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)

Random King James Bible Verse...
Judges 19:22 [Now] as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, [and] beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.

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).

Morning Thought...
Tuesday, September 28, 2021
Isaiah 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
John penned, “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16:13-14). So, the devil, antichrist, and the false prophet all participate in the last days of gathering together people to fight against Jesus, first and foremost, but Jesus’ followers as well (Revelation 13:15). Now, are you going along with the hatred towards those exercising religious freedom, especially those not participating in the “world’s solution” against the “world’s illness”? If so, you are being gathered to the wrong side. Thank God it is not too late to change sides, but you may want to do so quickly as time is running out.

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, September 28, 2021
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (335): 2 Thessalonians 3:5 again is glossed over by most Christians. “And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” And many Christians think they have “the love of God” when they “cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24). Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37). To love with all of the mind means that we would not even think of a little sinning. With all the soul, we would not even allow sin in our life for sinning is not ALL but an attempt at both God and mammon. Then Jesus plainly states, “On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:40). Therefore, if one truly loves God, they will have no other gods before God including pastors, parents, friends, even ourselves in place of God’s ways through His Word, as many try to dismiss His commands. We will not have idols in our lives including watching celebrities perform on TV, movies, singing, and whatever else, or be chasing after wealth, etc. It means we would wear the name Christian properly and not act like the world. And, we will keep the Sabbath day, not just an hour at church, holy. All day we would cease from our secular labors and activities. So now, do you really love God, which is living a holy life?

Evening Thought...

Matthew 27:59-60 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Joseph was willing to give up his expensive and newly cut out tomb to Jesus. What are you willing to give to Jesus? Is it the same as Paul? “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20).
