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...
Tuesday, August 18, 2026
Job 32:8 But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
The “spirit” is not an entity that goes floating off after being released from the body prison and goes to the spirit world, either Heaven or Hell for a Christian or roaming around for non-believers. Even God has a spirit beyond the Holy Spirit (Genesis 6:3). It is who we are. And the Almighty appeals to who we are and gives understanding. God certainly does not inspire understanding to our breath, our body, or even the soul, which is the breath and body together (Genesis 2:7). His spirit appeals to our spirit. So, is God inspiring understanding to your spirit, or is your spirit shutting out God’s inspiration because it is caught up in the distractions of the world instead listening to another being called Satan?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, August 18, 2026
Philippians 4:13 tells us that, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” In the eyes of modern Christians, that would be about winning sporting events but not overcoming addictions, bad habits, and sin. On the contrary! We are not to think we can face the giants in a championship game, but we are, however, to face Satan and his evil angels. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). So, do you think the doing of all things is limited to passing tests and winning games, or do you see your Father is more concerned about your spiritual welfare “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness” “that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:3-4)?

Evening Thought...
Tuesday, August 18, 2026
Luke 21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
And in 70 A.D., it was horrible beyond description, especially for babies. Now, unfortunately, things are going to become very dire again in the last days. Much distress will occur over the Mark of the Beast when buying and selling will be greatly restricted (Revelation 13:17). Now, are you one that has low tolerance during long periods of inconvenience, or are you able to weather the storms? If it is the prior, be thankful that you can train up to weathering the storms seeing the final crisis is not here yet!
