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 6 Jun 18, 2 Cor 13:5, A changed life does not save us, but a changed life is evidence that God has saved us

2 Cor 13:1-10

2 Corinthians 13:5 (ESV) — Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
What is the test? Does Jesus Christ reside in your heart? Have you put your faith wholly in Jesus for salvation? How can you know? Were you genuinely repentant for your sins? If not, then your motivation for salvation may have been wrong and you have not truly been born-again in the Spirit. Have you ever experienced the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ? Have you ever experienced the peace of God, which transcends understanding? If you cannot answer those questions yes, then you have failed the test and are not in the faith. You may call yourself a Christian, but you are not a Christian in God's book, which is the only one that counts.
Father, thank you that I continue to experience your life-changing work in my own life. It is a testimony to me of my salvation. It encourages me to know that I am secure in Jesu. Thank you Lord.
