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 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;
This is the opening of a series of verses specifically about Christ, but now, today, in the form of true Christians, Christ’s representatives, we are to carry on the same work. So, are you actively preaching good tidings, binding up those with broken hearts where life has beaten them up especially by bad choices, sharing the liberation from being held captive in sin, and opening up the way of righteousness for those that are in Satan’s prison?

Words Mean Things...

WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (430): 2 Corinthians 12:20-21 states, “For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: [And] lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.” The fact that Paul expected repentance means that if Christians do not repent of similar or even other sins, which is not only sorrow for doing it but a following up thereafter with not doing it again, the consequence would be a lost state, even if we claim to be saved. Being saved by the blood of Jesus does not permit sinning in our lives (Romans 3:31, Romans 6:2, Romans 6:15, and many more). If we do not confess all of our known sins, we are not cleansed “from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Without that cleansing, without being made holy, we shall not see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). So, have you repented of all of your sins?

Mark 3:23 And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Although some may argue that it was an act, a fake casting out, the way Jesus stated it meant that His casting out of demons was no act of demons pretending to be cast out. They were indeed cast out and with authority. So, do you think Jesus was an imposter working for Satan, or since there are only two sides, do you see Jesus with all authority of Heaven having the ability to really cast out Satan and his demonic assistants?
