What Does Acts 14:7 Mean?
This brief sentence closes the escape from Iconium. The address has changed; the assignment has not. In Lystra, Derbe, and the villages of Lycaonia, the preaching simply continues.
There is quiet steel in the shortest verse of the chapter. Plots, flight, and unfamiliar country do not alter the work, because the work was never tied to comfortable circumstances. The good news of Jesus travels with his messengers and is at home anywhere. Whatever drives a believer out of one place sets him down in another where someone has yet to hear.
