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...
Wednesday, February 12, 2025
Job 12:5 He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
The lazy are quick to criticize those that are striving to accomplish something but may make mistakes, especially unintentionally. It is called a learning experience, but those of a critical heart that do not even attempt anything amount to nothing. It is better to try and fail than to not try at all. A critical heart is never a good thing. Being a lazy person is well condemned in the book of Proverbs. The combination of both is certainly not wise, but are you wise and give forth your best effort each day, no matter how small or large the task is, despite the criticisms?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, February 11, 2025
Let us be like Nehemiah: “And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven” (Nehemiah 1:3-4). The church today is broken down. We have thousands of denominations of Christianity all teaching conflicting doctrines, many mocking the Bible, many making their own Jesus, practicing abominations right from the pulpit, and much more. So, do you recognize that the church is broken down and do you weep for it (Joel 2:17) and pray for it, or are you blinded to that fact that there is apostasy or even recognize it but do not care about it figuring that these things were expected to happen anyways (2 Timothy 3:1-5)?

Evening Thought...
Tuesday, February 11, 2025
Luke 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
That does not mean they would be alive at the second coming, but Jesus was pointing to the transfiguration experience coming up in the next few verses. Now, in regards to the second coming, there will be a hundred and forty-four thousand that will also not taste of death (Revelation 14:1-6). Are you preparing and hoping to be part of that group?
