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 12:14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
These are the mighty works of God in which Sodom, Babylon, and other places remain broken down by the hand of God to the point of never being rebuilt, and Ananias with Sapphira were well shut up being struck dead. Now, do you acknowledge God to be all mighty?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, February 21, 2025
We look at the heroes of the Bible, like Joseph and Daniel and others, and think how amazing they were, but as for ourselves, we could never be like them. Do realize that all of them were just ordinary people. It is just that they all acted according to God’s will and took courage at the right moment. It is summarized in the story of Esther where Mordecai tells her, “who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for [such] a time as this?” (Esther 4:14), and then she responded with, “so will I go in unto the king, which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish” (Esther 4:16). She became a hero because she left the consequences in God’s hands instead of looking for an easy way out. So, do you see if you were placed into a tight situation that if you simply do what God expects, you too could be a hero, or do you look for the easy way out of things instead, in which, “[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small” (Proverbs 24:10)?

Evening Thought...

Luke 9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept [it] close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
With that tremendous experience (transfiguration), would you be able to keep your mouth shut as Jesus requested (Matthew 17:9)?
