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 29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
Job told the blind what they needed to see, and to the lame, Job walked to get what they needed. So, just how helpful are you towards those who have restricted abilities? Do you just walk around such people, or do you stop and offer help?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, May 13, 2026
“All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24). Keep in mind, “For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified” (Romans 2:13). So, how can grace be free yet have to keep the law or Ten Commandments? Law keeping is simply the expectation of every human being and even the angels, from Adam and Eve to the present day. Now, everyone has broken the law of God, but God is willing to give grace, not to continue in breaking the law, but rather to wipe from our records the occurrence of having done so (Jude 1:24). Now, if God just gave out grace to those who are careless with obedience or disobedience, He would be condoning sinning. That is why only those who actually do His commandments receive grace for when they slipped up and did not. So, do you still think commandment keepers are legalists trying to earn Heaven, or do you see that God is trying to maintain proper relationships between one another and Himself and expects people to simply live according to His commandments to accomplish it giving grace to the sincere and repentant?

Luke 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Basically, in the parable, the least amount of effort would have accounted for something. In a practical sense, the least amount of effort in spreading the gospel would be to have someone say that they are going to offer prayers, of which, maybe they will and maybe the will not, and possibly throw a few dollars towards the effort. At least that would be something, but if we really are a Christian, we would give more than minimal effort. So, just how much effort do you give to spreading the gospel?
