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...

Nehemiah 13:14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
If our names are removed from the Book of Life (Exodus 32:32), all the good deeds go with it. There will be nothing in or favor when the judgment takes place, keeping in mind that we are not saved by our deeds for “we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved” (Acts 15:11). However, “they were judged every man according to their works” (Revelation 20:13). Our deeds reveal if Christ resides in our hearts or not. Serving sin and the worldly ways show that Satan and selfishness resides. Keeping God’s Word and His commandments reveals Christ is in our hearts. So, can you honestly ask God to not blot out your name or your good deeds, or are you oblivious to the role good deeds play in salvation?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, April 19, 2024
According to Luke 3:23, “Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age” before He started His ministry. About the age of twelve, they were considered a young adult, and there was recognition of that. Even by today’s standards, eighteen is considered adulthood. Still yet, by twenty-five, there is recognition of respect towards being an adult, especially by vehicle insurance companies. Why did Jesus wait so long? According to Numbers 4, to be part of God’s service, it was stated, “From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation” (Numbers 4:30). In everything, Jesus fulfilled the scriptures, even in the smallest ways that most people would not even consider. Now, how careful are you to follow instructions even in the smallest ways?

Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Do you live by every Word of God, or do you make exceptions? Are all your practices of God or pagan?
