Acts: The Spread of the Gospel

This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!

This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!

The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.

Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

Joseph: 17-30 - Let's Meet Poor, Pitiful Mrs. Potiphar - Devo for 10/03/08

Reading
Genesis 39:6-23

Questions
6. Mrs. Potiphar had a lying tongue! She could not be trusted! It seems as if no one truly believed her. If the chief executioner's wife had truly experienced attempted rape, Joseph would have lost his head. Instead, he was put in prison, and given leadership opportunity even there.

From Proverbs 12:22, what does God think about lying?

7. Mrs. Potiphar is forgotten! Some people leave such an impression due to their faith they are not easily forgotten. Others, due to their sinfulness, leave no such impression.

a. What will be remembered about you after you leave your school?
b. What will be remembered about you when you die?

Let's learn from Joseph and not from Mrs. Potiphar.
