Do you know what Antioch’s famous for? It comes up in this week’s walk through the Book of Acts. So does a lot of other stuff.
Like El Diablo’s MASSIVE self-own when he decided to pick a fight with some Christians only to give himself a headache **this** big. Antioch stepped up to demonstrate how Christian compassion in a difficult situation in the first century is a whole different animal than the example set by today’s churchianity. A lesson or two to be learned by their example, mayhap?
When the Enemy knocked out Stephen, the first Martyr in a way that would have been to them very much a Charlie Kirk moment, they didn’t curl up and wet their big Christian diapers. They lived into the new life they had laid hold of.
And flipped the planet on its head in the process.
This week, we track the trajectory of God getting the last laugh long after the Devil must have figured he had scored a big win.
If you’re paying attention, you’ll see this theme running through all of scripture. Better yet, for those who dare to take him at his word, it’s still a pattern that continues through to the current day.
The PERFECT Gift For The Art Loving Warrior
Dear Fellow Warriors: My new book just dropped, GILES VOL. I: The Biblical Warrior Collection. It’s a full color coffee table compilation of my biblical paintings over the last 20yrs. As you know, I don’t depict the biblical men in this book as sweet bearded women but rough troublemakers who shook all of hell’s habitations. It’s a great gift for the male and female scrappy warriors on your Christmas list. Young kids will love it too. 70+ original paintings. 234 pages with the scriptural inspiration behind each painting. It’s a beautiful book.
RECOMMENDATIONS. “One reason I buy Doug’s priceless art is to make bold statements on the walls of my home. Lively discussions come alive to bring home the Gospel messages behind the brushstrokes gifted to Mr. Giles. Pastor Doug’s creativity in canvassing the Biblical perspective is daring and courageous.”
– Captain Robert Reinecker
