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...
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Job 32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
Elihu, a young man, put the elder men in their places. The only way that it was accomplished was because he spoke the truth. It is difficult to speak against the truth, especially when accompanied by irrefutable evidence. Now, when you argue with people, do you present your opinions or the irrefutable truth?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Colossians 3:17 tells us, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” All is all inclusive, so when a person chooses to sin or speak inappropriately, how can they do all in the name or character of Jesus? They cannot. Therefore, they are not really a Christian nor are saved just because they can sing well at church or claim to be saved. So, are you living as Jesus expects you to live, or are you still living like the devil disguised with some acts of kindness to make you feel good?

Evening Thought...
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Luke 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
When we study the predicted events that will culminate before the second coming in detail and not generality, we ought to be able to know the second coming is about to happen. Now, too many people dismiss the generality of things, like saying, “We’ve always had earthquakes!”, but when we study why people will also be brought before church councils and cast out and even brought before the state facing fines, loss of property, prison, and even death, then the earthquakes of old become just that. All of the signs need to be happening. So, are you quick to dismiss all the signs about the second coming because we have always had a number of earthquakes, or do you see the connections between the signs and how specific the events will be and even go as far as to say that we are very close in our lifetime to it happening?
