Five Warrior Traits Part 2

April 25, 2023

Today we’ll continue pastor Al’s series through Joshua, and the topic today will be complacency. That’s a very dangerous word. There’s no doubt that complacency played a role in the terror attacks in 2001. That’s an extreme example, but complacency in the Christian life can be dangerous as well. Turn to the book of Joshua as we join pastor Al Pittman for today’s study

Today, Pastor Al takes us back to the Old Testament book of Joshua.  In chapters fifteen through twenty, we see, among other things, a complaint from the Israelites and Joshua’s reply.  The Canaanites were an enemy of Israel, and Joshua urged his people to drive them out of the land.  Pastor Al will show us how the Canaanites are much like sin.  Sin is our enemy and it must be driven out of our lives.

Today we’ll return to pastor Al’s verse by verse study through Acts, with a stop in chapter twenty two. With all the “Judge” shows on TV and all of the high profile criminal trials we see going on, we’re made aware of the importance of a good defense. Here in Acts twenty two, Paul puts on an eloquent defense of his ministry and beliefs, even though he doesn’t have a law degree!

Following God’s will is a tough thing, isn’t it? In the first place, we often times don’t know what God’s will is. Then, we wonder what God must be thinking if He really thinks I can do what He wants me to do! Here in Joshua fifteen, we again are reminded that God’s will is the best way to go – and seeking it is what we should always be doing.

 I’m sure last Christmas reminded you that the holiday season has turned rather commercial in recent decades. It’s become a contest to see who can buy the biggest gift and spend the most money, and if Aunt Martha bought us something this year, we better make sure we get her something too. Possessions seem to be possessing us these days. What can we do?

We do have much to be thankful for, don’t we? The most important thing we need to be thankful for today is our salvation, through Jesus Christ. We all know where we’d be without that wonderful free gift! That gift is designed to fit everyone, even the most intelligent, the most talented and the most rugged! This was a consistent theme in the Apostle Paul’s ministry to Jews and gentiles alike.

God often will give us a huge task, but also provides the solution. That is specifically what he does for Joshua in overcoming the evil Kings of his day. He doesn’t give elaborate plans but simply gives Joshua the strength and fortitude to get the job done.

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.
