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 26 Mar 19, 2 Pet 2:2-3, We are blinded to real truth


2 Peter 2:2–3 (ESV) — 2 And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

NOTE: The fact that there are cults or TV evangelists who preach a wealth and health gospel is not an argument against but for Christianity. No one counterfeits 23 dollar bills, they counterfeit 20 dollar bills. People counterfeit what is true for sordid gain. There are many counterfeit religions, churches, and philosophies -- some even based on the bible, but there is only one true faith. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me." His words are the words of God -- absolute and true. We would do well to pay attention to his words above all the other things that are said in the world.

PRAYER: Father, open our eyes. Satan has blinded the mind of unbelievers (and probably believers or so-called believers too) to prevent them from understanding the truth of scripture. There is so much untruth and myth about the bible; there are even people who have labeled the bible as myth. Father, I pray that they may see their error before it is too late.
