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)).

John 5:18-29
John 5:28–29 (ESV) — 28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
When Jesus descended into Hades and preached, he brought the dead out, and took them to heaven. But they were not give their new bodies. That will not occur to the resurrection of the dead that seems to occur in phases. Jesus was the first. The rapture will be the second phase, church believers (alive and dead), and the third phase occurs after the tribulation OT believers and tribulation saints. A later resurrection will be the final great throne judgment when unbelievers are resurrected.
By believing in Christ, death has no hold on him. The last enemy to be put to death was death. By Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection, death has lost its sting. Someday, we will have new material bodies and live in a new heaven and earth, no polluted by sin. We will live forever and we will enjoy creation as God intended.
Thank you Lord for the provision of life. Thank you for salvation. Thank you for putting to death, death. Thank you!
