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 9:5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
That is called holy anger. God does not wake up in a bad mood and take it out people like humans do. He has no rush hour traffic to get Him upset and make the office feel miserable like humans do. Humans can mock Him, blaspheme Him, and His wrath is not moved, but mess with His saints, and He will send a flood, burn cities, open the earth to swallow the rebellion, and evidently overturn mountains. So, are you worth God getting angry over, or are you part of the reason God does get angry by persecuting the saints even by simple jokes?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, November 20, 2024
According to 2 Kings 24, “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up” (verse 1) and through it all, King Jehoiakim died (verse 6). While Judah was under attack, Jehoiachin his son reigned in his father’s place (verse 6) and “did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD” (verse 9). While being punished of God through Nebuchadnezzar and others, to still be doing evil is lunacy, but it does not stop there. Mattaniah, who became Zedekiah in a name change (verse 17), “did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD” (verse 19). That is some persistent evil doing by both of them. Would you not cease from the evil while being punished for the prior evil and even the evil before that so as not to compound the situation, making the punishment worse? Now, have you persisted in evil to the loss of everything in your life? Many a drug addict, alcoholic, gambler, etc. will go down that path. How sad.

Evening Thought...

Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
To say it a little more plainly, Jesus just stated that this has something to do with how a person hears, as in hears the Word of God. That means, those who have heard and accepted truth will be given more truth. Those who have not accepted earlier truth, even that which they heard will be taken away, easily dismissed through Satan’s lies making it appear as if they never received it. So, of which of these two describes yourself?
