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, October 5, 2026
Job 34:1-2 Furthermore Elihu answered and said, Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
So far, Elihu had talked quite a bit about nothing, and here, he basically acknowledged that they were wise men but evidently, he was wiser because he had something to contribute that they did not even think of. They may have had knowledge but he was more knowledgeable than they. Now, when you have something important to say, do you just say it, or do you have to build it up first into some type of bragging moment?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Hebrews 10:2 tells us “that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins”, which means that at some point we will no longer remember our sins. The reason they are not forgotten now upon confession to God is to keep us from doing it again given the same circumstances. So, do you appreciate the remembrance of past sins to keep you from doing it again and recognize it is necessary to remember them for now?

Evening Thought...
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
Peter would later write, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8) to apply it to everyone. And it does not say, “Except if you’re saved!” Again, that is for everyone proving again that there is no guarantee of salvation by simply stating, “I believe in Jesus” so many years ago as you live an indifferent lifestyle towards God. Every day since that moment, Satan has been after all of us to cause us to want to change our minds and deny Christ. He does it through temptations to sinning. So, has Satan been successful in your life because you are indifferent towards sin of any kind, or do you see the serious battle you are in with Satan and need to constantly “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7), which means obedience to God?
