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...
Sunday, July 26, 2026
Job 31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
Do you think it is by your efforts alone that you have accumulated funds sufficient to make ends meet and then some, or do you recognize the gift of God giving you the required knowledge, placing you into certain circumstances that people call coincidences or getting a break, being recognized for a job well done, etc.?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, July 26, 2026
Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 12:7 that “there was given to me a thorn in the flesh”. Many wonder what symbolic meaning this referred to physically. Well, Galatians 4:15 mentions, “if [it had been] possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.” More than likely, after Paul’s encounter with Jesus (Acts 9:3-8), blinding him for three days (Acts 9:9), Paul never fully recovered his eyesight. There is a reason for this that we know not of, but for us to question why Paul, a great instrument of God, could not be healed completely is not for us to question but to point to the fact that the gift of healing is not always successful, nor are our requests for healing always to our benefit. So, does this cause you a lack of faith, or does your faith remain strong knowing that there is some other purpose for the healing not to occur?

Evening Thought...

Luke 21:1-2 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
This poor widow stood out in a crowd of fashionably dressed rich folk. It would be hard to not have noticed. Now, do you notice those who struggle, or do you ignore such people?
