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...

Isaiah 43:25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Praise the Lord for this, but do keep in mind, according to the New Covenant, it is stated, “This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 10:16-17). Notice the same reference to sins being remembered no more. We do not just take one verse but follow Isaiah’s study rule (Isaiah 28:9-10) and gather all the verses on the topic to get the complete picture. Now, the transgressions and sins are blotted out for those that have God’s law in their hearts, that means, those that are antagonistic towards God’s Ten Commandments do not have their sins and transgressions wiped off the books in Heaven. So, do you live by God’s Ten Commandments, or do you just claim the blotting out part while breaking the commandments?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, January 20, 2021
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (132): Titus 1:15 states, “Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.” The pure are the ones living a holy and sanctified life. The defiled ones who do not believe that they are given the power to be living a pure life is everyone else. This is so plain of a teaching that Daniel even saw this happening: “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand” (Daniel 12:10). See! There are only the pure and the lost. In fact, the last day church would be “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5). That is a lot of good people attending church but on their tongues are all forms of criticizing the pure life: “No one can keep the commandments”, “The commandments are nailed to the cross”, “Once saved, always saved”, “We’re under grace now”, etc., etc., etc. That is the denying the power to live a pure life. So, are you pure, living a life free from sinning, or are you a deceived unbeliever thinking you are a believer but are not?

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
This is the second of four warnings that Jesus gives, and yet, Christians just believe anything they want. They simply go to church, if they do, because of the likeability as opposed to the doctrines. They have been fooled into thinking that doctrines do not matter, hence, the many have been deceived by these numerous false prophets, preachers, and teachers. So, are you deceived into thinking doctrines do not matter when doctrines are stressed throughout the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 John 1:9, 2 John 1:10, and many more)?
