Daniel’s Friends: "But If Not—“

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 8, 2020

Suppose your employer or ruler demanded you worship an image or idol, and would be put to death if you refused? That happened to Daniel's three friends, who were willing to die for their faith before ever bowing down to any other god besides the God of Israel.

Daniel’s friends: “But if not—“ Introduction: Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon during Daniel’s youth, certainly did not lack a sense of ego or self-importance. In chapter 2, he made an impossible demand on Babylon’s wise men, instructing them to repeat the king’s dream and what it meant or else ...read more

Solomon is considered to be one of, if not the smartest man who ever walked on this earth. When a man like this gives advice, it might be smart for us to listen to him. In this verse of scripture he reveals two things:

Jesus Uncut

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

A preacher is very much like a traffic engineer. And the preachers of Jesus’ day were routing the traffic right off a washed-out bridge with no warning. For real love always stands against deception.

While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ...read more
