Stand TALL (6 of 6)
Series: Unbowed
Joey Rodgers
Daniel 6:1-28
This AM we're concluding our series on what it means to live unbowed to culture and humbly before God. To live unbowed means to live not submitted to the pressure/demands around you - to not be stuffed into the mold of culture but to live transformed by God.
It's my hope that thru these lessons on Daniel and his friends we've learned what it means to live right-side up in our upside-down, inside-out world as we've come to understand what Daniel knew - There's a God in Heaven and He's in complete control!
Of course, I can think of no better way to finish a series on Daniel than w/ the classic story of Daniel/the lions' den. If you've spent any time in church, you're likely familiar w/ this story. But I wonder if we've become so familiar w/ the story we've missed a great lesson on what's necessary to stand tall in the public arena.

It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, w/ 3 administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so the king might not suffer loss. Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, b/c he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent...So the administrators and the satraps went as a group to the king and said: 'O King Darius, live forever! The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or man during the next 30 days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the lion's den.'' 6:1-7
What happened? As thru-out Daniel' ...
