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...
Monday, May 18, 2026
Job 29:19 My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
To have an elaborate root system that reaches to all sources of water is to be strong giving good health to the body or tree so much so that the branches are sturdy and able to capture the dew and hold on to it being symbolic of the Spirit of God (Hosea 14:5). So, are you as sturdy as a strong tree well rooted in Christ, or are you like sapling that can be blown over? Do you capture the presence of God, or do you miss it because of all the worldly distractions?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, May 19, 2026
According to Romans 6:6, sin should be destroyed from us, and we no longer do it. “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Remember, “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). So, if you are not sinning, then that means you are keeping the Ten Commandments. If you are sinning, which is to serve sin, you are breaking them. There are no other options. To say they are done away with means that both of these verses need removed from the Bible. So, are you indifferent to the Ten Commandments nullifying these verses, or have you gained the victory through Jesus Christ and no longer allowing sin to be part of your life?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
So, Jesus led His disciples up to the old Jerusalem where He would complete the first mission of being our Passover Lamb. Today, Jesus is leading His disciples to the New Jerusalem to complete the second mission of gathering us at the second coming. Now, are you being led of Jesus to the New Jerusalem, or does the world have your attention instead?
