This week’s devotion: William Temple: The Church’s Impact on Society Next week’s devotion: John Woolman: Breaking the Yoke of Oppression
This week we launched into a new sermon series, looking at the book of Daniel. Our premise is that the experience of exile he and his contemporaries went through can be very instructive, even a model & example, for us in the Pacific Northwest in 2017. How do we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land (Psalm 137)? Daniel shows us how. This first week I spent time exploring what it means to live with conviction – the way that Daniel does by refusing to eat from the King’s menu, drawing a line regarding food because of the priority of his relationship with God. I came across this wonderful article about Daniel, in which the authors state that Daniel was a “faithful compromiser.” But how could he be one of conviction and compromise? Is that possible? Is that actually one of the lessons to be learned from Daniel? How do we do that? Give it a read and let me know what you think! – Mark
