Living for God in an Ungodly Culture
Daniel 1:8 (NLT)
“Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.”
How to Pass the Test When Confrontation Comes:
1. Determine in your heart now that you will not compromise your convictions and commitments to God.
Jeremiah 10:2 (NIV)
“Do not learn the ways of the nations…”
Jeremiah 10:5 (NIV)
“They can do no harm nor can they do any good.”
Jeremiah 10:6 (NIV)
“No one is like you, Lord; You are great, and Your Name is mighty in power.”
Jeremiah 17:5-8 (NIV)
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord. That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.’”
2. Respond with honor and respect.
Daniel 1:8-10 (NLT)
“He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. Now God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel.”
1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
“You are a...royal priesthood.”
Mark 11:17 (NIV)
“…‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand.”
