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 28:24-25 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, [and] seeth under the whole heaven; To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
God is precise in all the details. Everything has the appointed weights including the wind and the water. Neither are too heavy or too light wasting the purpose of each. Now, are you careful with all that has been entrusted to you, or are you wasteful in time, money, and other things?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Paul and Silas’ jailer asked, “What must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:30). “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31). And a lot of ministers stop right there; however, it is not until verse 33 that the jailer and family were baptized. Most ministers miss verse 32: “And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.” Baptism and salvation do not come upon a person by simply uttering the words, “I believe”. Jesus said to go and be “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20). People who “believe” are to be taught what they are to observe all that Jesus commanded, and if they accept the Word of God through obedience, then they may be baptized. The same happened to Phillip and the eunuch (Acts 8:26-39). So, have you been baptized and told that you were saved by simply uttering the words, “I believe”, or have you been baptized into a new way of life where you have become “a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17)?

Evening Thought...
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Luke 19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
Several miracles in that one moment happened. Trees are usually avoided with a large crowd as they are obstacles in the journey, yet Jesus directs the party unusually towards it for He knew that He must encounter Zacchaeus. Jesus never met Zacchaeus, yet Jesus knew his name. Jesus knew Zacchaeus’ heart and surprised Zacchaeus by stating that He would be abiding at Zacchaeus’ house. Now, do you recognize that Jesus knows us just as personally as He knew Zacchaeus?
