Telling us what to do, who is in authority, what our opinion needs to be, how to behave, how to succeed or how to fit in. The loudest voices in culture today are drifting farther and farther away from the voice of a holy God. Daniel lived in an unholy land. Although he held favor with the Babylonian rulers, he was asked to act contrary to his faith. When Daniel refused, he was persecuted. Christians all over the world are persecuted for their faith. Even in America, Christians are asked to act contrary to how God would have them live. How will we respond? In this series, we will discuss the voices we hear and have to respond to. We will walk through the choices we have to make and how God would have us live Holy in an unholy land.
