King Solomon was used of God to pen a book of wise proverbs to help govern the life of believers. One of these proverbs (4:23) says, “Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” In this brief study, we examine a passage in Paul’s letter to the Colossians which provides three principles to help us guard our hearts (Col. 3:15-17).
These Bible messages entitled “Guard Your Hearts” were preached by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2021 during the morning worship services at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

In Potiphar's House
Joseph is purchased as a slave by Potiphar, the head of the Pharaoh's bodyguards. The Lord is with Joseph and blesses all he does. Potiphar makes Joseph the steward of his household, trusting him completely. But, Potiphar's wife desires this handsome young man and repeatedly tempts him. Joseph resists her advances, but when she makes false charges against Joseph, he is unjustly condemned.
From Series: "Joseph - A Life of Integrity"
The life of Joseph, the favored son of the the patriarch Jacob, provides a wonderful example of a life on integrity. Though his life was filled with trials, hardships, and injustices, he trusted in God no matter what his circumstances. He maintained his integrity, living a life that was faithful, honest, and morally upright, so that God could carry out His purpose in Joseph's life.
