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...
Saturday, June 6, 2026
Job 30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
What a horrible treatment towards Job that these people did, even if it was spiritually speaking or maybe it was physical. Nonetheless, do you have sympathy towards those that suffer in one form or another gathering all of the facts before casting judgment, or do you see poor souls and kick them while they are down, even in a spiritual manner, by ignoring them or joining the criticizers?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, June 7, 2026
The beginning of Romans 13:8 starts with “Owe no man any thing”. That is because when a person owes someone, they have a bit of control over that person, especially in the fear that if they cannot pay it back, they could end up losing it. So, do you avoid going into debt as much as possible, even like avoiding the plague, or do you grab for things you cannot afford, even promise of time and other non-monetary ways of going into debt without consideration that they now own you?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
This has a dual fulfillment. It happened in 70 A.D. when Jerusalem was surrounded by the Roman army. It is in the process of happening again as they shove people into cities and suburbs to make it easier to surround people when the time comes. It does not mean everyone will succumb, but they are certainly making it difficult to fight the tide. Things like 15-minute cities is just an example, but over the decades, city population has steadily increased while country and farm living has steadily decreased as each generation has been herded into or near the cities through various inducements. Now, if you are in the city or suburbs, are you looking to get out into a more secluded area as God provides, or are you content in the flow of eventually being controlled?
