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...
Monday, July 27, 2026
Job 31:26-28 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness; And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above.
The sun shining and the moon walking while reacting with enticement and kissing after them and is regarded as iniquity cannot refer to the literal sun and moon. They are a metaphor. Regarding that metaphor, Jesus said, “Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). So, do you regard any attraction, even with mere small amount of enticement, in your heart, or are you careful not to be purposely enticing yourself with those things?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, July 27, 2026
Let it be clear that justification, cleansing a person, forgiveness of all sins, etc., does not come through law keeping. It comes through Jesus Christ alone. Galatians 5:4 says, “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” However, that does not mean keeping the Ten Commandments is meaningless. “For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified” (Romans 2:13). God does not bestow His grace upon those carelessly disregarding His law. Basically, everyone is expected to keep the all of the Ten Commandments. Where we failed, which all of us have a lot (Romans 3:23), that is where grace comes in. We cannot earn grace. We cannot promise anything for grace. We cannot do a anything at all regarding grace. That is all on Jesus Christ. So, are you carelessly thinking you are covered by grace as you enjoy the ways of the world, or do you see the proper relationship between law and grace and are keeping the commandments, which is His law?

Evening Thought...

Luke 21:3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
That is because the sacrifice is greater under these circumstances, and yet, when it comes to offering even time to God, where are the “Christians”? The excuse is that they care too busy to give God any serious time or means for that matter. Now, of your means and time, do you sacrifice for God, or do you have an excuse?
