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, February 24, 2020
Isaiah 30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and [there shall be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.
Jesus once “breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (John 20:22). The work of the Holy Spirit is what shall sift the nations. The bridle in the jaws of the people are from not listening to the warnings of Jesus: “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4). “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:5). “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11). “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24). People listen to the lie that there is no truth and that God’s Ten Commandments are done away with, yet the Holy Spirit “will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13) and “reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8), which is another way of saying that the Holy Spirit will reprove the world for breaking the commandments and to live out God’s righteous commandments to be ready to be judged. So, are you receiving the breath of God, His Holy Spirit, or are you listening to the liars preaching that the commandments are done away with?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, February 24, 2020
Ever hear of the phrase, “I have nothing”? This phrase is frequented in movies to state that they have no come back, no idea for a solution, no rebuttal, no anything. In reality, they are right. We bring nothing into the world. We contribute nothing to being justified before God. We can take nothing out of this world. Who we are, our relationship with Him, and where we are going is very much dependent upon Him. In fact, in our response to being saved by even keeping the commandments, a sanctification process, is that “when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do” (Luke 17:10). Will you strive to be unprofitable and not simply causing a loss?

Evening Thought...

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Just how many preachers of the day accepted Jesus? Very few. Then why are so many Christians just flocking to whatever preacher they have feelings for? Though we are “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” (Hebrews 10:25), we ought to hold the preachers to a standard. So, do you use God’s Word as your standard to see if a preacher is preaching correctly, or do you just go to a preacher that makes you feel comfortable?
