My thoughts and devotions

Family Devotion
devotion · These were the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad and Asher. ~ 1 Chronicles 2:1-2 -
Hard Pressed but not Crushed
devotion · We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.~ 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 -
Wednesday of Holy Week
devotion · This is the week that we remember the last week of Jesus’ life. Wednesday. N.T Wright once wrote, “When Jesus wanted to explain to his disciples what his forthcoming death was all about, he didn’t give them a theory, he gave them a meal.” -
Thoughts on Easter
devotion · For me Easter is a time to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus. The profoundness of this event is inescapable and overwhelming. At Christmas we acknowledge that Jesus was God with us. Emmanuel. God becomes a man. A baby born in Bethlehem. At Easter we see Jesus, this “God-man” entering into the godforsaken situation of all of humanity. -
A Word on Humility
devotion · Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. ~Galatians 6:2-5
