From the Pulpit...

Our preacher taught us that Daniel 1 covers a period of three years in which Daniel and his friends were taken to Babylon, instructed in the wisdom of the Chaldeans, and placed into positions of great influence in the Babylonian kingdom. God has His plan and is fulfilling it even when evil reigns in the world. We were reminded that obedience to authority is a matter of testimony. We must not be indifferent to the things going on around us, but we have to live for God despite what is going on around us.
