Jan 17, 2013 - Jan 18, 2013 Selected Scriptures What is grace? Ask any theologian or serious Bible student that question and you will likely hear a two-word answer: unmerited favour. That may be true, but it is not entirely complete. As we are going to learn in this series, grace surrounds—in fact, envelopes—us every day of our lives. It is behind all of God's actions, it prompts His movements in our direction, it takes the galling exactness out of our response to please Him, and it relieves us from the choking grip of needless guilt.

Jan 14, 2013 - Jan 16, 2013 Daniel 12:5-13 Of all of God's creation, human beings are the most unique and frustrated. Made in God's image (Gen. 1:26), we have the capacity to think, create, and question. Curious, we stretch to grasp things we can never understand with our finite minds and we grow frustrated. We then often say and think things that are just foolish—because we believe that human reason can understand divine mysteries. However, Daniel, who was just as curious as we, didn't step on the mouse's wheel of human reason. Daniel, Volume 2: God's Plan for the Future read more

Jan 9, 2013 - Jan 11, 2013 Daniel 12:1-4 Life lived under the sun has a depressing quality about it, at least according to Solomon. “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity,” he said. “The living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten” (Eccles. 1:2; 9:5). Live, die, and be forgotten—that's encouragement for you! Anyone with such a philosophy would come to the same conclusion Solomon did: life under the sun is empty. But is this really true of God's servants? Daniel, Volume 2: God's Plan for the Future read more

Jan 4, 2013 - Jan 8, 2013 Daniel 11:1-12:1 Standing on the dividing line between history and prophecy, one truth is constant—humanity relishes war. In the long, sad history of humanity, we have failed to learn the truth that war is a long-term, cruel business. The reality of this will come to complete fruition when the rotten fruit of total war becomes ripe and is picked by the Antichrist in the last days. Brought to the very edge of prophecy, the angel showed Daniel the cruelty of war between the successors of Alexander the Great on into the demonic warfare of the Antichrist.

Jan 1, 2013 - Jan 3, 2013 Daniel 10 The skeptic says, “I won't believe in anything that I can't see or feel.” Then why do the hobgoblins of his or her mind invent very real devils where none exist? Is it possible that skeptics aren't inventing them but, through their sophisticated élan, reject their own intuitive knowledge of things unseen? The ancients were comfortable with the truth that reality exists in two worlds—the physical and the spiritual. Daniel, Volume 2: God's Plan for the Future read more
