WE EXPECTED TO DIE

“I think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia.

We were crushed and completely overwhelmed, and we thought we would never live through it.

In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we learned not to rely on ourselves, but on God who can raise the dead.

And he did deliver us from mortal danger.

And we are confident that he will continue to deliver us.

He will rescue us because you are helping by praying for us.

As a result, many will give thanks to God because so many people’s prayers for our safety have been answered.”

Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:8-11

What more would I want to add to that. Powerful Stuff!!! What does this mean to you?

About the Author

Trevor

What makes me...well...me? There are a lot of things that make up the complexities of who I am. I love God, my wife, my two little girls, and all types of crazy interesting people. I love good conversation, a bit of controversy, rebellion with a cause, and hot green tea. I love to write, read, take photos, and spend time on my patio with good friends and my beautiful family. Scripture confuses, perplexes, intrigues, and floors me. It brings me hope, joy, and frustration. I work for one of the greatest churches in the country with the greatest team ever assembled. We will challenge you and your staff to a duel on the playground at 3:10 on any afternoon. This space is for us to conversate and share thoughts on life, love, creativity, and ministry. Welcome to my little nook of the web. I hope you will come in, take off your shoes and stay awhile.
