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 33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
That is a very bold statement to make by Elihu towards Job. He basically said, “Keep your mouth shut Job while I make you wise.” So, are you that direct with people, or would you say something like, “Have you considered…” as being a softer approach?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, October 5, 2026
Hebrews 10:1 answers the question, “Were the Jews saved by all those sacrifices but we are saved by grace?” The verse states, “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.” The answer is no. We are all saved by grace, but the purpose of the sacrifices was to move out in faith in that the sacrifice pointed to the grace Giver to come. Now that He came, we do not need the sacrifices because we have the testimonies that He came. Besides, the only Bible definition of the word “grace” that is so plain is found by the hands of Moses (Exodus 34:9). So, are you still stuck on the thought that Old Testament people were saved by the sacrifices but Christians are saved by grace through faith, or do you recognize that the sacrifices were merely the gospel played out physically and that we are all saved the same way, which is by the blood of Jesus?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Keep in mind that at this point, the ten tribes that were scattered hundreds of years earlier became so mingled that God only knows who is who. On top of that, does that mean all non-tribes of Israel are lost? They certainly cannot be saved for “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:10). So, do you understand that Jesus was speaking in the terms that His disciples would understand but in reality “the saints shall judge the world” (1 Corinthians 6:2), tribe and non-tribe; or do you hold out some special significance even though today the tribes are pretty much untraceable?
