Does God Hate Anyone? (5 of 7)
Series: In Awe of God

Psalm 139:19-24
A young lady and a pastor's daughter when off to a state school here in Texas and the very first person she met said, ''There is no God. There has never been any God. If there is a God, I am he.'' This same young lady when to her first class where her professor announced: ''I want to serve notice on you right away that the idea of God is obsolete.'' God is so important that an atheist college professor feels the need to introduce the class by denying God's existence.
The quality of your life will be determined by how well you know God. Not information about God, but really know God. Why is knowing God so important? Think with me for a moment: Our nation's Declaration of Independence contains at least four references to God. The first step in AA's twelve steps program instructs you to submit to God. You cannot beat an addiction without knowing God and you cannot even form a nation without Him.
How important is it to know God? Knowing God is oxygen to your lungs. Knowing God is water to the soil. The quality of your life will be determined by how well you know God. The true beginning point in knowing God is entering into a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.

And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? 22 I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!'' (Psalm 139:1-24)
Our focus this morning is in Psalm 139: 19-24 and with this question, ''Does God Hate Anyone?'' You'll notice there's a wish in verses 19-20, a commitment in verses 21-22, and a plea in verses 2 ...
