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...
Tuesday, August 11, 2026
Job 32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Remember, “we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28) so we cannot justify ourselves, but justification is not wasted on those breaking the law “For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified” (Romans 2:13). So, do you glorify God when obedience to Him shines forth through you, or do you try to claim eternal life because meritoriously you are obeying God?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, August 12, 2026
Ephesians 6:14-18 describes what we are to put on spiritually as a Christian. “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Many leave off truth. They declare that everyone has truth even though they contradict. Truth does not contradict. Someone or both have error. A standard to test one’s “truth” will reveal if it is truth or not. That standard is the Word of God, which many Christians leave off as well. Jesus used it to test the leaders in His day and revealed the many errors that they taught (John 5:39). Overall, today’s Christian does not believe they need the armor not that we are in a battle for our salvation. They believe they are already saved. Unfortunately, they have already lost their salvation. Now, if you think you are already saved and cannot be lost, will you consider repenting and put on the armor along with doing battle against Satan, and if you have been doing battle, will you continue to “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12)?

Evening Thought...

Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.
Christ’s name in the form of being called “Christian” is not as hated as the first century. They died for the name. That is because it is not in the actual name that causes problems. It is living as a Christian instead of saying one is a Christian. So, do unbelievers count you as one of them and get along with minor to no issues, or do people hate the Christian lifestyle you are living and distance themselves from you?
