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 34:6 Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression.
So, Elihu was basically saying that to agree with Job in his righteousness, a lie would have to be told and believed. Job also declared that his wounds which were incurable were not brought on by transgression. And some times that is true. We do not always deserve what we receive in this world, but remember, God does not place a protective hand over His own that none should ever have to suffer. If that were the case, everyone would sign up. Instead, we live in a sinful world in which consequences against the innocent does happen. Now, does that cause you to forsake God when it is allowed to happen to you, or do you trust in God that the suffering is working for His glory in some manner?

Words Mean Things...
Sunday, October 11, 2026
Hebrews 10:26 tells us that “if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.” The sacrifice of Jesus does not cover willful nor careless sinning, even if it is just “little sins”. So, the notion that a person can be saved and then live worldly with even a bit of sinning is not biblical. And “sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4), which means the Ten Commandments are indeed still binding as “the doers of the law shall be justified” (Romans 2:13) and not the law breakers (Matthew 7:21-23). So, are you permitting at least little sins in your life thinking you are still saved, or do you see that “the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23)?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
This does not mean we are to quit our jobs and responsibilities and rely upon God to provide. Even Paul wrote, “if any would not work, neither should he eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). This is about being sent as a type of missionary. Even so, how willing are you to depend upon God for all your needs?
