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 31:38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
Like Job, do you respect the land by not trashing it and not being wasteful of resources, or do you litter, waste water and other resources, destroy property, etc.?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, August 7, 2026
Ephesians 5:6 tells us, “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” Now, how do people know if the words are vain or not? By testing them, of course. Would that test be your opinion? Would it be how your parents raised you? Would it be by agreement in a church committee? Would it be man-made resources that keep changing? How about having “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11)?

Evening Thought...

Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
We must remember that when brought before councils, before rulers, before any threatening group or influencer, it is not a matter of us figuring out a way to prove innocence so we do not face being thrown out of the church, thrown into prison, or even be committed to death. We are to lay our lives on the line for the glory of God. In each situation, if we hold back the truth that could glorify God, even without lying, but would surely commit us to consequences, we are to face the consequence and glorify God! Now, in all that you do and say, do you keep in mind to “fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28)?
