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 33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
Are you thankful to have the opportunity to receive Christ’s righteousness as “our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6)? Now, “let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous” (1 John 3:7). In other words, our righteousness does not save us but without living a righteous life, we shall be lost. Christ righteousness does not cover unrepentant sins.

Words Mean Things...

Hebrews 5:13-14 says, “For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” How to know that a person is on the milk instead of meat is by the use of “catch verses” like catch phrases only that they use verses instead. One example is that of saying, “I’m saved by grace and not the law!” as if that allows a person to be carelessly sinning without consequence. That goes along with saying, “I’m already saved” as if the rest of the Bible does not matter. Meat eaters of the word will realize that “shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid” (Romans 6:15). And about already being saved actually means that Jesus has provided the saving part, but the choices we make determine if we receive that gift of being saved. “He that endureth to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 10:22). Choosing to allow sin is not enduring, and as a consequence, “in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” (Titus 1:16). In other words, our works of sinning reject Jesus’ salvation. So, are you a catch phrase Christian on the milk, or a meat eating Christian that “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)?

Luke 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
And such is practiced today as well. It is said that if the billionaires were really sympathetic to the poor, they could grant each person in the United States a million dollars each and still retain billionaire status, but they will not because of lording over people. Now, it does not take a billion dollars to lord over others. It can be anything held over another. Are you careful not to be like these Gentiles, or do you have lordship tendencies yourself?
