of their time and only discovered even centuries later by science. Note: The Bible doesn’t say the earth was created 6000 years ago! The cosmos was created “in the beginning,” and we believe that was 13.7 billion years ago.

The fool twists the facts to fit his theory. Science only deals with the physical and not the metaphysical like God, which is a philosophical truth, not a scientific one. Reality is what corresponds to truth, and there are philosophical and scientific truths. To believe that science is the only reliable way to truth is not science but “scientism” making it claim philosophical truth claims that are out of the parameters of science.  Soli Deo Gloria!

Are You God's Friend?

 We have heard it said in the Bible that Abraham was the friend of God. He obeyed God and it was counted as righteousness.  Jesus also said that He would call us friends if we do as He commanded us. We are exhorted to love one another even as He loved us. Love is the greatest of laws and can never be satisfied.  It's an eternal debt of gratitude to God for His ultimate and supreme sacrifice on the cross. He gave His all and wants us to be willing to take up our crosses and follow Him. Now, my point is that God may be our friend but we may not live or love as His friend, but as enemies and even practical atheists who can live like there is no God and let one's faith have little effect on one's ethic and way of life.  

In reality, we can be servants at the same time as friends because we must not put God in a box and say something like, "I like to just see Jesus as my friend," when He is Lord and Judge! God would never treat us as His enemies no matter what we do, but if we go astray, He will discipline and chastise His wayward children but only in love,  Note that only he who believes is obedient; only he who is obedient believes. These two go hand in hand and cannot be divorced.  In other words, there can be no disobedient believers by definition.  

Now when two instruments are tuned to the same pitch they are in tune with each other and can make music in perfect harmony. It' the same with friendship: If two believers are obedient and walking in the Spirit, they should be in harmony or fellowship with each other. or as they say on the same page. This is why no one can claim to love God and not his neighbor and anyone can love his friend, family, or lover, but we to love our enemies. Note that Jeus defined the greatest possible love as laying down your life for them. And this is what Jesus did for us while we were yet His enemies.  The important thing is that we abide in Christ's love and manifest it to the world as ambassadors of it. Soli Deo Gloria! 

The Heart Of Worship

 "Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name: worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness"  (Psalm 29:2, NIV).

"Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD," (cf. Psalm 89:15, NIV). 
"But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of thy Israel" (Psalm 22:3, KJV).

God desires those who worship to do so in spirit and in truth (cf. John 4:24), and this implicates our whole being and that we do it in the right spirit, or filled with the Spirit, and in truth or not hypocritical, phony, or mere lip service--but also consistent with sound doctrine--God is the God of Truth!   We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and this means everything that we are--our whole being!  It doesn't mean you be something you're not, but to be what God made you and do what you were designed to do. 

There's no "one-size-fits-all" way to worship:  some are traditionalists, seeking liturgy and ritual; some are musical; some caregiving; some activists; some contemplative; and some are even intellectual.  We are not all hard-wired the same, but we are all meant, designed, and made for worship.  Dostoevsky said, "Man cannot live without worshiping something."  That is, if we don't worship God, we will worship something; i.e., we will worship!  We've been called Homo religiosus, or the religious man or being.  We all have a spark of the divine in us and have been called Homo divinus (penned by John Stott) to point that out.

Worship (meaning worth-ship or ascribing worth that's due) isn't always corporate or in the church assembly--though this is highly rewarding and encouraging.  We offer ourselves to God or consecrate ourselves in surrender.  The believer must learn to live his life as a sacrifice to God and as a service to Him in offering himself.  God doesn't want our achievements--He wants us!   We don't want to just go through the motions, or get into a rut, but seek meaning and purpose in our worship.  We don't just go to church to worship--we go to work!  For example, A man laying bricks was asked what he was doing and he responded that he was building a chapel!  The condition of our soul and spirit is what is our aim, not just where we are. 

