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.

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...

God Goes Into Action When This Happens 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES “When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action.” - Matthew 18:19 (MSG) That’s a powerful little proclamation, right there my brothers. It’s kinda stupefying to me that The Son of The Living God, who sports all power and all authority in heaven and on earth, said if two of us chuckleheads get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, God...
