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.

Destruction and Devastation! - Part 2 - Devo for 04/07/2009

Reading
Revelation 17:1-18:24

Keys to the Text
Babylon: In the book of Revelation this name refers to the entire worldwide political, economic, and religious kingdom of Antichrist (see Revelation 16:17-19 for details of its fall), not to a real city in John's time. The original city of Babylon was the birthplace of idolatry where the residents built the tower of Babel, a monument to rebelliousness and false religion. Such idolatry was subsequently spread when God confounded humanity's language and scattered them around the world (see Genesis 11:1-9). This passage pictures Babylon causing the world to become intoxicated with her pleasures and enter with excessive indulgence into rebellion, hatred, and idolatry toward God. "Fornication" means spiritual prostitution to the Antichrist's false system.

1. What are some towers of idolatry in your life?

2. How has God had to work in your life to get rid of these things?

2. Well, it's still in the process but it has taken a lot of working in my heart and changing my way of thinking.
