The Purity of a Family
This Sunday we pick up Joseph’s story down in Egypt, where he has been living as a slave in the home of Potiphar. Genesis 39 teaches us that moral integrity requires decisive action, as Joseph flees temptation rather than compromising his character. It also reveals that doing what is right does not prevent unjust suffering, and that God’s presence remains constant even when circumstances take a turn for the worse. As popular culture becomes increasingly permissive of all kinds of wickedness—sexual immorality in particular—the Lord’s people today must fix their eyes on the true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy things of God’s Kingdom. Maranatha!
