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 34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
The mighty may rule the world today, but in the end, they shall be overthrown by God. Now, are you careful to use what authority you have in a compassionate and responsible manner, or do you wield it over others?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, October 30, 2026
James 4:17 tells us that “to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin”, but if sin had no consequence, would it really be sin? In other words, if I am already saved and cannot be lost, yet I am told that if I do not do that which is good before God, it is a sin with “the wages of sin [is] death” (Romans 6:23), then it really is not sin and the Bible is lying somewhere. Either it really is a sin and I can be lost, or sin really is not sin and there is no consequence. Where the lie happens to be is in the notion that a person cannot lose salvation by choice, and the choice to sin is how we lose it. So, what choices are you making every day of your life?

Evening Thought...
Friday, October 30, 2026
Luke 22:52-53 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
Jesus questioned their process showing that they feared Him. To come with swords and staves, they thought that a miracle might have been performed and they were ready to do battle. Instead, Jesus went peaceably. Now, in regards to religious matters, if authorities would show up to arrest you, would you go peaceably, or would you have a shootout?
