Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023

God will never forsake His own. In captivity, God will protect the righteous from evil rulers so their captivity will be no more than they can stand. Look at the life of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Let us begin a study of the book of Daniel to understand the protection of righteous Hebrew children during the captivity. God has always promised to his righteous he would always be with them in time of peril. The very nature of man is to wonder or worry about their future. When under stress, the ...read more

God’s Comfort In Captivity Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023

In faith and trust of God, the righteous will find comfort in captivity. Wisdom will be given for those who seek to find it.

Making A Dice Decide

Flipping a coin and making a dice decide for you is not the way of a Christian, or opening the Bible and keeping your finger on a verse with closed eyes is the way of the spiritually blind.

Be subject to authorities but obey God rather than man where there is a conflict.

Who are you, whom do you serve? I pray you are a Christian, a Christ follower, and a Child of God. Who do you say you are?

Can I Get A Witness

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 12, 2024

In our text, we find an impossible situation started with a sleepless night. We have all probably had those kinds of nights. Something keeps us up, we are restless, or our minds cannot rest. Like Nebuchadnezzar, we may have a really bad dream or nightmare.

TITLE: CAN I GET A WITNESS SCRIPTURE: DANIEL 2:9-24 I love when a writer of the Bible just stops what he is writing and beings to praise God. But it is even more impressive to me when someone who is not connected to Jehovah sees the work of Jehovah and has to praise Him, even if that person ...read more
