A WORD FROM THE PASTOR

"...our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace..."  Daniel 3:17 (NKJV)

Daniel 3 describes the time when Nebuchadnezzar constructed a gold image measuring ninety feet tall and nine feet wide.  The king ordered the image to be worshipped, but the three Hebrew boys refused.  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were ordered to break God's first and second commandments by worshipping the idols.  They were unwilling to yield even if the Lord were to allow them to die in the fire, for they did not count their own lives worth keeping if preserving themselves meant that they would dishonor the Lord.

Are we willing to make such a commitment, to be willing to sacrifice our very lives, rather than to betray Him?
