Last week, I was unsure that we were going to return to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream today. As I had said, in looking at its various parts we were eventually going to grasp the entire dream. And in some ways we have done that. But reading it over again, it seemed to...

I keep thinking to myself that we are going eventually study Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, but the more time that I spend on this chapter, the less likely that appears to be. It is impossible to cut pieces off this dream, and to study the parts, without taking a...

Let’s say that the Lord God has a message for you. We can say that because I believe that He really does have a message for you. It doesn’t matter if you are a righteous Christian, like David or Daniel. You could even be the most violent and despotic...

We have read this entire chapter, because it is important that you understand what lay behind these opening words. Even though the name of this king – is the same as the king of whom we read in the last chapter…. and even though the Nebuchadnezzar of this...

Probably, none of us are as committed to evangelism as much as we ought to be. We should be far more interested – and involved – in the salvation of the lost. The support of missionaries doesn’t relieve us of our personal responsibility to talk...

I have the joy of teaching from one of the best known of all Bible’s stories. In some ways my task becomes really difficult simply because the subject matter is so well known. If the preacher wants to put pressure on himself to come up with things that people...

Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, was doing everything in his power to solidify his vast empire. He was kidnaping some of the choicest young men from the nations that he had conquered. He was then training them in the culture, language and politics of the...

Even the very best of Christians can get quite sentimental about the classic Sunday School, Bible stories. We hear them over and over again, often by teachers who aren’t well prepared, or the first time that we hear them, we are very, very young, and so we get the...

Most of us are familiar with this story beyond the verses which I have read. From early in our primary-age Sunday School classes we learn about the faith and courage of the three “Hebrew children” – as they are often called. They were commanded to...

Have you ever gotten one of those emails, or as they used to come a few years ago – by way of snail mail…. Have you ever been told that some “prestigious,” but unheard of, society has recognized your accomplishments, and they wanted to give...

Every true Christian became that Christian at some particular point in time – in a moment of time. The Bible teaches an instantaneous salvation from sin. The conversion of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle Paul, the saint of God, is a perfect example. In attempt to...

This dream, prophecy and Bible chapter have been around for more than 2,500 years. And during that time they have attracted the attention of thousands of expositors and preachers. I have no way of knowing how many books have been published which deal with this dream,...

I’m usually someone who disdains the type of message that I’m prepared to preach this morning. It’s not that there isn’t a place for this sort of theme, but it seems to me that some ministries are focused entirely on self-help or feel-good...

Praise for the Prayer-Answering God – Daniel 2:19-23There seem to be a lot of churches which try to stress the very admirable idea of worshiping God. Some of them have “Praise Teams,” “Praise Bands,” and “Praise Leaders.” In...

This Book of Daniel is one of the more beloved books of the Bible. It is filled with wonderful and important prophesies, and is often compared to the Book of Revelation. And as such there is a great deal of controversy in the details. So those people who are prone to...
