Daniel Dilemma
We need to see history as prophecy.
We need this book more than ever in our times.
If we don’t understand the time we live in and we don’t understand Gods word and don’t look at this playbook culture will have the same effect on us and we won’t even notice it.
Culture has an agenda, cultures not the blame, Satan is.
He uses it to capture us.
First thing that happens, new names!
names are a sign of ownership.
Are you believing what culture says about you or what God says about you?
Culture wants to change your identity
I let culture rebrand me ( fast times at Ridge mont high)
I wanted to be someone else, I seen it deep within.
I hated being who I was.
I didn’t matter!
Daniel - “God is my Judge”
Belteshazzar- “Lady, protect the king”
Hananiah - “ Yahweh is gracious”
Shadrach - “ I am fearful of God”
Mishael - “ Who is what God is”
Meshach - “I am despised, contemptible and humiliated”
Azariah - “ Yahweh has helped”
Abednego - “ Servant of Nebo”
confidence to cowardliness
When culture shifts we must know who we are.
Bringing up boys.
When culture shifts we must not compromise our standards.
When culture shifts we must reaffirm our standards.
Culture is creating confrontation
Culture will always create a confrontation.
What are some of the ways culture has tried to shape you?
Sometimes turning the other cheek s simply outlasting them through sincere love.
When culture shifts, we must respond the right way.
I see two extremes that neither are right.
1 - Dogmatic approach: inclined to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true.
We are right and we don’t care if they go to hell or not.
It’s not that your not right, you are.
but it’d not helpful.
God didn’t call us to be right, He called us to be effective.
If we just want to be right we will be extreme and walled in and no use to anyone.
Extremism sometimes is no more than built in protectionism because we really might not have the answers, or are just afraid to get found out that were really just hypocrites like the Pharisees.
2- In the name of love let’s just let everybody in and expect no change!
God loves every body!!
I expect change every week.
In the name of love we have a generation of Christians setting the bible aside actually thinking that they can love people better than God.
We can’t author Gods love around like that
There’s truth and righteousness in both.
Daniel stayed true to his convictions but at the same time influenced his generation without compromising.
Jesus was both to his culture.
He was perfect in every way but had prostitutes, lepers, tax collectors and sinners at His feet.
And he never compromised who he was and what he believed and they all felt loved at the same time.
Truth is God’s standard.
We love and welcome everyone here at The Bridge but we believe Gods word is perfect and we won’t compromise that.
How could we and what would we benefit?
Culture Changes but God doesn’t.
Grace : God’s favor.
He loves sinners.
He doesn’t let you stay that way but He loves you just the way you are.
He favors you when your not favorable.
He died for you when you were rejecting Him.
He refuses to let us do anything that could earn us a spot in heaven.
No church, bible reading, baptism, tithing, nothing
NLT
Without truth, we are corrupt.
Without Grace we are condemned.
Without truth, we become worldly.
Without grace we become judgmental.
Truth without grace is mean
Grace without truth is meaningless.
Truth and grace is good medicine.
Exeter didn’t need another church.
We just need a place where we can receive grace and truth.
Grace invites us to be free.
Truth sets us free.
NLT.
