    Dare To Be A Daniel!

    The Babylonians tried to erase the identities of Daniel and his 3 friends from being believers in Jehovah. The world is trying to do that to Christians today. Young people must be instructed and equipped to stand for their faith like Daniel did.

    DARE TO BE A DANIEL! Dan. 1:8-17 INTRODUCTION 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way….10 but the official told Daniel, “The king would then have my head because of you.” 11 Daniel then ...read more

    Chameleanity is Chameleon Christianity, the art of blending in with the world in order to avoid detection, persecution and ridicule. This is a message about Christians coming out of the closet and living our faith in the open.

    . AS CHRISTIANS WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE AS TO WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. TO BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY MUST MEAN THAT WE, ALTHOUGH WITH RESPECT AND COMPASSION,, STATE THAT WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANY OTHER RELIGION IS CORRECT.
