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...

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
It was not literally Jesus’ body for first of all, Jesus was still using His body at the time. It was meant to be just a remembrance thing and not a transformation thing. Now, “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), and “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4), meaning that it is all symbolic. When we eat the unleavened bread, we are not literally eating Jesus but He represents the Word of God. To “eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood” (John 6:53) is to study the Word and live by it. So, do you see Jesus speaking the spiritual flesh and not literal, or do you really believe that the unleavened bread becomes the flesh of Jesus at communion?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, September 23, 2026
2 Timothy 4:7 has to ask the question that if a person is eternally saved, why fight? “I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” Putting up a fight, like wearing the armor of Ephesians 6 to do battle against Satan and his temptations for us to give up the faith, is the expectation of the Christian and “he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). So, are you fighting the good fight of faith, or are you just claiming to have faith while not resisting worldly temptations?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Jesus took unfermented grape juice to represent His shed blood. Likewise, it did not become His blood because, well, He was using it at the time. So, does your church use fermented grape juice known as alcoholic wine representing sin, or does your church use unfermented wine representing the purging away of sin?
