Lesson 12: Precursors (Daniel 2-3, Acts 12)
How does temptation come to you? Is it in the big issues or the small issues of life? Our study this week is about two stories where young men faced losing their lives for being faithful to God. You may be thinking, "I've never had anything like that, and I hope I never will!" Remember, however, that some of these young men started out with the issue of their loyalty to God when it came to diet. Is it possible that we have not faced the big, dramatic choices because we fail in the small choices? Or, have we lost sight of the big picture that all issues of loyalty to God, both large and small, are important? Let's dive into our study of the Bible and see what we can learn about being loyal to God under terrible pressure!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
