In the Old Testament book of Daniel we find the example of some people who lived as a small minority in the midst of a wicked, pagan society that not only did not share their values, but who were often openly antagonistic toward them. However, For the sake of God’s name and for His glory they lived in a way that was holy and set apart in the midst of that culture. Today the church in America find itself in a similar position, and the challenge is in front of us, will we dare to live in these days as Daniel and his friends in theirs. The Bible encourages us to think of ourselves as exiles here, who proclaim with their lives and also with their mouths that their citizenship is in heaven. We eagerly await the day when our King will return from there to take us home. I hope you can join us as we look to the book of Daniel for help in how to find the courage to live in a counter-cultural way.
