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)

Random King James Bible Verse...
Joshua 10:39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.

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 29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him.
Job reached out to the poor and the fatherless and others who needed help. Keep in mind, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27). So, what do you do towards the truly needy?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, May 10, 2026
When a person reads Romans 3:10-31, they should realize that there is nothing good in us and that it all comes from God. Anyone that lives in obedience, even in keeping the Ten Commandments, is not legalism, but it is God working through us. Anyone going through the motion of obedience and law keeping thinking they deserve Heaven is out of selfishness and really are not keeping the commandments, which is then legalism. Outright disobedience and law breaking is a person that is unconverted despite claiming to be saved. They do not know Who God really is nor His ways. Now, do you allow God to shine His righteousness through you in good works including commandment keeping, or do you resist being too good here on earth not wanting do lose friends, family, or even employment but still think you are going to Heaven?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Just what did this servant do while the money was hidden in a napkin? He probably enjoyed life like most Christians do, setting aside their God given abilities and talents. So, are you one of the typical Christians that wastes away God’s blessings, or do you see your responsibility and look for ways to spiritually invest for Heaven’s sake?
