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 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves” (Romans 15:1). So, do you help those that are easily tempted, or do you just shake your head at them?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, May 26, 2020
The Bible says, “There is difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please [her] husband” (1 Corinthians 7:34). This is a spiritual application and not a physical one, where to be a virgin is to be where the gospel “espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:2). Read properly, we are engaged and not married yet. Marriage comes at “the marriage supper of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:9). But, “the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband” (Romans 7:2), referring to Satan as our husband as long as we live in sin and care for the things of the world. “Know ye not, that 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). So, are you engaged to Christ and Satan is dead in your life, or is Satan alive and well still and we cannot be engaged to Christ?

Evening Thought...

Matthew 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
This is a small amount of sinning but the first person being forgiven of a huge amount is now exaggerating this smaller situation. Some people just have a superiority complex. It makes them feel so much bigger when treating others that they know will be humble through it and not challenge the offense. So, which are you? The humble person, the person that stands up to every challenge not counting the consequences, or the bully?
