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, June 8, 2026
Job 30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
Because of the condition the Job was in at the time, with losing everything and afflicted with the boils upon his body, there was no restraint from the criticizers and they let loose their criticisms. So, just how patiently are you able to suffer with personal suffering while others keep trying to “kick you while you are down”? This is why the experience of Job is described by James as “Ye have heard of the patience of Job”.

Words Mean Things...
Monday, June 8, 2026
Although Romans 13:8 states, “to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law”, it does not mean that the Ten Commandments are replaced with love. Does anyone really think they know how to love others? We are born selfish. Doing kind things is not love but kindness. Jesus declared how to love. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40). In other words, we look at the last six commandments to figure out how to love others. So, are you looking at them, or do you dismiss them thinking you are smarter than God and know how to love others without being instructed by God how to love?

Evening Thought...
Sunday, June 7, 2026
Luke 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Matthew’s version narrows the conversation to being the temple not having a stone upon another, and that happened in 70 A.D. Do not let anyone try to convince you that the wailing wall is part of the temple and the prophecy is yet future. That as Herod’s temple and the acts they perform at the wailing wall is actually sexual. It is purely pagan. So, are you caught up in the sensationalism pointing to a future temple to have all of its stones not be on top of another, or do you think when Jesus made the prophecy that it was the temple that He had just walked out of and the disciples marveled over “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to [him] for to shew him the buildings of the temple” (Matthew 24:1)?
