Ungodly Living

Pastor Martin completes the study on the relationship between the fear of God and conduct by demonstrating the negative corollary: the absence of the fear of God is the unholy soil out of which an ungodly life grows. He expounds Romans 3:18 as the capstone of Paul's indictment of universal sinfulness, then examines Psalm 10, Psalm 36, and Malachi 3 to show how the wicked must push God out of their thoughts in order to sin freely. He applies this to religious hypocrisy (Matthew 6, Matthew 23) and closes with a cultural analysis of how the devil destroys a society by undermining its theological foundations rather than attacking individual virtues.
