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).

Job 34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
Now the accusation of associating with wicked men was thrown at Job by Elihu. God does have a principle on this matter, but as usual, people misapply scripture. “He that walketh with wise [men] shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20). Therefore, Elihu concluded that if Job allowed the wicked to associate with himself, Job may not have sinned, but he would then be destroyed with the wicked for that principle of being with wicked people. But that is not how to apply God’s principle. To walk with the wicked is to also be joining with them in their wickedness. We are not condemned to hell for the sins around us. We are only responsible for our own sins. Although it may not look good to have wicked people as companions, do you recognize that we are only judged upon the sins we commit?

Words Mean Things...

Hebrews 12:4 tells us, “Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” But if a person is saved, then this verse has to be removed from the Bible. If there is no consequence to sin, like the loss of salvation, why strive so hard? That is because there is a consequence and Jesus even tells us, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able” (Luke 13:24). The gift of eternal life is free, but the condition to receive it is not. Sin is not going to Heaven. So, by the grace and divine power of God, are you striving against sin, or are you being a careless, worldly Christian?

Luke 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Jesus was counted as a transgressor though He was not. We are transgressors and have not suffered as He did. It is not fair, but thank God that this was done because He now is able to save the transgressor and even “present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 24). So, when God says, “let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18), do you see the unreasonableness that Jesus suffered for us and you personally to allow us who were guilty become innocent?
