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...
Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Job 30:1 But now [they that are] younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
Sitting with dogs is a low status of society. Remember, insults with reference to dogs were common: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine” (Matthew 7:6) and “It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs” (Matthew 15:26). So, after listing everything he missed about the past (chapter 29), Job mentioned his present moment of recognizing that the youth look down upon him. Job had lost his status level. Now, if you had lost your status, would you fight to gain it back for the sake of the status, or would you let God handle where you should be in life?

Words Mean Things...
Wednesday, May 27, 2026
Remembering that “sin is the transgression of the law” (1 John 3:4), Romans 6:22 says, “But now being made free from sin,” which is a person who has stopped breaking God’s commandments, “and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,” being the result of a saved relationship and not a means of earning salvation, “and the end everlasting life.” That means those who continue to sin do not have everlasting life. That is how this equation works. If a person stops choosing to sin and lives a holy life, they will get the free gift of eternal life. If a person continues to sin resulting in not living a holy life, they will not get eternal life. So, are you free from sinning, or are you carelessly believing you are saved in the allowance of even just the “little sins”?

Luke 19:34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
The Lord also has need of more than a colt today. Will you help fulfill that need by serving in whatever capacity that God impresses you to serve Him by?
