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...

Nehemiah 6:4 Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
The devil does not stop after one attempt at distracting a person from the mission, in fact, he does not stop after four attempts. The important thing is, are you consistent in your response to the devil as Nehemiah was to Sanballat and Geshem, or depending on the temptation, do you waver a little encouraging the devil to continue to tempt in a particular area?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, June 2, 2023
Psalms 99:3 says, “Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.” Even Christianity has it all messed up. Oh, they praise God, but they do not praise Him with the acknowledgment that He is great and terrible; One to be respected; One Who is Almighty; One Who will judge us; One … etc. No wonder we are to hear the words in these last days before Jesus shows up (Revelation 14:14), “Fear God, and give glory to him…” (Revelation 14:7). So, are you part of the party group that actually disrespects God, or are you part of the “remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17)?

Evening Thought...
Thursday, June 1, 2023
Mark 14:13-15 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us.
Every detail was provided for the connection, conversation, and result. It was this experience that they were to have strength to meet the doubts that were coming upon them later that evening, but they forgot and scattered when then came for Jesus (Mark 14:27). So, how often do you read something in the Bible that you latch onto to give you strength in your relationship with God but forget in time of trial?
