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 11, 2026
Job 29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
It is better understood that when Job was before a dying man, that person blessed Job. Job also encouraged the heart of the widow to become joyful. Now, are you able to speaking encouraging words in such situations, or do you keep your distance and let the sufferers to suffer without a word of encouragement?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, May 11, 2026
Romans 7 is a difficult chapter to understand. This is where Peter says of Paul, “also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction” (2 Peter 3:16). Many conclude that the Ten Commandments are done away with or that as long as they are thinking right, it does not matter that the body physically participates in sin. Listening to the words of Jesus should supersede Paul’s words: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil” (Matthew 5:17). Even Paul states, “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law” (Romans 3:31). Even in Romans 7, he wrote, “the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (verse 12) and “What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet” (Romans 7:7). Only an unstable Christian would think we can now murder, steal, lie, disrespect parents, have other gods before God, etc. But if we think keeping the law without Christ is possible, Romans 7 tells us it is not possible. That is all Romans 7 is about and not trying to get rid of God’s moral law. So, are you a moral Christian, or are you a Christian that thinks nothing of the consequence about lying, cheating, and stealing?

Evening Thought...
Monday, May 11, 2026
Luke 19:21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
We are to fear God since the last day message tells us, “Fear God, and give glory to him…”. The fear the servant had was the wrong type fear. We are not to be scared of God or what He can do, but we are to respect God through a proper response: “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). So, do you respect God enough to obey Him, or do you disrespect God living in disobedience?
