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 29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle;
What is the “secret of God”? Job connected something to it in chapter 15 and verse 8: “Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?” It is wisdom. To confirm, 1 Corinthians 2:7 tells us, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom].” And keep in mind, “your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost” (1 Corinthians 6:19) or tabernacle. So, God’s wisdom was upon Job in his youth. Now, is God’s wisdom upon you today, or do you turn to worldly wisdom, especially “oppositions of science falsely so called” (1 Timothy 6:20)?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, April 29, 2026
If the disciples and early Christians did not believe in ghosts or spirits, then why did they explain certain situations with phrases like “It is his angel”, referring to Peter (Acts 12:15) and “supposed it had been a spirit”, referring to Jesus (Mark 6:49)? That is because the Pharisees taught the people wrong: “For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both” (Acts 23:8). Now, just because a person is a recognized church leader, do you still search the scriptures to make sure what is taught is actually biblical, or do you just accept whatever is taught as truth because your own pastor would not mislead you since they are in good company with others of your church who also teach the same thing?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
This was not the first time the disciples did a type of date setting. Right before Jesus ascended, “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6). Humans are not without fault. What we do have though, is the gift of repentance from God (2 Timothy 2:25). So, have you learned not to date set and repented of the thought of date setting, or are you a person prone to figuring out dates that are not clearly revealed in the Bible?
