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 7 Jun 18, 1 Jn 2:22, The Babylonian worldview is essentially atheistic, man is god and man is supreme

1 John 2:22 (ESV) — Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
This is an interesting insight into the antichrist. He will deny that Jesus is the Christ. He will deny God the Father. He will deny the existence of the Holy Spirit. He will probably be an atheist since it seems that the main doctrine of atheism is that "we create our own future." In other words, we are own gods.
Father, forgive us. We claim a superficial belief in God but then live lives characterized by atheistic beliefs. We make ourselves to be God in your place. We live for ourselves. We worship our creations. We glory in our activities and even in our sin. Forgive us, for we are so blind and stupid.
