  • Stand Strong
  • Centuries ago, after repeatedly rejecting God, Israel and Judah were defeated by the nations surrounding them. But there was still the loyal remnant, refusing to bow down even in the face of great adversity. The life of Daniel demonstrates how a follower of God can be courageous and strong despite opposition from every angle. Join us in this series as we learn life lessons from the Book of Daniel.

Standing Up in a Bow-Down World
Rene Schlaepfer · June 26, 2011
It's a famous story: out of devotion to God, three men wouldn't bow down to the Babylonian king. Thrown into a blazing fire, they were miraculously saved! But this story wasn't unique; persecution of Christians has increased over the years. In the western world, our own adversity usually isn't as dramatic, but our calling to honor God is the same. How can we be unwavering in our faith in Jesus Christ in a world that is becoming increasingly intolerant?
