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).

Morning Thought...
Sunday, May 3, 2026
Job 29:6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
Job warned us that he would be talking in a parable. This is symbolic phrase referring to great wealth. Us regular folk would use mere water, but not Job with his wealth, though he probably never literally did that. And the same with abundance of oil. Now, though you have means or not, how strong of a connection do you have with God?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, May 3, 2026
In Acts 27, we have the story of the shipwreck that Paul suffered along with all those in the boat. He had warned them not to continue traveling (Acts 27:10), but they chose the wisdom of the master and owner of the ship instead (Acts 27:11). When the predicted incident happened, Paul did not hesitate to point out what trusting in the so-called experts resulted in as opposed to God’s way (Acts 27:21). Now, when you know the way of God, do you choose to do it God’s way or according to the so-called experts? Keep in mind, “the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
What is your attitude towards Jesus when He asks, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15)? Is it declaring that Jesus has no rules, or do you submit being ruled by Jesus?
