Youth Groups, Dec. 15
This Sunday our youth will explore the account of Daniel taking a stand for God and seeing God's amazing preservation. You most likely know the story of Daniel in the lion's den. I find it amazing that Daniel would not have seen God's mighty hand in action had he adjusted his prayer practices to match the new law.
Let's face it. It's hard to be like Daniel and refuse to cave to pressure. We have plenty of examples of "closet Christians" on one end and way-too-in-your-face Christians on the other end, but there are fewer known examples of people like Daniel, who quietly but openly follow God and invite others to see how their faith molds their character.
Take some time this week to talk as a family about how to live out your faith and go against the grain of culture. The button below will allow you to download a discussion sheet. You can also look up places in the world where Christians are persecuted even today. Opendoorsusa.org is one good place to start. Their "world watch list" ranks countries by persecution level.
