Life for the Israelites during the time of Daniel held two messages: one that Jeremiah was preaching of destruction, and another message promoted in society, opposed to God’s message, of prosperity. God’s people believed the message that was easier to hear (of prosperity) but it was lies. Today we look at what it would have been like for the faithful, Jeremiah, and Daniel and what it means for us. There are still two messages today, God’s Word and that which is opposed to God’s Word. Which will we choose to believe and act in accordance?

We are called to live our lives in a way to show people, who don’t know the true God, who He is through our lives. We are meant to live with intentionality and to act with purpose. Today we look at the prophet Daniel, the ancient city of Colosse, and local ministry right here in Perry Hall, Maryland as examples of living with intentionality to honor and show the importance of our relationship with God to others.
