#5 Paul and Lydia and a .30-06 cartridge.
Sorry, I never passed the Rorschach test.
LOL
Well done. A story of faithful companions and servants of God spreading the gospel.
Good Morning Dan, and glad day to all.
Greatly enjoy each of these; one of the most exciting miracles of the New Testament church.
Thank You Dan-
It may be that this event had a substantial role in Paul's later ability to write Romans 8:28:
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Christians who are familiar with this story, Leon, as all should be, are always expecting an earthquake to resolve things—we in California more than most, I suspect.
Paul used the amazing Roman Road network (and sometimes by sea) to travel across Israel, Syria, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. A lot of the details are included in the book of Acts in strong details. Most biblical scholars agree that Paul would have traveled over 10,000 miles – BY FOOT!
That would be equal to walking between New York and Los Angeles nearly 4x!
When you read the book of Acts you begin to realize that Pauls missionary journeys were not an easy walk. Paul gives us a small insight into his journeys in 2 Corinthians 11:25-27
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
I am humbled & in awe of such dedication and faithfulness.
Wonderful observations, John, and fully justified conclusion.
Those wondering why God picked mean, fire-breathing Saul as His chief Apostle to the Gentiles need look no further than his amply-demonstrated zealous ferocity for Yahweh. He badly needed new ownership and management, but once redirected he was everything God wanted.
Lots of good art work today.
#14 has my attention...it has a different quality
That one grabbed me also. Seems very realistic and well thought-through.
