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 2 May 18, Matt 10:28, We need to create a new definition of Christian based on Jesus and not based on the distorted worldview of today

Matt 10:26-33

Matthew 10:28 (ESV) — And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Why do we fear the world? Why are we so worried that someone might think we are a Christian? No one would probably say that, but isn't it true. We don't stand up for Christ because don't want to be identified with believers, or at least certain believers. Well maybe we should create a new definition of a Christian for our friends by standing up, identifying, and living a life worthy of Jesus Christ.
Father, give me the courage and boldness to share my faith and to identify with you. Help me to live such a godly and loving life that other's view of what a Christian is would change. Help me to be the witness that I should be.
