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...
Monday, October 7, 2024
Job 7:4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
His sores kept him awake all night, but for us, we may be kept awake all night for other reasons, especially those things out of our control, like noisy neighbors or not feeling well for instance. But the important question is, how is your attitude towards others in the morning being that you lack sleep? Would Christ approve of your attitude?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, October 7, 2024
There is a principle in the Bible in which we could actually grant us a moral and upright president instead of what usually ends up in office. “If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel” (1 Kings 2:4). But instead, we have a society that is out to get what they can get and enjoy life with the fewest restrictions possible, and we end up with a president that feeds into what society wants. A society that wants to enjoy sinful practices but not the consequence thereof leads to having in office those that permit and protect the right to get rid of that consequence. Being moral is not something legislated. It is a change of heart from the fleshly nature (Romans 8:1) to the godly nature (2 Peter 1:4), being born again (John 3:7). Now, are you that example that this world needs, or do you have your own pet selfish agenda?

Evening Thought...
Sunday, October 6, 2024
Luke 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
John the Baptist is a famous person. In the last days, God will have many non-famous people preaching the last offer of salvation to the human race as outlined in Revelation 14:6-12 and even Revelation 18:1-4. These will be considered greater because of the seriousness of the times. Now, are you striving to be part of that group, or has the world distracted you from the responsibility?
