Let's Be Like Daniel...
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. (Daniel 6:10)

Basic Belief
This site is a non-denominational site not just being Bible based but solidly Bible structured.
We believe that we are saved alone by Jesus who "came into the world to save sinners." (1 Timothy 1:15).
But we also believe that he commanded us to "go, and sin no more" (John 8:11)
This is not in our strength but Jesus is "able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 1:24).
We do believe that all of us are in ignorance to the full knowledge of God's ways, however, "the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30).
And if our hearts are ever in love with God, then we should not be guilty of Jesus' words. "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19).
To find out what we should and should not do, we believe we are to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).
Concluding there is a right way and many wrong ways to study, we use the method of "precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little" (Isaiah 28:10), which means that we pick a topic, collect all the verses and in so doing, we have God's Word and not our opinion.
And we believe that "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Notice we are to learn from the scriptures to live righteous lives.
Intead, all we here is condemnation of any such thought, despite James writing, "Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works" (James 2:18).
In short, we are not saved by works but our works show evidence we are saved for we believe "to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness" (Romans 6:16).

Isaiah 41:3 He pursued them, [and] passed safely; [even] by the way [that] he had not gone with his feet.
God moves with His Spirit. He will pursue people until they completely reject Him or completely submitted to His ways. Which are you doing? Submitting or rejecting?

Words Mean Things...

WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (64): 1 John 1:6, states clearly, “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.” Alright, it may not be clear to some. So restated to the modern wording and application, “If we say that we are saved, and continue in the darkness of sin, we are a liar and are not telling the truth because we are to do the truth.” The “we are saved” or “have fellowship with Him” is the free gift of justification. Failing “to do the truth” is the expected life of sanctification or holy living. So, are you a liar still sinning claiming to be saved, or are you telling the truth by obeying the truth?

Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Although we can never be worthy of ourselves, there is a responsibility on our part to cooperate with the “being made fit for the kingdom” process. In other words, God has given us the free invitation to the heavenly wedding that begins eternal life and is working a sanctifying power upon us to become people who can dwell with beings who never sinned, and if we resist that power to become holy people, not being pretentious, we are then unworthy or unfit. So, are you cooperating with the fitting up process to dwell with holy beings, or are you too distracted with things going on in your life to take it seriously?
