Top Highlights
“If you want convictions, you will have to get into the Word of God and read and study it earnestly. People who lack holy convictions are people who do not spend much time in the Word of God. If one sincerely reads and studies the Scriptures, they will soon possess strong and holy convictions in regards to one’s personal conduct. A great many of our churches today lack holy convictions. The reason is that they have so de-emphasized the Word of God in their program, that they no longer have good solid Biblical convictions.” (Page 39)
“For Jerusalem to be conquered by the heathen, and for Jerusalem to have her people go into captivity to the heathen and have its Temple pilfered by the heathen was all a great shame to Jehovah God and to the people of Israel. That is the dismal situation in which Daniel begins his book.” (Page 14)
“It takes a lot more courage to do right than to float along with the world. Opposing the trends and culture of the day will not be done by the weak-kneed. No Christian will have much of a testimony who does not have courage to stand and proclaim his convictions in this godless world.” (Page 46)
“The Babylonians changed Daniel’s name but not his nature. The culture of Babylon did not change the character of Daniel. His loyalty to the Lord was not diminished by the glitter of what was then the greatest city on the earth. He did not bow down to culture as so many do today.” (Page 42)
“These verses report a great national tragedy for Israel. The national tragedy can be described in one word—‘conquered.’ This means loss of freedom, loss of possessions, loss of well-being, loss of joy, and loss of honor.” (Page 13)