We are to keep the channel open and the link connected to God as we continually practice the presence of God in our daily chores and activities. Martin Luther proclaimed manual labor as dignified and to the glory of God.   All that we do is to be to God's glory (cf. 1 Cor. 10:31).  Living our lives in God's will is our sacrifice to Him, and this is our yoke, not the Law, as in the old covenant--this is real spirituality.  God wants our obedience in life and this is more important than being religious or having religiosity:  "To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams" (cf. 1 Sam. 15:22).

The reason we meet together for corporate worship though is that we all have different gifts and need mutual edification.  Like it says in 1 Cor. 14:26 (NIV) that when we meet together "everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation." The gifts are given for the benefit of the body as a whole, not just for our personal growth.  The point of corporate worship is that the singing of hymns and spiritual songs is not the only form of worship:  We worship in giving of our monetary blessings; we worship in the Lord's Supper as a memorial to Him that contemplate; we worship by heeding the preaching of the Word, and we worship by our fellowship with our brethren. 

By way of analogy, our entire lives are to be an act of giving or of worship and thanksgiving as we render to God His due and live according to His will and walk with Him in the Spirit.  Worship is sacrifice among other criteria:  There are two sacrifices that the Bible stresses, besides the ones given in the Mosaic Law:  The sacrifice of praise (cf. Heb. 13:15); and the sacrifice of thanksgiving (cf. Ps. 50:23).

In summation, Psalm 100:1, 3, 4 (KJV, boldface mine)  portrays the right mental attitude or formula for opening the door to the throne room of God into His dimension for spiritual worship as follows:  "MAKE a joyful noise ...  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with thanksgiving, know ye that the LORD he is God ... Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful  unto him and bless his name." [Note that we worship in making noise (i.e., audible attention-getting devices), serving (missions, ministry), coming (approaching in prayer--corporate and private, and fellowship--corporate and one-on-one) to Him, offering praise, being thankful (in everything), and in giving blessings (to God and others).]   Soli Deo Gloria!

Authentic Worship

 "... [Shout] unto God with the voice of triumph" (Psalm 47:1, KJV).

"I WAS glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD" (Psalm 122:1, KJV).
"Blessed is the people who know the joyful sound..." (Psalm 89:15, KJV).
"Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with song of praise" (Psalm 95:2, ESV).
"Blessed are the people who know the festal shout [call to worship]" (Psalm 89:15, ESV).

The heart of the matter of worship is that it's a matter of the heart; it reflects the condition of your heart and the extent of its surrender and offering to God, not how much of the Spirit you have, but how much of you the Spirit has. When someone says that he didn't get much out of worship, it only reveals his ignorance of its purpose--to glorify, extol, and lift up the Lord--that your motives are wrong and your worship for the wrong reason. The reason we worship is that we are designed for it and it is only natural--we are called homo divinus, or homo religiosus, meaning we are fulfilled and meant for worship as religious beings--much more, we will worship someone or something, if not God for we are hard-wired for it; however, God is the only one worthy of our worship. "Worthy are you ... to receive glory..." (Rev. 4:11, ESV). That’s because worship is from the contraction worth-ship.

Worship is about having an encounter with the God who is there; in fact, Christianity is not about believing in God, but the God who is in there. Francis Schaeffer says, "He is there, and He is not silent." Indeed, God melts us, molds, fills us and then uses us in worship as we recharge our spiritual batteries and get our checkup in the corporate worship experience of the local body of believers that we congregate and assemble with regularly. There is no one-size-fits-all for worship and that's probably why there are so many worship experiences; some are demonstrative, some stoical, but God sees the heart, while man looks on the outward appearance (cf. 1 Sam. 16:7; 1 Chron. 28:9) or “Your name is on their lips, but you are far from their hearts,” (cf. Jer. 12:2, NLT). Posture and gestures can be important, but mere lip service is vain and fruitless. We don't want to be like Israel: "... 'Is the LORD among us or not?'" (Ex. 17:7, ESV).

