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.

God's Trumpets - Part 6 - Devo for 02/14/2009

Reading
Revelation 8:1-9:21

Truth for Today
There is a sense in which the present age is man's day; he is free to do what he wants within certain limitations. It is also Satan's day, during which the "god of this age" (2 Corinthians 4:4) has been granted certain liberties within the parameters of God's purposeful, sovereign tolerance. But God will not permit the present state of affairs to continue forever. He will end man's day, overthrow the usurper Satan, destroy the present evil world system, and establish the earthly kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. That future time of judgement is known, appropriately, as the Day of the Lord. That day involves a complete renovation of the universe and the earth by judgment and restoration.

Reflecting on the Text
1. How has your view of God been altered or sharpened by this study?

2. How has your view of Satan and his evils been shaped or modified by the truths of this lesson?

3. What does a healthy fear of God look like? In what areas of your life do you fail to revere God and treat Him as holy?

1. I think I have been making better choices with my attitude and what i say and do. I also think i have gained in knowledge of revelation a lot.

2. That he can blind man and make us believe great lies and make us believe stuff that is not true, even when the answer is right in our faces.

3. If you have a healthy fear of God you do not want to disobey Him, and you usually are trying with all of your heart to please him and make the right decisions.
