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 33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
So, like Elihu, do you prepare people with the tone you are about to take, which may cause the person you are speaking with to let down their guard, or do you just “let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay” (Matthew 5:37)?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, September 11, 2026
1 Timothy 4:3, we are told that there would be an unacceptable practice in the eyes of God that would be “Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” This is not universal but would be in an organization where certain people would be celibate and the organization would promote abstaining from meats, not every day, but at least one day a week even during a certain calendar period. Now, do you recognize what organization restricts their members from marrying and command abstaining from eating meat, especially on Fridays during Lent?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
With Jesus being both the Passover Lamb and Unleavened Bread (1 Corinthians 5:7), that means both the justification (forgiveness of our sins by faith through grace – 1 John 1:9) and sanctification (process of becoming holy strengthened by God’s divine power – 2 Peter 1:3) were fulfilled at the cross. So, do you claim the blood of Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and accept the holy life of Jesus for your imperfect life purging all sinful practices from you recognizing both the Passover and Unleavened Bread fulfilled in Jesus, or do you just claim the blood of Jesus and recognize only the Passover feast fulfilled in Jesus?
