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).

Job 29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Job was used to even nobles respecting him. Now, there is one Noble above all nobles, and do you respect Him, or do you try to make Him to be as a best buddy, even joining in with pleasures of this world, etc.?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, May 8, 2026
How can a person claim to be saved by grace say that God’s Ten Commandments have been nailed to the cross when Romans 2:13 clearly states, “For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified”? To be justified is to have Jesus “present [you] faultless” (Jude 1:24) as if you never sinned. That is what grace does. But only a certain group receives it. Those that are doing God’s commandments, which is His law. Grace is not given to the alcoholic that has no intention of stopping the drinking of alcohol. Grace is not given to anyone who wants to willfully sin or purposely be careless in sinning. Hebrews 10:26 even tells us this: “if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.” The sacrifice of Jesus does not cover the continued willful act of sinning. Grace would end up encouraging sinning if that were the case. So, are you obeying the commandments and receiving grace for the times you broke His commandments, or do you really think that grace is granted so we can live careless lives not caring who we hurt through sinning, be it ourselves or others?

Evening Thought...

Luke 19:19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
See, even the person resulting in gaining a mere five pounds had his reward and commendation, which is still good. Now, do not get caught up in the numbers. Remember the parable where everyone in the end receives a penny for their work despite the last group working but an hour (Matthew 20:1-16). That means that we shall not receive varying amounts of Heaven. Then there must be a different meaning behind the ten cities and five cities, which is not as important as that of learning not to be so focused upon the results as is to just put forth the best effort with what you have been blessed with. So, when it comes to God and His kingdom, especially in seeking after souls, are you giving your best efforts with the means and talents entrusted to you?
