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 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
Now, Job did not push away the fatherless in need, but do you avoid helping those who are in a difficult situation, especially after the loss of their father, or do you provide assistance where you can to the fatherless remembering “The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow” (Psalms 146:9) by the human hand?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, July 21, 2026
According to Galatians 2:16-17, we are not justified by keeping the commandments, however, we are not encouraged to be breaking them either. “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.” It is expected that every child of God keep the commandments, but “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We cannot point to all the commandment keeping that we have done to make up for that “oops” moment. We continue to keep the commandments and ask for grace, the blood of Jesus, and He will freely provide it, and wipe our sin off the books of Heaven. That is how it works. So, do you believe the grace of Jesus Christ permits breaking the Ten Commandments, or do you see the proper relationship between the law and grace where we still keep the law but do not rely upon it to save us for only the blood of Jesus does?

Evening Thought...

Luke 20:41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
If David spoke with Christ in the Old Testament as being Lord, as Jesus will confirm in the next verse, how is it that Christ can them become a descendent of David? That is because Christ is not only God but also took on human form. As it told to us of Christ, “a body hast thou prepared me” (Hebrews 10:5). So, the human form was a descendent of David but Christ being Lord was not in David’s lineage. Now, do you accept that Jesus was “Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23)?
