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 30:21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
Job did not lose faith and give up his belief, but he also did not hold back telling God how he saw things. It seemed that God appeared to be cruel, when it actually was Satan, and Job felt that every attempt to ease himself of the awful situations that he found himself in, it was like God would push him back or down. There was not a forward motion but a downward spiral almost constantly. Now, not everyone gets to have a life free from issues but many do seem to have a better life from the outward appearance. Are you jealous of them, or do you see God’s hand for you especially in difficult times to bear witness for Him?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, June 19, 2026
Ever notice that in a garden how slow good plants grow but how rapid the weeds grow? Left unattended, the weeds can grow so fast that the good plants are smothered. Likewise, bad character traits, left unattended, can choke out all the good character traits and do so at a rapid pace, let alone, multiply faster too. Further, good character traits are not instant but developed slowly over time. James wrote, “let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” (James 1:4). Patience is not granted to people but developed through many trials and tribulations over a lifetime. So, are you developing good character traits where you can say, “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20), and daily cutting and pulling away the weeds, or are you leaving the weeds unattended?

Evening Thought...

Luke 20:7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
Parents do not like this answer from children where the parents know the children have an answer but the child just does not want to suffer the consequence for their answer, but for grown adults, actually educated adults, that know better, to act like kids is very cowardly. Now, do you lie to those that expect an answer from you when you know the answer but do not want to say it for the consequences thereof, or do you say the answer, and if it is not appropriate to answer in front of everyone, do you ask to speak in private instead?
