Knowing God is Loving God

September 30, 2022

As we spend time with the Lord in his Word - we are directed to passages that may have special meaning for us at the moment. Guidance for the day, comfort to get through a trial - or a glimpse into the future that we are promised. Psalm seventy-nine speaks extensively about all the benefits of knowing God and knowing and following His precepts.

Are you a history buff? There are a lot of them around. Apparently Asaph was a history buff as well, because in Psalm seventy-eight, he gives us a review of the history of Israel. He does this to point out just how patient and loving God is toward man, despite our history of disobedience.

What defines an authentic Christian? Well, tools are important, knowing how to use them is important, and our promise of eternal life is a kind of diploma. When you find yourself in times of trouble, do you remember to seek the Lord’s guidance? Is it the first thing you think to do? That’s a real mark of an authentic Christian. Our scripture text for today’s program is Psalm seventy-eight.

Pastor Al begins a study today in Psalm seventy-eight. It’s a Psalm of Asaph that expresses frustration with God’s people, as they continually show an inability to trust God, despite the evidence before them. Obviously, this is a message that is very relevant today. We see it all around us - the obvious evidence of God’s presence, and the obvious rejection of that evidence.

Consistency and reliability are qualities we look for in our leaders. It isn’t always easy to find - especially in Washington D.C., because the people who tell us they’re trustworthy often are lying when they tell us! Well, one thing we can rely on to always tell the truth is the bible, and we can always rely on God to be there when we need Him.

If you enjoy building things, you know that following a set of instructions in the correct order is essential to success. If you perform “step A” before “step B”, you are likely to mess things up. The bible is our instruction manual for a happy and blessed life. Are you following the instructions carefully?

Today we’ll seek to cover another Psalm of Asaph, Psalm seventy six. Battles and wars are on everyone’s minds these day, what with our continuing efforts to eradicate terrorism. I’m sure you’ve seen the footage of our incredible weaponry at work. If you lined up every weapon we’ve ever used in every war, they wouldn’t come close to matching the power of God.

Pastor Al Pittman is taking us through the Psalms, and today we are going to finish our look at Psalm seventy-five, and begin a look at Psalm seventy-six. These Psalms of Asaph are Psalms of praise to God for delivering His people from trouble, and holding their enemies accountable.

With all the uncertainty of the times we live in, has there ever been a more important time than now for people to come to Jesus Christ? One thing is for certain as we make our way through life, we will face times of testing, and the unsaved around us will be watching to see how we react.

Today we stop at Psalm seventy-four. This Psalm of Asaph provides a good backdrop to a look at what the world really needs more than anything else. What the world needs to solve her problems is a sharp turn away from destruction and toward God.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
