Surviving the Storm
Nathan dropped to the ground suddenly in the middle of his first high school football practice, as parents Al and Norma watched. Through eight weeks of intensive care and many surgeries, Al and Norma Pittman faced a storm they never dreamed. Al had taught “Surviving the Storm” to his congregation, never realizing that shortly he would face the storm of his life. Power-packed and inspiring teaching that will help the reader come through any storm on the life preserver of God’s Word.

As in so many parts of life, there are two ways of dealing with trouble and tragedy. The world says “handle it yourself, stand on your own two feet”, while the Bible tells us to turn to God. Today on The Dwelling Place, our journey through the Psalms continues as we look at Psalm eighty-one. This Psalm is packed with powerful words. When you face a trial in your life, what’s your first reaction? We call ourselves “Christians”, and we love to share with others about our relationship with God, but do we really believe what we tell others? Do we really turn to God first in a time of trial?

Before a Hurricane strikes, many respond to the warning, and leave their home for a safe shelter. Others, sadly do not. Well, when the storms of life rain down on us, we also need to seek shelter. Psalm eighty-one is the subject of today's study. It’s good to know that God will never let us down, even when storms are raging, and all seems lost. Those are the times when we should turn to Him first!

In this day of do whatever you please and whatever feels good to you, people don’t like to hear about judgment. But the student of the Bible cannot escape the truth that judgment day is on the horizon. We have a merciful and loving God...there’s no debating that fact. But He’s also one day going to judge the world, and when you enter that heavenly courtroom, you definitely want Jesus on your side!

Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll begin a study in Psalm eighty, as we consider the question of why we don’t always get an immediate answer when we pray. Has that ever bothered you?

Our study through the Psalms takes us to Psalms seventy-nine and eighty today. Asaph wrote these Psalms as a lament for his nation's disobedience, and also to God’s loving kindness despite His people’s disobedience. It’s a history lesson, and at the same time, a lesson on God’s patience.

The aposlte Paul was uncomproi ising in his message - that grace is what saves us, and there is no work we can perform to obtain salvation. That message comes shinging throiugh in Acts chapter fifteen.

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.
