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...

Job 29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Job was used to even nobles respecting him. Now, there is one Noble above all nobles, and do you respect Him, or do you try to make Him to be as a best buddy, even joining in with pleasures of this world, etc.?

Words Mean Things...
Thursday, May 7, 2026
According to Romans 1:18, “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.” If a Christian is practicing any level of ungodliness, from a little uncontrolled anger all the way to murder, where, with God considers it is all ungodliness, does that not mean such a Christian is not eternally saved after all? Further, does that not mean there is more than just words of belief that makes us a Christian? Does not “the Son of man” “come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works” (Matthew 16:27)? So, are you recognizing that if we continue to sin by choice, our works reveal we are not saved despite how much we profess to be a Christian, or do you dismiss the rest of God’s Word to hold to the belief that you are saved no matter what?

Evening Thought...
Thursday, May 7, 2026
Luke 19:18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Both servants started with the same amount. One turned it to ten pounds while the other only five. Both are complemented on their work teaching us that it is not the amount of the results but the giving of all of our effort. An evangelist may bring people to Christ by the hundreds, while a pastor by just a handful, and a person who sits in the pew by one or two. It does not matter about the number as it is the amount of effort given in the service of God. So, in addition to employment and taking care of ordinary things in life, which is still work for God if done godly, how much effort are you giving in seeking to do what God would have you do?
