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).

Job 30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots [for] their meat.
This is a description of poverty, which Job was experiencing while covered in boils and after having lost all and even his friends turning on him. Now, instead of wallowing, do you cling to Jesus and ask what His will is to be done during a personal time of spiritual famine?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, May 31, 2026
Romans 8:1 is a test to see if you have the right version of the Bible as well as having true salvation. Does your Bible state, “[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit”, or does it simply say, “[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus”? The first is more restrictive and follows the rest of scripture where the people in Christ are revealed because they do not live according to the ways of the world enjoying those things that gratify self but rather do those things that are guided by the Spirit in godliness. The second simply goes along with popular Christianity that all it takes is that you believe but you get to enjoy sports, worldly entertainment, express foul words, even drink alcohol and put into the body other body destroying things, etc. So, are you a worldly Christian thinking that all you have to do is “be in Christ”, or are you a Christian who walks or lives as a Christian avoiding what the world is into?

Luke 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
Do you praise God for all the mighty works He has done in your life, or do you just take life for granted chalking it all up by coincidences?
