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...
Monday, May 4, 2026
Job 29:7 When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street!
The gate represents the city’s thoroughfare where many people come and go. To have a seat is as a dignitary of sorts (Daniel 2:49). That was Job’s old life, but after losing everything and being struck with is health ailment, he thought he could never resume that post. Now, are there relationships, positions, etc. that no longer exist in your life due to bad decisions, unfortunate circumstances, etc. that you look fondly upon? Are any of those losses because you chose to follow Jesus? If so, are you careful not to reminisce your old life in wanting to go back to having positions and relationships?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, May 4, 2026
The Bible says, “Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian” (Acts 26:28) where “almost” is still wholly lost. There is no “almost” with God. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37). So, are you almost a Christian simply because you consider yourself to be one, or are you actually a Christian by living as a Christian?

Evening Thought...
Monday, May 4, 2026
Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Now Jesus did not leave us physical money to work for interest and investments. It is symbolic of all that God has given to us and how we use it. The primary goal is to win souls for the kingdom. So, how are you using your God given talents and blessings? Are you using them to further the gospel or buried in the rubbish of this world?
