The Nothings of Unrestraint (Part Two) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

Paul said we walked the course of this world before we were saved. * Ephesians 2:2- Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: The course of this world is a path of unrestraint. * The Course of this World * The course of this world is Camouflaged like a chameleon on a jungle plant. It presents sin as fun and thrilling, but does not reveal what is at the end of a wicked path. Glitter leads to gloom. The sweetness of sin soon sours. * Like decaying meat infested with maggots, the course of this world is Carnal and Corrupt, catering to the unrestrained lust of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life. * The course of this world Condemns and is Critical of Jesus Christ and His Word, rejecting God's truth and substituting it with foolishness. * The course of this world is Confusing and Contradictory, calling that which is evil as "good" and that which is good is "evil." Trees and animals are considered more important than the lives of people. Rights to murder are defended and promoted over the rights of unborn, aborted babies. Men declare themselves to be women and women declare themselves to be men. * The course of this world is Crazy, promoting theories of creation and science that are foolish, illogical, contradictory, unproven, and silly, yet, are accepted as profound and scholarly. * Like an airplane in a death spiral, the course of this world Coils into a downward spin as the weight and woe of sinful living drags a person to the depths of despair and depression. * The course of this world is Contrary to the path of God, going in the opposite direction like two teams on a rope playing tug of war. * The course of this world is Confining like handcuffs on a prisoner, as sinful living leaves a person bound in addiction instead of free to serve God. * The course of this world is Common and Celebrated, but its broadness is heavily populated with multitudes that are marching on the highway to Hell. Without Christ, you travel the course of this world. You are on the Highway to Hell. The consequences of unrestraint and having no self control are serious. This message begins to examine the consequences of walking the course of this world and living a life of unrestraint. This message was preached on Sunday morning February 20, 2022 at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
