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 29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job, using an aggressive animal metaphor, declares to be able to disable the attackers, like breaking the jaw of a beast leaving it unable to attack, and then turning around and removing the spoil or prey from the clutches, like a victim that is between the teeth of an animal. David demonstrated that with taking on a bear and a lion (1 Samuel 17:34). Jesus demonstrates it by saving us, the victim, from the snares of the devil who seeks out the weak that he can devour (1 Peter 5:8). So, do you appreciate Jesus the Savior, or do you allow yourself to fall prey to Satan’s devices?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, May 17, 2026
All who believe grace replaces obedience to God’s Ten Commandments must not have read Romans 6:1-2, which says, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Remember, “sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4). That means we should be dead to transgressing the law, and if we are not transgressing it, then that means we are then keeping it. So, are you expecting lots of grace to cover your careless life while disregarding the Ten Commandments, or do you keep the commandments and depend upon God’s grace where you were weak and chose to sin but have repented?

Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
We need not concern ourselves if it is fair to give the one pound that was not used properly to the one with ten pounds instead of the one with five because our attitude should be that of being satisfied receiving acceptance from God. So, do you spend your time comparing yourself with others, or do you just make sure you are using what has been entrusted to you in a proper manner and approved of God?
