Mary was passionate about her Lord and would let nothing hinder her worship of Him. Receive updates via email or check out the latest resources f...

Imagine someone is trying to trip you up or get you in trouble at work but they can't think of anything! That is what happens with Daniel but that does not stop them from trying to cause him harm. Daniel's faith was going to be tried once more but just as it had in the past it was going to yield a glorious testimony for his God. His faithfulness to God was the reason he was going to the lions den...

There is quite the contrast between Nebuchadnezzar's words before and after his fall. There are also similarities between his story and the prodigal son's that we will explore today. Spurgeon had a few things to say about the believers response to the sovereignty of God which we will talk about too in our study of the second half of Daniel chapter 4. Becoming a daughter of the King: http://www.sit...
