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...
Thursday, May 2, 2024
Nehemiah 13:25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
That is a serious commitment to never exchange son or daughter with unbelievers. God does not change but the physical has become the spiritual: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Though, we do not have to be so physical, especially since we could be sued over the matter and serve time in prison, just how committed are you to never allow someone to marry an unbeliever without at least giving them warning about God’s serious displeasure?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, May 1, 2024
According to 1 Corinthians 10:11, the things of the Old Testament were written, basically, in a manner that it would be repeated in our day and that we are not to make the wrong choice by repeating the same mistakes. So, in Numbers 16:1, Korah is one of the top entrusted ministers next to Moses and Aaron the “organization”, in the community known as “Children of God” or “Israel”. In addition, 250 princes who were most famous and renown (Numbers 16:2) were with Korah when they all declared that all the Israelites were holy people and for Moses to back off on all this labeling of sin, encouragement of keeping the commandments, and commanding to follow the dictated practices (Numbers 16:3). If these famous ministers were alive today, they would be televangelists for that is how popular these ministers were. In fact, it sounds like that describes today’s preachers who have nailed the Ten Commandments to the cross, pit faith and grace against commandment keeping, calling all Commandment-keepers legalists or being Judaizers, etc. Korah and gang all got swallowed up into the earth (Numbers 16:32). Even the followers died too. So, what do you think shall happen to these modern preaches teaching that everyone is saved? And what do you think will happen to you if you believe their cheap gospel?

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Do you have the same custom or practice as Jesus had?