Worship is what church is all about, even in our giving we are doing it. And going to church should not be considered something on our to-do list or something we do perfunctorily, but something we gladly and willing do; you could say we "get to" worship God, not that we have to. Some say that they can worship God in the cornfield, so why attend church? Worship is more than music (Jubal invented in in Gen. 4), and some think they only go to church to hear a sermon, but we must realize that there is a purpose for each part of the service in our worship experience. They haven't discovered the power of corporate worship and that whenever two or three are gathered together in His name, Jesus promises to be present. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us not to forsake the assembling together of ourselves--this is a command--God gives no advice, suggestions, or hints except in 1 Cor. 14:26 describing the gathering of believers.

Worship is important to us because we learn to connect with God and it changes us, not God--God invites us to join Him in His joy and gladness (cf. Neh. 8:10). The call to worship is to focus on who God is and what He has done as we thank Him for His actions, and praise Him for His being. We have the right attitude when we are in awe and humble ourselves before Him in Spirit and in truth. Remember, worship is about God, it's not about you! We learn to seek the presence of the Lord and His face and to be used by God in our surrender to bring Him joy, focusing on His presence on face.

We need to be reminded of the Spirit on a regular basis to keep in touch and not lose track of our fellowship--it's easy to drift off and backslide without regular fellowship and corporate worship--none of us is a rock or an island that needs nobody else--we all need each other for expression and mutual ministry Remember, worship is active and not passive, not something we listen to, but take part in and put all that we are able into it. Some have a form of godliness in so-called will worship, but deny the power thereof (cf. 2 Tim. 3:5).

Church, then is not a place for the goody-goodies to gather or those who think that it's a crutch for weak people or losers--indeed, no perfect people need apply, as God calls not the righteous, but sinners to repentance and church should be viewed as a hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints. They say that it's filled with hypocrites too, but we should tell them to join in because they'd feel right at home! We don't abandon church or Christ as believers, but we can drift away slowly and should know the warning signs, like our worship becoming routine and perfunctory and hypocritical. The church is our lifeblood and the means of our renewal because the body needs each member and we are all in it together to glorify God and fulfill the Great Commission. The church is not meant to be a comfortable place for sinners to feel at home, but where the gospel is preached and people are enjoined to come to a decision, and making no decision is making a "No!" decision.

We must realize that "God inhabits the praises of His people" (cf. Psalm 22:3) and that we enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with joy (cf. Psalm 100:3) and that we should bless Him with all that is within us--all our being (cf. Psalm 103:1)--and be ourselves, not hypocritical. God thrives on worship and "The Lord takes pleasure in His people" (cf. Psalm 149:4a, CEV). We must worship God "in Spirit and in truth" (cf. John 4:24). The essence of worship is bringing joy and pleasure to God, and whenever we feel this joy in the Spirit, no matter what our endeavor--even working--it is worship and brings glory to God. "... [W]hatever you do, do to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31, ESV). When God smiles on you, or you feel His pleasure, you're worshiping.

You can go to church to worship God or you can go to the factory to worship Him, for authentic worship is the offering of ourselves (as a living sacrifice (cf. Rom. 12:1.) The way we are in our daily lives is worship or sacrifice--we live and breathe worship! We must see the whole world as His temple and fertile territory for worship. Wherever we sense awe, love, respect, and fear we have the right attitude to come before His presence in thanksgiving for what He's done and praise for who He is, and put ourselves in the frame of mind to worship. Our life is an offering to God as we present ourselves to Him in devotion and live to His glory as vessels of honor! Let all that is within us praise the Lord!

Just like prayer, worship should change us, not God, and one should say that they realize we have been in the presence of God or have been with the Lord, as your "cup overflows." Finally, we must realize our need for worship and that it is a litmus test of our spiritual growth and condition, and we cannot thrive or grow without it having its rightful place.

Surely the fear of the LORD is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!’” (cf. Gen. 28:16). Or worst-case scenario: As Abraham said, “Surely the fear of the LORD is not in this place.” (cf. Gen. 20:11). Worship is the serious business of God and heaven. Soli Deo Gloria!

Do You Struggle With God?

