Why do bad things happen to good people? part 2

May 22, 2020

As we look around the world today, we see chaos, anger, mis-information galore, and a significant number of deaths due to COVID-19.  As we see this, it would be easy for us to scratch our head in confusion, and wonder why.  The Psalmist Asaph went through this struggle, as we’re about to see, and it’s interesting to notice his conclusions.

On today’s program, we’re going to take another look at Psalm seventy-two. As we mentioned last time, this Psalm was written by King Solomon, the son of King David. As Solomon struggled to lead Israel in a Godly way, he realized that his leadership skills were not enough - He needed God’s help. That’s also true for you and me, as we struggle to get through the pandemic.

We are continuing a series in the Psalms on today’s broadcast, as we look at Psalm seventy-two. In the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s good to be reminded of what life in Christ really means. Psalm seventy-two is one of only a couple of the Psalms written by King David’s son, Solomon. It’s a beautiful testimony of God’s power and love.

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.
