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...
Saturday, August 22, 2026
Job 32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
So, Elihu did not rush these older gentlemen, and Elihu exercised patience. Some older people take time to gather their thoughts, and some times thoughts get ahead of what they are saying, but do you exercise patience with such people, or do you become irritated quickly and easily?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, August 23, 2026
Claiming to be saved or not, Colossians 3:5-6 makes it clear that if we partake of any of these things, we will receive the wrath of God. “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.” Not keeping the home and making excuses for uncleanness is something many Christians do experience. Coveting is as simple as wasting money on things you think at the moment you have to have but find out that you really did not need it. Being too clingy or just have to experience something many Christians suffer from. Even idolatry these days is sneaky where supporting sporting events and celebrities by purchasing tickets, paraphernalia, and other means of wasting money on them is a form of modern day idolatry. So, if you are guilty of any of these items, do you ignore this list because you are “saved”, or do you realize this does apply to everyone and that these things need removed by the grace of God and His willingness to give us the power to do so before it is too late?

Evening Thought...
Sunday, August 23, 2026
Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Are you looking forward to the second coming in which Jesus has the power to destroy the wicked (2 Thessalonians 2:8), raise the dead (John 5:28-29), and bring us up to Him in the clouds (1 Thessalonians 4:17), or is that a fearful thought and you would rather hide in the rocks and mountains (Revelation 6:15-16)?
