Reading
Genesis 38:1-30
Questions
1. This will blow your mind, but Judah was probably around 14 years old when his first son, Er, was born, around 28 when his grandson, Perez, was born and about 43 when his great-grandson, Hezron, was born. Even as a 14-year-old, rather than please God by keeping separate from unbelievers, he wanted to be liked and accepted by the people he lived around regardless of what they believed or how they lived. According to Genesis 38:1, 12, and 20, who was Judah's best friend from the city of Adullam?
2. From what you read in verse 20, did Hirah try to keep Judah from sinning or become a part of the attempted cover-up of the sin?
3. What two qualifications of friends are mentioned in Psalm 119:63?
4. Would you say your best friends fear God and try to obey God's Word?
5. Do your best friends help you sin or help you stay away from sin?
6. In what ways can a friend help you stay away from sin?
7. What do Proverbs 13:20 and 1 Corinthians 15:33 say about companions?
