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 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
Are you looking forward to when the effects of sin are removed and you have eternal youthfulness about you, or did you think we would have no flesh and just be spirits inhabiting the universe?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, September 28, 2026
Hebrews 4:8-9 tells us that Jesus did not change the Sabbath day nor even remove it. “For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” Some will argue that this is for Hebrew people, like the Jewish Christians, but Romans 10:12 tells us, “There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.” So, are you breaking the commandment of God on a regular basis, or have you recognized that Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15) and choose to keep the intended day of rest, not a church service amount of time, but a day of time?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
The disciples put aside the feelings of Jesus to argue about who is the greatest! Jesus just announced that one of them will be tray Him to the point that Jesus would shed His blood and they all made it about themselves. Now, when someone shares sad news with you, do you eventually bring things around to telling a story that makes it about yourself, or do you sincerely ask questions to help them work things through, lend support, etc.?
