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).

Isaiah 56:11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they [are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
This is the description of most pastors who are more concerned about keeping the congregation as opposed to preparing people to go to Heaven. We have whole churches even given over to promoting sin in the church for hardly anyone wants to attend a church where repentance and cessation from sin is a main theme. So, what pastor do you listen to? One that tickles the “itching ears” (2 Timothy 4:3) or one that preaches like Jesus who said, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17)?

Words Mean Things...

WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (358): 2 Timothy 3:10 is subtle but it is there for us to live by knowledge and look upon as the example of what a Christian is expected to be -- holy and sanctified – especially when Paul also wrote, “to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us” (2 Thessalonians 3:9). “But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience.” Doctrine is the knowledge of a sanctified life while the manner of life is the example. This is why 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). Now, are you obeying the knowledge you are gaining from God’s Word of a holy life and following Paul’s example?

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God or mere mortal? There is a difference. One of them can honestly save us while the other technically cannot.
