This map, by placing the Mediterranean area inside the US, gives us a helpful perspective on the extent of Paul’s travels, as well as the size of the Roman Empire.
On his second missionary journey, for instance, Paul traveled the equivalent of going from South Carolina, up through Ohio and Indiana, across to Iowa and down into Missouri, then back to the Carolinas.
And, with a twist no one saw coming, all roads now lead to Nebraska!
As we read about Paul's travels in Bible in One Year, keep this map -- and the perspective it gives -- in mind.
@gregstier Great post! I did my capstone project for my masters degree on this topic. I love the blessing of Asher ”…as your days, so shall your strength be.“ Deut 33:25b. I want to serve God for my whole life and not fizzle out due to lack of maintenance.
The ancients stared at the stars most nights. We stare at screens most nights.
Stars make the world feel huge. They remind us we are tiny.
Screens often make the world feel small. They make us feel connected to everything.
I wonder how much this contributes to our anxiety.
@YouVersion our church is looking for a Bible reading plan that blends OT & NT readings through the year but is chronological for both. Hoping you can add one. Thank you!
@jasoncseville@pastorjgkell@YouVersion needs some chronological plans that don’t have the 3/5 of the year in the Old Testament problem. This one looks great
What if earth be the shadow of heaven? - Milton
There are rumors of a another world, one standing near us in its proximity but oh so far from us in its perfection. Yet these two shall be one.
The artists know & remind us. The tiniest sparrow too, if we pause to hear her song.
When I interviewed coach Bobby Bowden a couple of years ago, he told me, “Son, I’ve been on top of that mountain and there ain’t nothing there.” Those words have never left me.
