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 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
Do you believe God answers your prayers, even in a manner different from your expectations?

Words Mean Things...
Monday, April 21, 2025
All that we do ends up in the hands of the next generation: “Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me” (Ecclesiastes 2:18). So, what are you passing on to the next generation? That which is beneficial or that which they have to clean up for the mess that was made?

Evening Thought...

Luke 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
After the lawyer asked, “what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (Luke 10:25), Jesus pointed him to “the law” (Luke 10:26). After stating the two commandments (Luke 10:27) that summarize the Ten Commandments, Jesus said, “this do, and thou shalt live” (Luke 10:28), which means if we do not do, we shall not live. That does not mean we earn salvation, but salvation is not for the careless and disobedient (Romans 2:13). Jesus did not come to establish sinners in their sins but to have them “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Upon being forgiven freely of all the times a person has broken the commandments; we then go forward living the commandments in His strength (Jude 24). As you see, there is no earning but rather a changed life after being saved. So, do you “do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (1 John 3:22), or have you “become a transgressor of the law” (James 2:11)?
