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...
Sunday, May 16, 2021
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
“And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh” (Jude 1:23). “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7). So, do you resist the refining process, or do you praise God through those trials?

Words Mean Things...

WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (221): 1 Timothy 2:8 refers to having “holy hands”: “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” Keep in mind, “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination” (Proverbs 28:9). Therefore, to have holy hands is not the proper use of soap or special water to clean them. It is that we do not handle sin but rather handle obedience, especially towards God’s commandments. Therefore, “holy hands” is that living of a holy and sanctified life. Now, do you have holy hands or filthy hands?
