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...
Sunday, May 29, 2022
Esther 1:5-6 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace; [Where were] white, green, and blue, [hangings], fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds [were of] gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
These hangings are from a pagan king; therefore, they give a false pretense of reality because paganism is of Satan and is using God’s symbols. For instance, white, green, and blue would equate to pure, living, truth. The purple of royalty is well understood among all nations. Gold and silver are the purity of faith. Red, blue, white, and black are contrasting, where red is sin as opposed to truth as practiced in obedience to the Ten Commandments written on stone that was blue in color being on sapphire, not by accident. White of purity as opposed to the stain of impurity in black. Today, we are experiencing many false realities where the media and politicians used to be subtle in their lies but have come out boldly and blatantly presenting themselves as doing good while suppressing the actual good, especially in the form of suppressing truth. So, despite the need to walk by faith and not by sight, are you being careful regarding the agendas that have been unleashed through the lies and hypocrisies found in politics, science, the media, etc.?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, May 27, 2022
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY JUSTIFICATION ALONE! (523): James 4:17 states, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.” First, please take note that it does not say, “Unless you are saved.” Anyone that ignores doing the good thing when they know it to be good, it is considered sin. And any sin unconfessed is not forgiven for “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). And remember, “the wages of sin [is] death” (Romans 6:23). So, what good are you neglecting to do, if any?

Evening Thought...

Mark 6:13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].
Those that claim to be able to do these things drawing many into their churches to get the anointing, healing, and the devils cast out are all false. If such were true today, those healers would go out into the world as Jesus and the disciples did and heal them in public, even emptying out hospitals. So, are you taken in by Satan’s counterfeit, or do you see through those deceptions recognizing true healings, anointings, and casting out of devils?
