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 30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride [upon it], and dissolvest my substance.
Job has been describing how he thinks God has been treating him in the form of punishment, so to be lifted up by the wind is not an enjoyable flight through the sky. Wind or winds can be representative of strife and war in the Bible, which is what Job experienced. The conclusion being a negative impact of the ride reveals that we are on target in understanding that this is not a good thing. Now, when you experience strife and wrestling in your life, do you blame God or do you reach out to Him for relief and if not relief, for strength to make it through?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, June 21, 2026
All of us preach the gospel in one form or another. If a person is known to be a Christian, those who are not Christian will be watching. They watch to learn how a Christian is to live, but more often, they watch to see if the Christian is a hypocrite by claiming to be a Christian while living like the world or making excuses why sin still reigns (Romans 6:12). This makes Christianity weak and foolish in their eyes and discourages them from wanting to become a Christian. Paul wrote, “But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” (1 Corinthians 9:27). Now, do you make your body subject to the way of Christ seeing He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), or do you tell people that Christians are not perfect and a life of sinning without victory is the way? One is the power of the gospel (1 Thessalonians 1:5) and the other is a powerless gospel.

Luke 20:8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Jesus knew that His authority was from Heaven as well as John’s, but if they would not show him the courtesy of answering the question, He refused to answer them then. But to you, do you accept Jesus’ and John the Baptist’s authority as coming from Heaven?
