Revelation 12:1-17; Daniel 3:1-30
We live in changing times with conflicting standards and the Christian world view is barely tolerated. Christians are being told that we must be tolerant to all world views and idiologies, otherwise we are called out as being the ones who are intolerant bigots.
How did Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego handle themselves when they were put in a position of having to choose to either go along with the culture and bow down to idolatrous human belief systems or remain faithful to Almighty God’s commandments?
How will we respond, as followers of Jesus Christ, to the intolerance and persecution from our culture and from those who would seek to shut us down and destroy us?
Where do our convictions lie? Are we prepared to stand firm and trust in God, no matter the consequences, even our own death or the death of those we love?
Do we dare to not conform to Babylon?
Live or die, God will save us!
Matthew 10:28
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Luke 12:4
“I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.
We are called to die with Christ that we may live with him, and to suffer with him that we may reign with him. —William Tyndale
