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, August 3, 2026
Job 31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door?
Job did not do those things but lived by “fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). So, do you live your life concerned more of what people will think or what God will think?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, August 4, 2026
The deceptions Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24 in 4 different verses was not about being deceived into accepting a different religion. Ephesians 4:14 brings out that the deceptions would be inside Christianity creating doctrines that Christ did not teach. “That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” In fact, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son” (2 John 1:9). So, is everything you believe and do soundly scripturally based, or is it a tradition handed down or maybe a mere verse or two with wrong understanding to it?

Evening Thought...
Tuesday, August 4, 2026
Luke 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Well, real or staged, provoked or unprovoked, we have Russia who rose up against the Ukraine, and now the United States with Israel that rose up against Iran. That does not include other skirmishes on the continents of Africa, Asia, and Central/South America. Sure, it is not on the level of World War I or II, but both of those did occur in the last century. Jesus did not say that the nations and kingdoms would be constantly fighting but that in the last days, multiple nations and kingdoms would be involved, which appears to be more so than prior centuries. So, with the sadness over the loss of life, do you acknowledge that Jesus described our time with these words especially being on the brink of World War III, or do you think something grander is to fulfill the prophecy in a far future yet?
