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 28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Godly wisdom supersedes these earthly items, but are you seeing the value of having godly wisdom? It is the most precious thing to ever obtain.

Words Mean Things...
Friday, April 17, 2026
In Acts 11, Peter addressed the council about his experience with Cornellius, a Roman soldier. The Bible says, “Peter rehearsed [the matter” (Acts 11:4), yet Jesus said, “when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak” (Matthew 10:19). This may appear as a contradiction between the words of Jesus and the practice of Peter; however, Jesus spoke in the context of persecution while Peter was simply addressing questions of church matters. So, do you see that not every council meeting is to be attended unrehearsed, but those of simple church matters ought to be thoughtfully planned out?

Luke 19:1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
The name Jericho means “a place of fragrance”. Incense, representing the prayers of God’s people (Psalms 141:2), has a fragrance as well. So, are you lifting up your prayers to Jesus, or do you approach every moment in life as if you really know what you are doing and do not need the presence of Jesus to pass through?
