Introduction: Currently, I'm reading a delightful book that explains why the outspoken opponents of God are idiots. That may sound a little undiplomatic, but this book is filled with humor and logic, and it pokes a hole in the so-called scientific gasbags that pu...
Introduction: Has your life been radically changed at some point? How did you react to that? Last year my car was totaled in a multiple car accident. A driver who was not paying attention rammed me, and the impact caused a chain reaction with other cars. Thank God...
Introduction: My neighbor was sitting on the curb at his front lawn. His head was in his hands. This was unusual, so I walked over and asked him what was the matter. He told me that he felt as if a black cloud was following him around because he faced a series of...
Introduction: Have you been in a crowd which is standing to praise a person? What if you did not agree that special praise was due? Did you stand anyway? Have you been in church when they asked those to stand who wanted to make a new commitment to God, and you wer...
Introduction: Do you like to avoid being embarrassed? I do! Being publically shamed is one of the worst things for most people. It hurts even more if you have a very high status in your community. The Bible warns in Proverbs 16:18 that "Pride goes before destruc...

Introduction: A new development this week! Daniel is the recipient of a vision, not merely the interpreter of the king's dreams. This personal vision parallels the "history of the world" dream given to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel chapter 2. That dream dealt with the...
Introduction: Two years after his first dream, Daniel dreams he is strolling by the water when suddenly he is face to face with a powerful sheep with two big horns - and no one is there to rescue him. It turns out his dream is not so much about danger, or adventu...
Introduction: When we studied Daniel 7 and 8 did you ask yourself, "What relevance does the cleansing of the sanctuary have to me?" Hopefully, you discovered the relevance in these lessons. But, if you had these feelings, you can be sure that Daniel did not. The i...
Introduction: This week we begin our study of Daniel's last major vision. Daniel is now an old man, probably around 90 years of age. In the prior visions Daniel has been shown the sweep of history among nations. This week we find another, critical, aspect of histo...
Introduction: Let's review. Three weeks ago we found Daniel praying and fasting for understanding of the appalling vision he recorded in Daniel 8. (See Daniel 8:27.) Gabriel came to Daniel in our study two weeks ago (Daniel 9) to explain the vision. Last week, in...
Introduction: This week we finish both Daniel's final vision and the book of Daniel. Are you ready for Jesus to return and bring an end to sin and death? This last chapter not only talks about the end of sin, it gives us additional information on what we have prev...
