What Happens When Young Idiots Mock Godly Leaders?


What Happens When Young Idiots Mock Godly Leaders?

1 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES

The Elisha & The Bears oil painting shows what happened to young folks who mocked a godly leader.

"Then Elisha went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number."
- 2 Kings 2:23-24

Yikes, eh? This painting serves as a great reminder for mouthy GenZers who're currently defying God and His people. Someone should airdrop thousands of these prints on every college campus! This piece will be featured in my forthcoming, full color, coffee table book, featuring my Biblical Badass Collection. Publish date is Christmas 2024. The original is currently available.

Take up the full armor of God. 2. Resist on the evil day. 3. Do everything necessary. 4. Stand firm. Now, if what I just read is true, then the half-ass,...

When Demons Try To Get You Down...Do This 1 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES “Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees.” - 2 Corinthians 12:7 (MSG) As stated profusely throughout scripture, Satan is no fan of the on-fire believer (1Pet 5:8,9; Eph 6:10-20). The apostle Paul soared to heights in God that would give most Christians a violent nosebleed. Yep, Paul knew the Lord on a much higher level than your typical groovy youth pastor. With that high level of...
