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 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom [is] above rubies.
We have been on a series of verses regarding the price of godly wisdom. Here, it is expressed explicitly. Now, do you recognize how valuable godly wisdom happens to be, which is greater than what this world has to offer, or do you think a person is wise only in the eyes of the beholder and there is no spectacular difference in wisdom, be it secular or religious?

Words Mean Things...

In Acts chapter 10, Peter had a vision of seeing unclean animals on a sheet and commanded to kill and eat (Acts 10:13), and so many Christians have gotten unnecessarily sick because they have taken the vision literally and have been eating God’s garbage disposals. The vision was symbolic and even Peter stated, “God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean” (Acts 10:28). The animals represent kingdoms (Daniel 7:23), and with them all being unclean, they represented kingdoms not of Israel. The Jews called such people as unclean. So, are you eating foods that God forbade even to Noah (Genesis 7:1-8), or do you recognize that this was not a literal allowance to eat such creatures?

Evening Thought...

Luke 18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
Jesus did not say that his faith healed his eyes. Jesus said that his faith saved him separate from being able to see again. Faith that the blind man could see again did not heal the man nor anyone else who approached Jesus for healing. Faith was exercised by each person believing that Jesus is the Son of God Who saves, Who forgives, Who makes us whole, and more. The ability to see again was a bonus. Now, do you have that type of faith, or is faith more of just acknowledging Jesus being the Son of God and leave it at that as you continue in your worldly ways?
