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...

Job 13:25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
Who would try to scare a leaf and chase after dry stubble? Sounds more like a person that is on a substance abuse trip. So instead, will you “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8)?

Words Mean Things...
Thursday, April 3, 2025
Job 21:30 says, “That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.” And Proverbs 16:4 says, “The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.” We see that the day of evil involves the day of wrath along with the consistency with scripture. Now, are you living towards the evil or surviving as a righteous person?

Evening Thought...

Luke 10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
It is one thing for people to live in sin, like those of Sodom, but for professed religious people, in the nation of Israel, to reject the saving message is another thing. In other words, it is more tolerable in the day of judgment for a drug dealer than a Christian who rejects more light, even specific light. So, do you really think generic Christianity is sufficient for salvation, or do you sense that there is more to Christianity that causes a different lifestyle as compared to the ways of the world?
