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 34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
The mighty may rule the world today, but in the end, they shall be overthrown by God. Now, are you careful to use what authority you have in a compassionate and responsible manner, or do you wield it over others?

Words Mean Things...
Thursday, October 29, 2026
James 4:8 tells us to “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded”, which appears to be action expected to be taken once a person believes. If we do not draw nigh to God, He will not draw nigh to us. And purifying the heart is expected to be conducted, especially towards those who think they can serve both God and mammon, a double minded person, which is referring to the things of this world. These are mere reactions to receiving God’s grace as opposed to taking advantage of Him. So, do you truly believe prompting you to the action of daily time in God’s Word and ceasing from sin, or do you just say you believe while you continue to draw near to the things of this world and not interested in having a pure heart?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Jesus performed a miracle on what would be considered an enemy, and yet, the mob still insisted upon taking him prisoner. Now, do kind deeds done to you when you do not deserve them affect you positively, or does it have no impact as you dismiss it from your mind?
