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 21, 2026
Job 33:19-20 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong [pain]: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
The initial reaction after a chastening is a loss of appetite, but to lose the appetite for bread or the Word searching it daintily to the point that it is almost like going back to being on the milk of the Word is not good. “I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able” (1 Corinthians 3:2). Keep in mind, “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent” (Revelation 3:19). So, do you take the chastening of the Lord as making us better Christians, or do you lose your appetite for Christianity because of it?

Words Mean Things...
Tuesday, September 22, 2026
2 Timothy 4:3-4 tells us, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Evidently, truth is something that exists, so all who do not believe anyone can have truth is already in trouble. Further, if the gospel that is being listened too is pleasant to the ears instead of challenging one’s soul, stop listening to it for “broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat” (Matthew 7:13), meaning that if the vast majority of Christianity are able to enter into Heaven in the manner being taught, more than likely it is error for “strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14). So, who do you listen to? One that promises Heaven despite the continuation of sinning, or one that tells you to forsake your sins and repent by the grace of God?

Evening Thought...

Luke 22:17-18 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Only the “fruit of the vine”, which are fresh grapes and unfermented can represent the sinless Christ’s blood that was shed. In other words, alcohol is a symbol of sin. Now, when your church has a communion service, is it with the sinful symbol of alcoholic wine, or is it with the sinless symbol of unfermented grape juice?
