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 27 Dec 18, 2 Cor 5:20-21, The Gospel is there, you are forgiven, you need to believe


2 Corinthians 5:20–21 (ESV) — 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

NOTE: This is our message. Jesus has taken all of our sins and nailed them to the cross. There is nothing you have done that has not been forgiven at the cross. Our job is to reconcile sinners to their savior. He wants you to become part of the family, to receive forgiveness, and a new life. There is nothing you have to do but believe. And there is no sin left but the sin of unbelief. That sin alone will send you to hell for eternity. To not believe in the only son of God is a sin because it is attested beyond any reasonable measure. To not believe is to choose hell over life, and for that choice, you will receive just what you believe. Oh world, open your eyes to our savior.

PRAYER: Lord, my world is becoming darker by the hours. The eyes of so many are blinded by sin and the deceits of Satan. They have willfully chosen not to believe. They are willfully choosing to sin against you. Have mercy. Show them your truth. Get their attention before it is too late.
