Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 11 Jul 17, John 17:17, Truth sanctifies

John 17:17 (ESV) — 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

NOTE: Sanctification sets us apart for God's use. It also is the process by which we become more like Jesus Christ. Truth is what changes us, which is why the word of God is so essential and the concept of absolute truth is 'foundational.' If truth is relative, it cannot change us because it would cease to exist as truth. For truth to change us, it must 'foundationally' change who we are and what we think. Truth cannot be true in one case and not true in another  case or later on. Truth is our bedrock. It is based on God himself, as he has revealed His truth to us in the bible. Consequently, it is absolutely essential that we wash our mind in the truth of God's word. It is the only way to transform our thinking from the world's deceitful ways. Every day, we need to be in God's word.
