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 15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
God does not put trust in people, even the saints, as we are erring human beings making the heavens surrounding this planet unclean. However, to glorify God, do you at least give your best effort as a Christian to be able to be trusted, especially by unbelievers, and not be found as a liar?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, May 16, 2025
There are people who refuse to be part of a denomination, refuse to use the Bible, and simply go on their own impressions thinking they are being led by the Holy Spirit. God says to them, “Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:21). “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). If we do not spend time in God’s Word, we will not know Jesus and not know His way as opposed to our way. Then, symbolically, Jesus will say, “I never knew you: depart from me” (Matthew 7:23). So, are you so afraid to be misled by others that you refuse even the Bible, or do you see the importance of trusting in God’s Word (Psalms 119:42)?

Evening Thought...

Luke 11:11-13 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Asking the Father for the Holy Spirit is not to the ignorance of God’s Word. It is also not for fun and games either. The Holy Spirit is to guide us all to believe the same thing for “the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). And, we all shall conform our lives to being godly because “he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8). So, do you really know what you asking for when you ask the Father for the Holy Spirit?
