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...
Monday, September 16, 2024
Job 6:15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;
When Job said that they “pass away”, they are forgotten, and in the end, if such people continue to be deceitful, “As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more]: but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation” (Proverbs 10:25). The wicked, who all them that practice any amount of sinning without repentance, shall be no more. Only the righteous get eternal life. So, you may not be deceitful, but are you practicing any sin and will be as water droplets that flow downstream and pass away, or do you confess all your sins having Jesus forgiving them (1 John 1:9) and will be part of those that receive everlasting life?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, September 16, 2024
So, back in the day of Samuel, he had made a serious mistake that caused the congregation to revolt. It was brought to Samuel’s attention in 1 Samuel 8:5, “And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” Why did Samuel leave his disobedient sons in office? They should have been disciplined. Does your church do the same thing? Do they leave unruly leaders make a disgrace in the office the hold without correction, or does your church administer biblical correction?

Evening Thought...

Luke 7:11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
So, the disciples of Jesus followed Him into Nain, which means “beauty”. And when we follow Jesus today, He wants to take us from our sinful mess to clean us up and present us in a beautiful way (Jude 1:24). So, will you follow Jesus through His Word every day allowing Him to clean you up more and more (John 17:17)?
