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 28:26-27 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
When God decrees or commands, it is so; it happens; it is performed. Now, when Jesus says to us converted human beings, “sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5:14), do you believe or are you an unbeliever?

Words Mean Things...
Thursday, April 23, 2026
If all we are to do is believe to be saved, then why did Paul state, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). It would be a contradiction of us to simply ignore that this is a command. In other words, to say there is no consequence to disobeying this command would make the verse meaningless. Basically, when we believe and are baptized, it is then expected that we learn the way of a Christian and live it; otherwise, our profession was meaningless. Where we did not know, God automatically forgives us, but to repent is to cease from a forbidden activity, typically known as sin, and “sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). That means we are expected to keep the Ten Commandments. This is not an act of works because eternal life is still a gift. God simply wants to transform us into creatures that can then abide eternally with sinless beings by giving us the free gift of grace for the sins already committed, forgiveness of sins if we trip up again, but in no wise are we saved to stay as unrepented sinners. So, are you listening to the words of Paul and repenting of all your sins and obeying God’s law, or are you remaining unrepented by dismissing the Ten Commandments?

Luke 19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
When looking into religious matters, be it a challenge to your beliefs or something else, do you make haste to search it out in God’s Word, or do you just put it off?
