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 29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle;
What is the “secret of God”? Job connected something to it in chapter 15 and verse 8: “Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?” It is wisdom. To confirm, 1 Corinthians 2:7 tells us, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom].” And keep in mind, “your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost” (1 Corinthians 6:19) or tabernacle. So, God’s wisdom was upon Job in his youth. Now, is God’s wisdom upon you today, or do you turn to worldly wisdom, especially “oppositions of science falsely so called” (1 Timothy 6:20)?

Words Mean Things...
Thursday, April 30, 2026
Paul was in a type of court situation in which the plaintiff, the Jewish leaders, exaggerated the situation and “neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me” (Acts 24:13). They did the same to Jesus and others. They do it as well today. One side will label the other with an offense but have no specific proof. The false accusers hope that a trigger word would be sufficient to sentence the person as being guilty. Now Jesus said even of us living in these last days, “take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them” (Mark 13:9), “but when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost” (Mark 13:11). So, would you study Jesus’ and Paul’s conduct to see how we ought to conduct ourselves if brought into a similar situation, or will you probably handle it as a natural human being would, which is usually with screaming how innocent you are?

Evening Thought...
Thursday, April 30, 2026
Luke 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
That nobleman is Jesus where the far country is Heaven and receiving of the kingdom is found in Daniel 7:14: “And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.” Therefore, when Jesus comes back, “He hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16). Now, a king rules and has rules, so are you being talked out of obeying those rules, or are you part of “they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12) because Jesus asked, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15)?
