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).

Job 13:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
Another way of saying this is, “Why can’t you look me in the face, and why do you consider me your enemy?” People who judge others without evidence are just opinionated. And do not say we should not be judging! The Bible is clear in many verses that we are, such as, “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?” (1 Corinthians 6:2). Now, do you simply hold strong opinions against others for no reason at all, or do you require evidence before passing judgment about someone?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, April 1, 2025
When Job said, “And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God” (Job 19:26), he was referring to the resurrected body: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:52-53). We receive the resurrected body at the second coming. Job described death and when he shall see God next. No where did Job tell us about a soul or spirit meeting with God. It is a new flesh that shall see God. Job knew that when we die, we are unconsciously waiting until the second coming. So, do you accept the words spoken by Job, or the words spoken through paganism describing a spirit existence somewhere?

Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Jesus said, “the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). That is quite close. It is a heart conversion thing. So, how nigh or close is the Kingdom of God to you?
