Acts 17:29 - Acts 18:4 ~ Intro to Corinth

Acts 17:29-18:4 ~ Intro to Corinth

Posted on December 30, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

For the first time in a LONG time, Paul left a city because he felt like it, not because he was being chased out (although we are left to wonder whether that meeting with the Areopagus Council wasn’t the catalyst to his decision to move on). Not many people in Athens were receptive to Paul’s gospel, though some wanted to hear from him again.

Luke is careful to mention two people by name who chose to join *The Way*: Dionysus the Areopagite (a member of the Areopagus Council) and a woman named Demaris. We don’t know anything about her other than her name. I wish we knew more.

Paul soon left Athens and headed 50 miles southwest to the thriving metropolis of Corinth. We spent the bulk of time today on the historical background and geographical significance of Corinth. #bucketlist

Posted @withregram • @nativelandnet #YouAreOnNativeLand Powerful image. Posted @withregram • @susandavid_phd We all have those days (or weeks) when everything just feels wrong. So true. I love the Lab because the members are amazing humans who are changing the world! Posted @withregram • @harriet_lerner “Abortion is a sensitive issue for a lot of people. There are strong feelings about what others should and shouldn't do, what's "reasonable" or too far in terms of laws. But we're not talking about feelings. This is about sending doctors to prison, about the government forcing people to submit to pregnancy and childbirth against their will.” Image says, “ Forgo the Empire. Build yourself a blanket fort. Confidence. A life.” Posted @withregram • @melaninmajority Celebrate your freedom & privileges each & every day. Happy Juneteenth! ♥️💚🖤💪🏾 In honor of Juneteenth, I'd like to recommend a new book to those who are interested in the history of the United States and also offer an entry point for understanding why critical race theory is important to healing our country.⁣
