Life without God is impossible , it's impossible because they very thing you want from life is happiness. But without God you can't have happiness. So therefore life without God is impossible. It's meaningless. It's futile. It has no real benefits. Some would argue with this statement , but I think deep down if we were very real with ourselves and our friends and everyone in general, we know there is something missing. Therefore life without God is incomplete. Maybe that is the better word. It's incomplete because you feel there is something missing, but how can that be ? I lived a great life , I had great kids, a great job, I was Rotarian of the year , my retirement is secure , how then do I still feel like I am missing something ? This is the ironic thing of life . The One Thing we need , is sometimes, if not all times, the very One we never seek. I think this is vanity in itself , that man knows deep down there is a God and that God is the meaning to life , and yet man doesn't want to know God or accept Him. It's utter foolishness. It's utter bewilderment, and yet we all do it. What is wrong with us ? How can I go a whole day without thinking of God ? And somehow I think I'm going to be okay and be happy and full of life ? How can we constantly pursue worldly pleasures when we know they all lose their luster ? It's madness . It really is madness . We have a 100% chance of dying and yet we don't even talk about death. It's this don't bring it up kinda ghost in the room. Yes you and I are going to die . So we better figure out how to live and live eternal. That is why organic food is so popular. Modern medicine promises hope. These are not bad things but they can almost lead people to believe that death is not real in a way. Like somehow you can avoid it. Life without God is death. I don't mean death to your sinful self. I mean death to what your soul really longs for: Life. Again life without God is death.