 We must be honest in our relationship with God and admit everything isn't a perpetual spiritual high or some Cloud Nine!  Our walk of faith is not Polyanna!  We all struggle with our faith if it is genuine because it must be tested for its genuine grit.  It's okay to tell God like it is and be honest about your issues, problems, and trials.  The patriarch Job threw a fit with God and found out that it was his way of venting with God and his personal lament was finally recognized and God heard him. the struggle with faith is faith!  Doubt in faith is not just a Christian issue but a  human one. If faith were not difficult and it was easy, it wouldn't have much value (therefore it must be tested), and the only reality where faith isn't easy, can it really exist.   God has placed us all in the same boat where only faith pleases Him and we all have the ability to exercise some degree of faith.   We must take a leap of faith, not into the unknown, but into the light!  

We must learn to take our problems directly to the top and seek God's face in our deepest and lowest funks and when we are in the pits and have the doldrums. We have this privilege because Christ has promised He will hear any petition in His name.  We are not the only believers to ever suffer depression; if you read Psalm 42-43, 147,  and you will see how discouraged the psalmist got at times, yet he never gave up on God. God wants us to learn to turn to Him in our troubles; we will either become bitter or better by the process!  We cannot learn to trust God in the good times; in fact, these are the times we are likely to forget God. 

Did you know that honesty with God and not hiding our true feelings is a form of worship!  If we come to God on false pretenses or with some coverup, that is hypocrisy. Do you even think you have a case against God like Job did, well tell it to Him but don't turn to men for your answers; take it directly to the LORD in prayer. It is not a sin to be depressed but this is a matter of our disposition and can be because of circumstances that can befall anyone.  Don't be like Asa who sought not the LORD in his illness but the aid of the physicians! (2 Chron. 16:12).  We will find out that God is still with us in our time of trouble and that He is our Deliverer. We will then realize that the answer to our problems is not some philosophy or ethic but a Person.  Jesus is the Answerer! 

In the end, we will have a stronger tried, true, and proved faith that can face any problem because we've learned to go directly to God first and not as a last resort.  "If you do not stand firm in your faith you will not stand firm at all," (cf. Isaiah 7:9).  Soli Deo Gloria! 

Do All Christians Worship The Same God Despite Division?

 They don’t just claim to worship the same God, but do! All Christians believe in the creeds of the church written by the church fathers, such as the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, and the Chalcedonian Creed. What makes a sect or faith Christian is whether they believe in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, all coequal, coeternal, and co-existent. It is the sects that deny equal status to Jesus as God the Father and make Him less than full deity.

There are only minor differences of opinion (people are human and can interpret certain passages of the Bible in a different light) and on areas that are only minor such as mode of baptism, church government, mode of communion, types of worship. Most Protestants feel they can get along with all other Protestants because they all oppose Roman authority over the church and its members; however, most believe Catholics are believers with irreconcilable differences. Most however Christians would concur with St. Augustine: “In essentials, unity, in nonessentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” Amen! 

Is The Existence Of God A Metaphysical, Ontological, Or Cosmological One?

The question of God’s existence is essentially philosophical or theological. God is metaphysical or beyond the physical realm in which science and empiricism operates within their parameters. It’s not subject to scientific investigation: God cannot be measured, observed, or tested for hypothesis or validated even by experience in an empirical method because He is not audible, visible, nor tangible but spirit. We can no more measure God for experimental reasons that measure foot of love or pound of justice. God will not submit to our laboratory conditions.

The question of God’s existence may be verified in an ontological scheme of thinking: where did we acquire this knowledge since apes don’t build chapels? How can we conceive of God if He doesn’t exist? God has put the knowledge of eternity and basic awareness of Him in us; that’s why every culture throughout history has had its gods and religions. God has made it plain to us (cf. Romans 1:19-21) so that we are without excuse. 

