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 29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth.
Speaking of those who respected Job before all appeared to have failed, even princes would not talk but keep silent in his presence. Now, there is respectful place in whose presence we ought to keep silent. It is at church where we go to meet God. So, when you enter the sanctuary part of the building, do you respect God by keeping silent, or are you look around for people you are close with and strike up conversation with them right there while others are trying to keep the silence?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, May 6, 2026
We are told that “the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation” (Romans 1:16). Today’s Christian, however, are “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:5). They make excuses for their sins with the most popular being, “God made me this way!” No, God did not make a person sinful, in fact, God “predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself” (Ephesians 1:5), but sin got in the way. We are all born with Heaven being our destination, but through inherited tendencies of sinful practices in generations prior to us along with society influencing us, we then “must be born again” (John 3:7) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). And that is where the “his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3). We can stop being a thief and live godly. We can stop being a murderer or losing our tempers (Matthew 5:22) and live godly. We can stop looking at explicit content and “fooling around” and live godly. We can stop sinning and live godly. So, do you believe and accept the power of God through the gospel, or do you deny the power to continue in your lifestyle thinking you are still saved?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
It is easy to be faithful when many will see the results of your efforts, but when only you and God see the results, just how faithful are you then over the “little things”?
