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).

Job 29:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Parables contain lessons to learn from, but they are not to be taken literally. For instance, the sheep and the goats parable that Jesus told in Matthew 25:31-46 is not about literal sheep and literal goats. So, do you take parables as learning lessons, or do you try to apply them literally?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, April 26, 2026
Acts 20:7 says, “And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight”, and many suppose this is an example of the new Christian Sabbath being Sunday. First of all, Sunday runs from midnight to midnight, and according to this verse as well as Genesis 1, days of the Bible run from sunset to sunset. So, the first day of the week started Saturday night and Paul preached until midnight. Then of course we have Eutychus who falls out of the window and dies (Acts 20:9) but a miracle through Paul revives him (Acts 20:10), which is why the story is being told. Now, when the sun came up, still being the first day of the week, Paul “departed” (Acts 20:11). He traveled on the first day of the week, which is not something that would have been done if it were the new Sabbath. Now, do you still try to justify Sunday is the Christian Sabbath by the use of this verse that does not even completely fall on Sunday but Saturday night and is over by the end of Sunday afternoon, or do you see this was nothing more than a farewell service taking place after the real Sabbath was over because the Sabbath is not a day used to even have a farewell gathering?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold.
That was putting action to his conversion. Conversion converts people and converted people change their lives. “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3, 5). So, has your life been changed, or do you just mouth that you are Christian while living a worldly life that there is hardly a difference between you and those who do not believe?