Seeing God as the First Cause or unmoved mover or uncaused cause is a cosmological rationale. Nothing happens by itself but all events are caused: what caused the big bang, for instance—Christians believe the best explanation is God because He is omnipotent. The law of cause and effect has been very handy in deducing God’s existence. Everything that begins to exist, has a cause; the universe began to exist and must be caused—nothing can create or cause itself. God needs no cause because He is eternal without beginning and is the Creator, not the creature or creation.

In other words, there are many ways to prove or argue for God’s existence including the teleological one in which things have purpose and intelligence or harmony. Purpose, design, plans, and beauty don’t just happen. Design implies a Designer for example. Purpose a Purposer. Intelligence demands an Ultimate Mind. The order of creation must be “Thinker, thought, thing.” Things don’t think on their own initiative but demand a Thinker who designed them so. Soli Deo Gloria! 

"I Am What I Am By The Grace Of God."

 Paul declares this in 1 Cor. 15:10 to show his grace-orientation and blessings in God as he was redeemed from being Christ's archenemy of the church who nearly wreaked havoc on its spread. We have no right to look down on the wicked as if we are superior because we were once the enemies of God ourselves!  (cf. Romans 5:10).  We are to be held to a higher standard and realize that what God holds against sinners is realizing sin and not believing in His Son.  But God had mercy on him! George Whitefield said as he saw a condemned man go to the gallows:  "There but for the grace of God go I."  We must realize that if God withdrew His grace we would be no better than the run-of-the-mill sinner if not worse; we'd be left to our own evil devices or schemes!  ("The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.. Who can know it?"  --Jer. 17:9). 

Our righteousness is God's gift to us, not our gift to God! (cf. Isaiah 45:24; Romans 15:18; Hosea 14:8; Isaiah 26:12).  This means we all have a dark side that only God knows about; we have seen ourselves for who and what we are and the picture isn't pretty!   Christian author Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, we all have an old sin nature that remains after salvation and we must not obey it. We have a new man as well as an old man and the one we feed and nourish the most dominates our demeanor and conduct. We must cease to do evil and learn to do good; it's not automatic or a given.  Even the fruit of the Spirit is a given but must be cultivated before it's ripe enough to harvest. We will reap what we sow. 

The wicked live by the rule of the jungle, each man for himself, looking out for Number One while trying to win the rat race. But his reward is in this life (cf. Psalm 31:15) and we are not to get too comfortable in our temporary abode as we are citizens of heaven and only passing through on a green card and are in a dry run or staging area, or dress rehearsal for our permanent home with the Lord. We have salvation in three tenses: our past is forgiven, our present is given meaning, and our future is secured.  We are saved from the penalty of sin, we are being saved from its power, and we shall be saved from its presence.  

Our lives stand in contrast to the wicked who lives for the here and now and virtually eats, drinks, and is merry as if he were ot die tomorrow.  The wicked do what is right in their own eyes and live for themselves, not some higher purpose or power. Essentially, they waste their lives and have no ultimate purpose, meaning, dignity, or worth.  They live according to what is right in their own eyes go their own way, or act according to feelings or worse yet, libido. (cf Judges 17:6; 21:25; Isaiah 55:6). When you don't surrender to the Lordship of Christ, you surrender to Satan's chaos and evil.  There's no middle ground of neutrality!s  The central question of humankind is: What think ye of Christ?  Even Christians can be deceived by the devil and held captive by him to do his will (cf. 2 Tim. 2:26) and should pray to be delivered from the evil one as the Lord's prayer says.  

We should realize that the wicked are self-condemned by their own conscience (cf. Romans 2:14-15) and will all be judged by our works either for reward as Christians or for salvation for the lost (cf. Romans 2:6; 2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 16:27; Psalm 2:12).  God's kindness and goodness are meant to lead them to repentance (cf. Romans 2:4).  We are held to a higher standard and should realize that God can convert the wicked just like He converted us! No one who repents is too far gone for grace! (cf. Isaiah 1:18). But the wicked are too proud to seek God and believe they are not accountable since they reckon Him as dead and do not see their own sin due to their pride.  (cf Psalm 10:4); none seeks God! (cf Psalm 14:2).    Soli Deo Gloria!
