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)

Random King James Bible Verse...
Joshua 6:5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

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).

Nehemiah 3:16 After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur, unto [the place] over against the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty.
Nehemiah means "Jehovah comforts"; Azbuk means "strong devastation"; Beth-zur means "house of the rock"; and David means "beloved". Jehovah is able to comfort, even through strong devastation, His beloved of which all who are in Christ are considered His beloved, and as a result, we are part of the house of the rock, which is the house of Christ for “that Rock was Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:4). Jesus even told us “upon this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18), where the word “this” applies to Jesus. Therefore, the house of Christ is His church, not a denomination, but a link to the heavenly church of which all who live up the knowledge of God are apart of. So, are you a member of the house of Christ, or are you just loyal to a denomination with man-made rules?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, March 22, 2023
In Revelation 17:5, the antichrist system or network is referred to as “THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” In Jeremiah 6:2, we see that God declares, “I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman].” So, a group of people are compared to a woman. That is Bible definition. By the condition of the woman determines if they are loyal to God or not. According to Jeremiah 3:8, the Bible says, “And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.” That means that when a group of people backslides or goes into apostasy, they are compared to as being a harlot. That further means that the greatest amount of apostasy calls for the title “mother” while lesser amount of apostasy would be daughters. Further, to have daughters means that these lesser apostates broke off from the mother. This makes it all important to be sure we are living up to the Bible teaching as opposed to connecting with any of these apostates. Are you that careful in your beliefs, or do you think it does not matter to God what you believe?

Mark 12:16 And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
Whenever a person can provide the answer for themselves as opposed to us just giving the answer blatantly, it sticks with a person, can be easily recalled, and can be fixed in the mind. So, are you quick to get to a point blurting out the answer, or do you look to lead a person to think for themselves?
