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, January 13, 2025
Job 10:18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
We are back to Job wishing that he died at childbirth so that no one would have gotten to, not only see him, but to get to know him. Now, can you count the positive influences, even the blessings that you have had on others that makes your birth a service of God, or do you only see the negative aspects of your life and wonder why God allowed you to be born?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, January 12, 2025
Queen Athaliah slayed all the sons of the deceased king so she could reign (2 Chronicles 22:10) except one had escaped and been hidden for years (2 Chronicles 22:11). Later, “they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown” (2 Chronicles 23:11). And when the queen saw the rightful king, she had the never to yell, “Treason, Treason” (2 Chronicles 23:12). She was the one who was guilty. Now, do you project onto others that which is falsehood so you appear greater to others than that person, like calling someone racist when they are not while you are, or do you “in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves” (Philippians 2:3)?

Luke 9:11 And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
Do you receive the gospel from Jesus, Who more often commanded obedience more than talking about the free gift, and do you go to Him for spiritual healing and insight to physical healing as these people did?
