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...

Isaiah 54:9 For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
God has all reason to be wroth with everyone that enters Heaven, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), and yet, He is “ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee” (Psalms 86:5) and “to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24). And never will the conversation in eternity ever be about our past sins. Are you looking forward to that time that you can walk with God without guilt of committing any sin for they will all have been washed away (Acts 22:16)?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, September 21, 2021
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (329): 1 Corinthians 5:12 involves people judging, just as Jesus taught, though many, even of Christians, do not think Jesus told us to judge: “by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:20) and “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24). Now, to the Corinthians, “what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?”, and verse 13 tells us what to do with those that produce bad fruits: “But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person”, keeping in mind that wicked people are simply inclusive of those that refuse to give up their sins (Proverbs 10:16). As a result, there must be a standard to judge by. That standard must be consistent and unchanging for all time. So, they are not simply church rules, like no chewing gum during the sermon. No. It is more serious to be casting out members over. Basically, the standard, as it has been from the beginning of time is the heavenly law known as the Ten Commandments, which the originals are kept safe in Heaven (Revelation 11:19). Now, what fruit are you producing?

Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And this is the Father’s message to us that all of those feast days, sacrificing of lambs and other animals, along with many other ceremonial practices came to and end. Any further keeping of such practices actually insults the Son of God as these things pointed to Jesus. At the death and resurrection, Jesus began His heavenly ministry fulfilling each feast. In fact, we are waiting for the seventh and final feast day to be fulfilled, which is at the second coming. So, do you realize the significance of the feast days? Or, are you part of the group that tries to continue the observation here on earth?
