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 30:6 To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, [in] caves of the earth, and [in] the rocks.
Job just named some low places to hide as he felt that society had cast him out, even hoping to be able to make a dwelling there. Now, when you feel like you are an outcast for Christ, do you “count it all joy” (James 1:2), or do you pity yourself?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, June 2, 2026
If “Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” (Romans 10:4) means that the commandments are done away with then God Himself has ceased to exist since the time of Job: “Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy” (James 5:11). The word “end” means result. The result of us breaking the commandments, seeing that all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), means that Jesus is our solution because “he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). So, does the Ten Commandments drive you to Jesus for salvation, a cleansing, and encourage you to stop breaking the commandments, or does Jesus drive you to doing away with the commandments so you can live a carefree life in sinning as “sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4)?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Jesus was not going to rebuke truth. It was true that Jesus was King and came in the name of the Lord. Now, when you speak truth, not regarding the manner but focusing upon the words, and others do not like it and demand that you apologize, would you apologize for speaking truth, or would you inform them that you cannot deny the truth and will not apologize?
