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 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.
Job compared himself with the early and latter rain, which are symbolic of the workings of the Holy Spirit. We are told to “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain” (James 5:7). There are two applications of the concept of early and latter rain. The first is that the early rain fell on the disciples at Pentecost and the latter will fall at the end of time upon the last generation. The second understanding is that the Holy Spirit works upon individual hearts as the early rain of repentance (Matthew 3:11) preparing for the latter rain in the last generation. Both understandings culminate in the last generation. Now, are you accepting of the preparation for the latter rain, or do you really think you are here to enjoy life that this world promotes without caring about the gospel going to the world and a role that you may play?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, May 24, 2026
Romans 6:14-15 is very misunderstood by most Christians so much so that they think it does away with the Ten Commandments when it even says, “God forbid!” “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.” To be under grace is to have been forgiven of breaking the law, therefore, we are no longer under the condemnation by the law because we are presented faultless (Jude 1:24) after we have confessed our sins (1 John 1:9) and received grace. Being under grace does not permit us to go and break the law again, otherwise, we would be in a vicious circle of sinning, confessing, receiving grace, sinning, confessing, receiving grace, etc. That pattern, Paul says, “God forbid” to. Therefore, we live that sin does not control us or have dominion upon us by not giving into sinning, and with sin being the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4), we become obedient to the Ten Commandments and not try to get rid of them. And you should see that it is by the grace of God that we can do so. It certainly is not by our works. So, are you listening to Paul declaring that we do not keep breaking the commandments to get lots of grace, or have you been brainwashed into pitting grace against the commandments?

Luke 19:32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
Since the disciples found everything just the way Jesus said they would find it, that means Jesus had the ability of “Declaring the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:10), making Him God. Now, Jesus made many more declarations about even our future. Do you trust that they will happened just as Jesus said they would, or do you not trust the scriptures?
