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 34:11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to [his] ways.
That is interesting because Jesus said the same thing. “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works” (Matthew 16:27). Works or ways do not save but reveal if we are saved. Saved people are not careless with sin nor do they choose to be sinning. In fact, “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not” (1 John 2:1). “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9). So, do you reveal yourself as saved through the way you live, or do you reveal that Satan still has you?

Words Mean Things...
Friday, October 16, 2026
Hebrews 12:28 tells us that we receive grace and go to work. If we do not, then we are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” ()Jude 1:4. “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Sinning and worldliness are not acceptable to God. Godly fear is to obey God (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Works is not earning grace but the revelation that we have received grace. Read the verse again. We receive the grace and then serve God. So, just how much do you appreciate God’s grace? Enough to be serious choosing not to sin, or do you do that which is acceptable to Satan instead and continue living in his ways of worldliness and even sinning a bit?

Luke 22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
And do you pray the same thing, or do you not think temptation to sinning and then actually sinning has any consequence and therefore you feel that you do not need to pray about it?
