    Life is full of chaos but God is in control

    Chaos is a state that most people don’t like to live in. Chaos and its cousins: confusion, disorder, mess, clutter, muddle, anarchy, and pandemonium are never welcome in my life. But for some reason, just like a natural gas salesperson, they keep knocking at my door; seeking to interrupt my ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,349 views

    Here is a very famous story, but we have to get passed the "wow!" response. It is a model of how God works, and how He uses His servants to accomplish His purposes.

    Passage: Daniel 6:1-28 Intro: There are not a lot of songs written about people of the Bible other than Jesus. 1. can’t think of one about Paul, or Peter, or John. 2. but I grew up singing one about Daniel. “Standing on a purpose firm, heeding God’s command. Honor them the ...read more

    Here is a fabulous dream that made Daniel a little ill. And it is overwhelming, unless God is in control.

    Passage: Daniel 7:1-14 Intro: We’ve come to the controversial part of Daniel. 1. liberal scholars are very confused, because they begin with the assumption that God does not prophesy events in the future 2. therefore, this dream recorded here is not predictive, and the same scholars ...read more
