Today's reading: Numbers 26:23-43

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
Acts 14:21-23

Thoughts on the Book of Acts (118)
Many who heard Paul's and Barnabas' preaching in Derbe found faith in Christ. There was not the violent opposition here that they had experienced on their first missionary journey. Derbe was the turning-point of this journey.
That the missionaries did not take the nearest way to the coast, but defying the enemies encountered on their outward journey, took the same route back, having the well-being of the newly converted at heart. They strengthened the disciples following the Lord, so that they did not lose courage through the difficulties that a Christian has to endure.
The individual disciples were not left to themselves. They gathered together as the "church" or "assembly". Paul and Barnabas used their authority as apostles to appoint elders who should oversee the local churches. The qualifications for this office are laid down elsewhere (cf. .
The missionaries went on their way, but they commended the disciples in prayer to the Lord, who loved them and would keep them.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I
